It has been warmer across the country this fall and the weather out at our Colorado dude ranch has been no exception. The days at our dude ranch have been in the 50’s and 60’s and absolutely beautiful! We love this warm weather but realize we also need some serious moisture, which typically comes in the form of snow this time of year. As we work in the office and prepare for next summer the thought often crosses our minds that it is so beautiful that we could have guests at the ranch and offer our dude ranch vacations right now! The horses in our dude ranch herd are sure enjoying the unseasonably warm weather too!
A couple days ago a bunch of us were out in the pasture working on fence and the irrigation. The horses were nearby checking out what we were doing and burning off a little energy. The horses were sure having fun running around and playing together. Click here to check out this short video of Poncho and Takoda playing.
Duke, our Australian Shepherd and newest addition at the ranch must have been feeling good too because he was having a great time playing with Takoda, or more accurately, being a nuisance to Takoda. Click here to check out this short video of Duke trying to get Takoda to play. I didn’t capture this in the video but after a few minutes of Duke’s pestering, Takoda would take off after Duke and chase him around the pasture. This was very entertaining and gave all of us a good laugh. Serves Duke right I guess! 
The warm weather at our Colorado dude ranch has been wonderful, but we are praying for much needed snow. Plus, Christmas is just around the corner and what is Christmas in Colorado without snow?!
Thank you for following our blog! Please leave us a comment so we know you stopped by!
Happy trails,

That is crazy that the ranch doesn’t have snow. Hopefully Colorado gets some snow soon or it will be another dry summer without the snow melt. The horses look like they are enjoying the weather though. Thanks for sharing the videos, Duke, is a pretty dog, congrats on his addition to the ranch. Hope you guys get get to have a white Christmas.
Hey Tami! Great to hear from you! We are hoping for snow too. It is much needed! The horses are LOVING the warm weather and playing with Duke!
Keep praying for snow! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Kody,
I loved the video of Pancho and Takoda. How beautiful it looks out there. I guess that it will be a tough summer though if you don’t get snow now. I just hope that it all doesn’t come at one time.
I am dreaming about another visit next fall. How can I order a copy of Bridget’s newest cook book?
I wish you all a blessed and wonderful Christmas.
Best always,

Howdy Shawnee! It is GREAT to hear from you! We had a couple really nice snows move through the mountains which will help the summer but keep praying for more. It would be awesome if you were able to make it back to the ranch next fall! It would be a ton of fun! I would be happy to mail you a cookbook. Just give us a call or send us an email with payment info and to confirm your home address. Thank you again for the message!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Tesch family of TRR!
