Riding the RustRidge Trails

Jim on Blade

Sharyn on Bo

It's that time of year again

This is my 4th harvest and I can't wait till more grapes come in, I know it will be soon because the weather is warm and the grapes are ripening quickly.

Genuwine at Four Months Old

Jim is training Genuwine by picking up his front and back feet and then moving him with his body. Genuwine responds quite readily even though Jim hasn't worked with him on a consistent basis. Genuwine  had lots of handling during his first week of life both at the ranch and at UC Davis Vet Hospital and so he is very comfortable with human interaction and isn't fearful or resistant.

Genuwine and the Herd

Visiting Genuwine on the hottest day of the year. He is quite happy with his extended family however he is always happy to see us. Soon he will be weaned and shortly after that we will bring him home to meet his cousin Devine Thief!
