Introduction

Welcome to High Mountain Horse Blog! It is a rather generic name, but as you’ll see, it's rather appropriate. We live high in the mountains at our home and guest ranch, at an elevation of nearly 10,000 feet. And we’re outfitters; our work is centered around our beloved equine companions. So you see, the name is simple, but it fits.

Throughout this blog, we will be sharing with you our personal stories of our experiences, recounts of our adventures, and sometimes just our thoughts and observations. Other times, we’ll share specific skills we use with our horses for training, riding, packing, camping and working in the back country. You’ll see our love of our horses and the land shining through in everything we do.

We hope you will join us, kick back and read a story, learn a new skill, or perhaps a new way of doing something you already know. We hope you will share with us – we sure don’t claim to know it all. Nor do we believe there is just one right way of doing things. We all have to do what works for each us. And likewise, we all have to learn what works best for the horse. It’s all on on-going process. Enjoy the ride!
