When not on trips we try to raise enough feed to feed our 65 head of horses and mules. We do as much ranch work as we can with our horse and mule teams.

We are always training a few of the horse and mule colts we raise for the pack or riding string, to use in teams to pull wagons and do the field work, and to skid logs and rails for our next building project. Every year in April we host a mule training clinic. I have a Masters in education and have coached and taught for 15 years before buying this outfitting business in 1985. I was raised on a dairy farm in Minnesota, where my father farmed with horses and always used a team to do the daily chores around the dairy farm.
I have been president of the Four Corners Draft Horse, Mule and Carriage Association since 1998. We are located in southwest Colorado near Durango, 30 miles north of the New Mexico border.
