About High Mountain Horse

My photo
High Mountain Horse
Welcome to High Mountain Horse, a site for those who want to get out there and enjoy nature and their horses. I’m Gin Getz. My husband and son and I reside on a remote mountain in southern Colorado where we live and work with our horses. We run a guest ranch and provide outfitting services, as well as raise and train trail horses. Throughout this blog, we share personal stories of our experiences, recounts of our adventures, and sometimes just thoughts and observations. Other times, we share specific skills we use for training, riding, packing, camping and working in the back country. I 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. I hope you will share with us – I sure don’t claim to know it all. It’s all an on-going process. Your input and feedback are so appreciated. Please feel free to write me directly. And if you have a moment, please visit our literary blog on life in the mountains called High Mountain Musing. Thanks for stopping by. Come back again real soon. And in the meanwhile, happy trails to you…
