Progress at “Ranchitas”

Barn Exterior  Interior of Barn 
Merriewold’s new ranch in Arroyo Grande is starting to look like home for our horses.  We have almost made it through the ‘disaster’ stage where it looked like a demolition zone.  Everything is finally coming together. The new seven stall show-barn is about three quarters of the way along.  And at the existing  mare & foal barn we added three stalls, and four all weather runs. 
 Footings
Fencing for the six pastures is almost finished and the footing and fencing for the arena are in.  The final touch that will bring everything together will be when the irrigation system is up and running and the pastures are green and growing.

Fabien completes basic training

Merriewold Fabien - Sport Morgan Show Horse Merriewold Fabien has completed 120 days basic training, ‘under saddle’.  Started by the professional trainer and horse manager at Rancho Arroyo Grande, we think that Fabien would make a great reining, endurance, and all around ranch horse – because of his energy, athletic ability and intelligence.  At three years old, he is 15 hands and growing.  For more photos see Fabien’s feature page and photo album.
