WAHOO - Golden Curls Ranch welcomes two BLM Curly Mustangs

Hello All,

WAHOO and a Texas sized Yee Haw....we have just been contacted by the Bureau of Land Management in Washington, DC that our bids were accepted for two Mustang Curly Mares. The mares who we suspect are mother and daughter were rounded up near Palomino Valley, NV. We hope to pick them up in approximately two weeks. You can see pictures of them on the BLM online adoption https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/onlinegallery.php. Our sorrel filly is number 3969 and the red dun mother mare is 5824. We will keep the blog updated and post more photos as we can....

Baby Gracie

Hello All,

On a beautiful Sunday morning in February (9th) three of the most beautiful baby goats arrived at Golden Curls Ranch. A lovely, spunky girl, then a handsome hardy boy and finally a dainty, adorable sister. Mama Becca was a real trooper she kept her cool even when grandmama Angie seemed frazzled! As weeks went by the babies grew stronger and more playful. Grandmama Angie bragged that Mama Becca gave her three (not just two which is the norm) wonderful baby goats to everyone she met.

Well, life has a a way of putting you in your place. One morning while daddy Brady, uncle Brownie, aunt Christina and Mama Becca were eating breakfast the first little one named Gracie hopped out of the stall. Our dog, Lee Marvin's natural canine instincts kicked in and he attacked her. She lived 23 hours longer and gave Grandmama Angie time to say goodbye complete with tears and hugs. Gracie is buried in our Rainbow Bridge by a huge Cedar tree. Lessons were taught and hopefully learned in this brief encounter with Gracie. First, you cannot control or change an animal's natural instincts. Respect them for who they are and what they were born to be. Secondly, you dont have to be on earth for a long time to touch someone so deeply. Finally, we will also remember Gracie and because of this unfortunate event we will cherish Denny and Dee all the more.

We are lucky to have this special Stallion at Golden Curls Ranch

Hello All,

Chester and I are spending more time in the saddle together. He is a five year old Stallion which means he thinks he knows best! But, having had several men (three wonderful sons) in my life who felt the same I've learn to use patience and respect and he soon agrees I have his best interest in mind. He is a sweet, sincere, soul with a beautiful spirit. How lucky I am to have this special stallion at my ranch.

Chester is a wonderful and handsome Curly Stallion

Here is a photo of Chester's mane I snapped while sitting in the saddle...wish i had those curls!
Hugs,
Angie
