July 2019 Submissions

​We have received two emails asking for RFVHC help. One is to re-home a really cool cattle dog, the other from a Florida girl, in Aspen for the summer, that wants to exercise horses. I have asked each to help the RFVHC by supporting us through membership. Our classified ads are one reason to join the Horse Council, the Directory which is getting better and is also helpful to all our members by "spreading the word" about their equine services. Please ask your friends to join and help keep horses on our landscapes, in our stables and on everyone's minds. Help us protect our Western Heritage!

RFVHC member is looking for trail riding recommendations: 
Anyone have recommendations for good places to horse camp locallyish this weekend? I'm looking at Marble, Meridith, Indy pass areas, but I can't really find anything that looks like it'd work. I'm hoping for a place to park the truck and trailer to use as our camp and home base, with some good long trails to ride out on for day trips. — looking for recommendations. Sigmastrom@gmail.com

We received notice that a local just purchased on older trail gelding and is looking for a creative boarding solution. DO YOU NEED help with horses, dogs, goats, etc a few hours per week in exchange for free, pasture boarding? El Jebel to Aspen. More info soon!

I'm looking for two ponies or small horses to use over the summer with my grandchildren. They've been riding my mule 3 days a week and are ready to start riding out on the trail with me. I'd happily board them with my mules at Sopris Mountain Ranch, or at your property. Feel free to PM me with details of what you have that might be suitable for us. We had to put one our mules down today, and there are three heart broken kids here....plus one grandama. It would heal our souls a little to find some new equine friends. :) My number is 970-319-5343. Thank you!

April 2019 Submissions:

Looking for a horse to lease for Summer 2019, at 6’ 212 lbs, I’d prefer a gelding of at least 1200/1250 lbs.
Contact Aaron Abelman aaronabelman@gmail.com Aaron is a RFVHC member
Here’s my horse background: 

1986-1996 : volunteer horse wrangler at Mayan Dude Ranch in Bandera, Texas. I fed, mucked, saddled and trail rode. Summers. 

1996-2005: summer job horse wrangler at Mayan Ranch. Led and dragged trail rides as well. Tamed new horses. 

2005-2008: full time wrangler Mayan dude ranch. Did above plus some farrier work. 

2001-2011: undergrad and grad school volunteer at conners carriages and occasions outside Tallahassee, FL. After school riding and weekend trail guide. 

2017: partial lease of Jasper - Oldenburg cross gelding for trail riding twice a week. 

October 2017-oct 2018: part time to full time ranch hand at Windwalkers in Missouri Heights. Rode very rarely. 

October 2018-dec 2018: ranch hand at smiling goat ranch in Carbondale. Fed, mucked, lunged, and rarely took a dressage lesson geared toward Horse Boy Method. 

My goal is to be riding trials for pleasure ASAP and since I have not owned yet I believe the logical step would be to lease first. I’d love to have a horse for the summer to ride at my leisure. I can board onsite or commute to a nearby property. I am financially capable of lease terms. I can provide tack if needed. At 6’ 212 lbs, I’d prefer a gelding of at least 1200/1250 lbs.

Best,

Pam Burke saddlesore@hwy2.com Hi,

I breed Cleveland Bay horses along with friends at www.bearpawbays.com 
and we are looking for a stallion, Tregoyd Borrower, that we heard might 
be standing in Colorado. Other than the youtube video from 2011 that 
shows him and his name, we have come up dry with online searches. In a 
hail mary pass, I'm writing to see if you know of the horse and owner, 
know someone we might talk to in the search, or another direction to search.

You can pass my name and email on to others who might have input on this 
quest.

Thank you,

Pam Burke

February 2019 Submissions

I just got a trail horse, and am looking for people to trail ride with in the summer. I do not have a truck and trailer.
What’s the best way to find trail friends who could come pick me up?
My horse is boarded locally    For more info contact us at RFVhorsecouncil@gmail.com

​Hi there! 
My name is Belle Jurgensen. I’m an Aspen native currently enrolled at CSU in the Equine Science program. I have taken this spring semester off and am now back home for a bit. Im hoping to bring back a 3 year old filly the 3rd week of April. I’ve been looking around for a smaller scale- perhaps private facility that I might be able to board her at while I continue with her training. I have been involved with all the larger boarding operations and am just not sure what else I might be missing so I thought you guys may have more resources or a better idea of any possible options. 
Thanks so much,    For more info for Belle contact us at RFVhorsecouncil@gmail.com
