Hello again, it’s another beautiful day here in Allenspark, Colorado. The ranch is a majestic sight with trees, snow and sunshine!

Yesterday students learned about the breed of the horses on the ranch, gender and age. Here is River; she is the biggest horse on the ranch, she is not only beautiful, but she is kind and gentle.

Today students got more in-depth with the parts of horses and how to saddle a horse.

Students even got to shovel the snow by the horses’ pens. Lucky!!!!

Here at the ranch we love to be positive and work together. Here is our words of wisdom wall.

Students can write done a quote, saying or just something from the heart, that will inspire their peers. Students learned more about character and got into positive conversations about gratitude. This was an amazing experience for all students and staff, it helped everyone realize how lucky we are to have people in our lives that love and support us.

Until next time,
LONG BEACH RMPR 2016

Hello again from the Rocky Mountain Pathways Ranch!

So, blogging again from the Pathways Ranch and the amazing staff. They have been truly amazing!

It’s been a winter wonderland.

The students have been enjoying the experiences and getting to learn about horses.

The highlight for many a student was getting to work with the horse Mystic in the coral.
Throughout the day, the students have had a great time being super active and have learned about life, themselves and maintaining a positive attitude. They have jumped in with both feet for all the games that will help them develop their “character”.

Here is a general “Shout Out”, “Yee-haw” and “Bucking Bronco” to everyone so far!

Signing off for day 2,

LONG BEACH RMPR 2016

Welcome and hello from the Rocky Mountain Pathways Ranch!

So far the journey has been a great experience and the students have been amazing!

From the time we left Long Beach to our arrival, they have been real troopers! Such an amazing spirit, even with the sickness all of us are enduring getting acclimated to the elevation and this new experience. Ms. Kim and Mr. Tony are super proud of their attitudes and how they have jumped in so willingly.

Our first night was enjoyable getting to meet new people and the staff who have taken great care of us.

The first night was a rough one with the high altitude, new beds to sleep in…and missing their “Mommies” and “Daddies”. (While they are missing you all, they are super thankful for letting them partake in this privilege)

But the next morning, the “awesome” breakfast and the views have put everyone into a positive spirit and ready to continue the journey.

So, off to our next activities, and this growing experience!

The only thing left to say…”let the games begin”!

Sincerely,

LONG BEACH RMPR 2016

Rocky Mountain Pathways Ranch would like to give a shout out to Sherpa for donating eight amazing winter jackets. Our students really enjoyed keeping warm while they played in the snow and traversed the mountain trails of Colorado. We greatly appreciate your generosity and your gift will continually keep many students warm throughout the winter seasons.
