Wolf Springs Ranch is located in the Wet Mountain Valley
between the Sangre De Cristo mountain range to the west and
the Green Horn Mountains to the east in the great state of
Colorado. We are 80 miles west of Pueblo, and 20 miles south
of Westcliffe, a small town of 714 people. Our closest neighbor
is 10 miles to the south. Westcliffe has one movie theater;
no drugstore, a good hardware store and the newspaper is only
printed once a week. If it weren't for satellites we would
have no TV or cell phones. Yes, we are remote but we still
have a modern 100-stall facility with one indoor and two outdoor
arenas.

Because we are so far away from quick service we have to
function as a small city. We have eight families that live
on the ranch and 16 people who work full time. Employed are
a ranch manager, managing horse trainer, breeding manager,
a reining trainer and a ranch veterinarian along with two
more horse trainers and a full time office staff. Our program
covers western, hunter, english and reining. We raise about
30 to 40 purebred and Half-Arabian foals each year as well
as about 400 buffalo and our own hay.
The ranch sits at 8,500 feet above sea level and covers 75,000
acres (that's over 85 square miles), with mild winters and
cool summers. This gives us lots of room for horses and buffalo
and allows us to enjoy the outdoors without mosquitoes. Being
from Minnesota that's very important! Our horses grow up crossing
creeks and sharing their pastures with elk, deer, and a lot
of smaller animals.
Now you know what we call home and it is here we raise good
minded horses.
