I'm hopefully going to be putting up some pics/videos/blogs or some combination of the three in the near future, so any constructive criticism would be appreciated :)

Country: US

Do you have any pets?: Yes, I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens, and 2 rabbits.

Goose is adorable, and coming along wonderfully.I just moved him home yesterday and after the seven hour trailer ride he was a complete champ. Quite calm on the trailer and fairly relaxed after being introduced to his new home. He continues to surprise me.

I would love to hear about what you are up to as well!

I have to sell him this summer though. We are moving to Barbados in November and although I am very excited about it, I hate the thoughts of selling Bud. He's my best pal and I will miss him. Nice to meet you and as soon as I figure it out, I will post some pictures on here.

We've spent our entire adult life in the horseback outfitting/vacation industry, from wilderness pack trips and hunting camp to the adventure rides we are doing now. Our website is very comprehensive and our About the Wade Family page will tell you more about us and our philosophy. There are lots of job opportunities in the guest ranch industry, pack trips, etc. if you are interested in learning more about horses. We are staffed ourselves, but I refer people to Ranchweb.com and funjobs.com to start with if you are looking for a job in the industry. On the Press Kit/Media page, scroll down and you will find PDF's of a couple of recent articles about our trips, in The Trail Rider Magazine and the Canadian Horse Journal.

Are we legit crazy?!

A day or two ago someone asked me what makes riders giddy about horses and the prospect of riding. I didn't really know the answer then and I still don't, but today I was asking myself why I bother. It was super windy this morning and a storm was blowing in, but I had to let the 7 horses and ponies out to pasture, and it was pretty hectic. They all have their buddies of course, so no matter what order I did it in someone was feeling left behind, and they were all being very pushy and one… Continue

Short post on my thoughts about jumping into horse ownership

So one thing that really grinds my gears is when ignorant people jump into the ownership of horses (or any animal really) just because they've ridden a few times and hey- there's nothing to it, right? They think that having a horse will be a fun thing to do a weekend or two out of the month, and it'll sure make a pretty lawn ornament when it's not in use! Kind of like a pretty sports car. But then they get their my little pony home, and discover that not only do they not know how to ride, but… Continue
