Great places to camp, ride and host events:

Miscellaneous:

  • Riding Vacations:  For Peru  www.toursonhorseback.com In Mexico: Valle de Bravo, Mexico- Finca Enyhe-La Sierra Cabalgatas  www.mexicohorsevacation.com  - great for the endurance rider!     World wide: www.hiddentrails.com  and www.equestrianvacations.com and  www.ridingtours.com  and  www.ricotours.com  Ask for "riding"

  • Custom Carts for all sizes of horses.   Triple C Carts. 877-263-8225 Tripleccarts.com 

  • Horse Hauling: "Equine Escort Service” Offers the best individual attention that loving equine owners demand.  My claim to fame is “Pamper” as the horse comes first.  Equines travel in a deluxe insulated trailer, which can be a "box stall on wheels" or slant load, if more that one horse is hauled. The air ride suspension on the truck and a shock absorber on the gooseneck provide the most comfortable ride possible for the horse.  Fresh apples, carrots and quality hay along with water are offered every 3-4 hours during mandatory rest and inspection stops.  Electrolytes are given when necessary.   When distance requires it, overnight stays are provided at horse hotels.    Laura Dobbe       715-677-4627 Home       715-498-8909 Cell       yeeehaw4@gmail.com

  • Peruvian Stallion: People ask me who I like as a stallion.  Well I love this horse.  Never have I meet a stallion with the personality, disposition, intelligence and loyalty followed by gait and confirmation as this guy.  He will never be seen in the show ring nor does he leave the farm. (He will die there.) He is owned, loved  and handled by Shirley, who is an older disabled confined to a motorized wheel chair. This stallion is so quite and calm that Shirley could handle him with a bale sting and tells him, "ok,  now you can get on" or "time to get off" with just a little tug on the string. (Her husband holds the mare). There is no striking or screaming, just a soft love knickers from this stallion when a mare is present.  This stallion is called Shorty (cause he was once short as a baby), is really Fuego Brillante #11583 (1994) a true liver chestnut with star, stripe and snip and a coronet sock on rear left hind.  Click here for his pedigree. If you want to have a Shorty baby then you have to call Shirley Gabert in Watertown, SD at 605-886-5137 to arrange a date. I have kept this stallion a secret - for selfish reasons and for that I am sorry.  It is not fair to Shorty or to Shirley - especially since every year she must undergo some type of major surgery on some part of her body and she must some how try to make ends meet.  All of my Shorty babies have improved upon my mares with each foal superb to their damn.  Something that is a hard feat to do.  I LOVE this stallion and his gentle personality, confirmation and gait come through my mares and into my foals.
