"I am impressed with the quality of care provided to the animals. It is obvious the DoubleHP folks know how to properly love and care for them. It was a joy to be able to "work" with Darci and her staff. I am looking forward to the next time."Rick Knobe

Rick Knobe from KSOO Radio came to DoubleHP Horse Shelter on April 8 to do some volunteer work for us. We put him right to work! We cleaned stalls, pens, the riding arena. We put hay out. We brushed some very hairy horses. We soaked Flicka's foot (abscess) and redid her wrap/boot. Rick might be a Radio Guy to most of us, but he is definitely a Ranch Guy too! He knew just what kind of clothes to wear and trudged through the mud many times to dump the wheelbarrow in the manure pile. He knew how to start the tractor, how to handle the bales, everything!
And when we took a little break from working, he treated me to some jerky from his Lazy RRse Buffalo Ranch. It is excellent jerky! Then, we decided to ride. Rick knew how to put the saddle on and everything! And he rode very well too. It was a wonderful day and Rick is a wonderful volunteer. He was here for almost 7 hours. And then, he returned on April 10, with his granddaughter Sara. They cleaned up the riding arena and some stalls. And then we rode. Rick and Sara are both very good riders, and I hope they will come back on a regular basis.
I forgot to take horse riding pictures. We'll get them next time! but here's a tractor riding shot that's kind of cute.
