We normally roll out the red carpet for our guests, and look forward to introducing new folks to the ranch. This week, there was a surprising new group who showed up unexpectedly for a little ranch vacation. Sheep!
The sheep were spotted off and on for a couple days earlier in the week just down the road. Then, mid-week, they decided to make their presence official as they headed up the driveway. Troy saddled up Caddy and rounded them up the other morning. We’ve had to do some searching to try to figure out who they belong to: lots of phone calls, asking around at the Clark Store, and networking with other ranchers. Finally, the owner was located and he’s coming to pick them up in the next couple days. In the meantime, they are fun little pets to have hanging around and are providing a real shock for our horses. They can’t quite figure out what these weird smelling animals are doing in their round pen!
It just goes to show that every day is a new adventure here at Vista Verde, and we love a good adventure.
