A Resource for Horse Lovers
Horses, kids, ranches, trail riding, and equine equipment - all of these are of
interest to us here at Five Star Ranch. We are horse owners and horse lovers - for us, horses are a way to
bring the family together.
The Five Star Ranch site is a helpful resource for horse owners to learn more about
horses, horse care, and all aspect of getting out in the great outdoors. Horseback riding
(and even just horse owning) is a healthy and rewarding activity.
Horse Activities
We are active horse people and part of our mission is to share horse experiences with you. Something we have enjoyed in recent years is vacationing with
our horses. My comfort loving family loves to stay at horsey bed and breakfasts and guest ranches that offer private horse facilities. Most of these places adjoin great trail riding areas, so no trailering is necessary.
Horse Travel Experiences
Our horses go with us on vacation. We've found this to be a growing trend with horse lovers. We've camped out with our horses at KOAs, state park horse campgrounds and fancy horse bed and breakfasts and dude ranches. We want to share what we've learned and hear about your experiences traveling with your own horses. We set up one section on the site to share our experiences with different horse vacation ranches, horse friendly bed and breakfasts and vacation dude ranches.
Our Guest Ranch Vacation Information covers our reviews of horse friendly places
we've stayed or learned about in our travels. If you know of other great horse vacation spots, let us know at Feedback. We welcome your input.
Practical Horse Advice
We are long time horse owners who do their own daily horse care. Several of our horses have led active lives into their 30s. We've learned a lot about managing horse arthritis pain and general senior horse care. We have learned much from talking with other horse owners and vets on how to care for horses.
We know a lot of you are serious horse people. Many have professional indoor riding arenas and custom barns. Many of you are thinking of building your dream equestrian facility. We would love to hear tips and experiences you've had with your facilities.
The horse fencing you chose can have a heavy impact on your horse's health and your pocketbook.
To help you be an informed consumer we have included an article on the types of horse fencing that includes a discussion of the pros and cons of each horse fence variety.
A second article includes horse fence building tips. It includes safety considerations as well as fence design ideas.
Don't be shy, join the horse community by dropping us a note at Feedback. We look forward to hearing from you.
