Chilcotin Ranch Property

Over 650 acres of sub-dividable land  that  produces an average of 1200 tons of hay harvest annually with room for expansion. Approximately 95% fenced and cross-fenced, this spectacular Chilcotin acreage provides multiple suitable building sites with magnificent views of the Coast Mountain Range.

This is an excellent alternative for the land/homeowner who wants to acquire an exceptional piece of land in the Chilcotin. The property is sub-dividable, as it is not in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The Kleena Kleene (Klinaklini) River flows through the property and the scenic mountainous surroundings make this estate an excellent choice for a variety of uses or development. The ranch house, built in about 1965, is very large and recently re-fit with "energy smart" windows and new flooring. Situated close to schools and on a bus route with medical clinic in nearby Tatla Lake. The mountains here are beautiful and are easily accessed by horseback, ATV or on foot. There is abundant wildlife on the property; moose, deer, caribou, cougar, black and grizzly bear. Lots of game birds and small animals like wolf, coyote and fox as well. The nearest airport is in Anahim Lake which is about an hour away and offers daily flights to Bella Coola and Vancouver. Floatplanes land at nearby Clearwater Lake and Nimpo Lake. If someone were interested there is even ample space for a landing strip right here on the property.

Please, serious inquiries only.

Negotiable Options:
~ 5 separate range units totaling 1/2 million acres ~ all new, top quality John Deere farm and ranch equipment ~ "Roll Moves" Wade Rain irrigation pump and equipment ~ transferable brand ~ transferable water license ~ one outpost cabin ~ some tack included ~ historic landmark building "the Kleena Kleene store"

Buying a Horse 101

First Time Horse Owners to Be......


Tips to buying your first horse
.
Buying your first horse or 20th can be a challenging experience! As long as horses have been in the hands of humans there has been horse traders. The term "horse trader" should just mean a person who trades horses, but most of the time if you hear that label a red flag pops up!

So why be so leery of a horse trader? Well.......if a person trades a lot of horses, he or she is bound to get stuck with unruly, misbehaved, rank horses and just as they were mislead into buying or trading this horse, they pawn the problem off on to the next horseman.

I can give you some advise and insight I have gained over the years buying and selling horses. First off, I have been in the horse business for over 30 years and have bought and sold more horses than I can remember, having said that, I can say I have been mislead and bought my share of rank horses. And not just once but several times.

If  your into horses, your going to eventually buy a misrepresented horse......it is just part of the business! The problem is, if its your first horse, it can ruin your confidence and turn your passion for horses to another hobby. Your first horse needs to be one that allows you to learn horsemanship comfortably. Being bucked off, getting kicked or bit, barn sour, or rearing are things better left to a qualified trainer. You should enjoy your new horse and look forward to your trip to the barn!

There is a saying that "Old horses teach young riders and old riders teach young horses"  That is a great statement to live by, but there are some exceptions. I have seen 3 year old horses that are perfectly bombproof, with a very willing spirit and I have seen old cantankerous horses unsuitable for green riders.

Riding lessons before purchasing a horse is always a wise idea. Either way, you need to figure out what discipline you want to ride, Trail? Show? Western? English? there are a vast array of riding styles, you need to figure out what you will use your horse for. Once you have done that, then you need to find a trainer or a more experienced horse person to evaluate some of the horses you have on your list.

When you are looking for a horse on the internet, newspaper classifieds or auctions be cautious if they say the horse is for an experienced rider, usually they are saying this for a reason. Horse traders use this term loosely if the horse is a bucker!
When evaluating a horse on a online horse classified usually they will have a temperament scale. First time horse owners need a horse with a calm, quiet disposition. Look for a horse with a quiet to bombproof  number. Its a good place to start.



When you go to look at a horse for the first time there are some things you should be cautious about......

• The horse is already saddled when you arrive.
• The horse is already sweaty as if it has been worked before you arrived. 
• The owners won't ride the horse first.
• The horses feet are in bad condition.
• The owners say "he has never done that before.

Make a check list and take it with you. Write the horses name and price on your list to compare to other horses later.

• Overall condition of the horse,   good   fair   poor
• Hooves, is the horse shod? Special shoes? condition  good   fair   poor
• Did the owners clean his hooves? Ask if you can? How was he?
• How is he to catch? Did he run from his owners? How about you? 
• Does he stand quietly tied while you talk to the owners? 
• How did he saddle, quiet  fidgety?
• Does  he bridle easily?
• How did he ride for the owners?
• How did he ride for you?
• Ask if you can see how he goes in a trailer?
• Overall did he seem calm and quiet or excited and fidgety?

Also mark down anything you can remember that may help you. Unless you know for sure you have found a great horse, be patient in buying, come back twice if you can.

Ideally, if you can take riding lessons at a stables and get to know the residents, you can usually find a descent horse that will be recommended or one you can get to know first.

All in all remember this, if you buy a horse and find he is not right for you, you can always sell him and if he unruly or rank and you were mislead, now you are stuck with the problem, you can either be honest and tell potential buyers about his problems or you can learn first hand why horse traders get their bad name and pawn your rank horse off on an unsuspecting buyer! Its always better to tell the truth and cut your loses. Sometimes lessons in horses are expensive........

Closing advise.......
Get a few lessons under your belt, learn the language of the horse. Even the best horse can become ugly in inexperienced hands. Spoiled horses can be just as dangerous as wild ones. Don't look to impress anyone one with your spirited horse, look for something bombproof, childproof! Enjoy your horse while you develop horsemanship skills. You can always move up in your experience level. You'll be so glad you started slow.

Good luck in your equine adventure....

All Natural Horse & Pet Wormer! Controls Flys, Fleas & Ticks Too!!

	We have used this at the Horseshoe Ranch for several years now with GREAT success! We use it for fly control, worming our horses, dogs and cats. We also drink it ourselves!! :) and highly recommend this to you! Diatomaceous Earth Flea Control.. Safe Diatomaceous Earth Flea Control, Tick Control, Worm Control 1 Gallon Bag...................$12.00 plus shipping Trial Size half Gallon Bag...........$6.00 plus shipping Pets: Our best friends come in all shapes and sizes. Protect them with Diatomaceous Earth. When lightly rubbed into their coats or dusted on their premises, it is very effective against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests on pet dogs, cats, and birds. It can also be used as an organic wormer and will kill any worms or parasites the pets may have. When using as a de-wormer, mix the Diatomaceous Earth into their food as follows: Large Cats - 1 teaspoon Kittens - 1/4 teaspoon Dogs 100 lbs + - 1-2  tablespoons Dogs 50 - 100lbs - 1 tablespoon Dogs Under 50 lbs - 1 teaspoon Mini dogs - 1/2 teaspoon As pets get older, they also get sore joints. With Diatomaceous Earth in their diet they will feel better.  Apply to moist kennel areas to reduce odors, dry the area, and prevent pest breeding.  Deodorizing and absorption are natural functions of DE, so add to kitty litter to absorb odors and keep the litter box drier. Veterinary naturopaths Drs. Kim Bloomer & Jeannie Thomason, hosts of the online radio show, Animal Talk Naturallyhttp://www.animaltalknaturally.com , have this to say about our Permaguard Diatomaceous Earth: "Our work is based on natural, preventive care for animals so of course we are always on the lookout for good, quality NATURAL products to help our clients and our listening audience that won't break the bank. We've long been proponents of FOOD-grade diatomaceous earth as a natural pest control for both external and internal use in animals. Earth Works Health has provided both the high quality and affordability of DE in their Permaguard product that we look for in our own personal use as well as for our clients." All livestock: Horses, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, Chickens and others will benefit from the use of Diatomaceous Earth. It is completely safe and nontoxic. Some of the benefits that have been observed:* Control of fleas and ticks Stimulates basic metabolism Converts feed better Reduces the desire to lick soil Scouring or diarrhea: when fed it seems to act as a material that draws both virus and bacteria out of the body and solidifies the stool Reduces odor and moisture in barns and stalls Better coat and hoof condition Keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population Reduces annual vet bills--Decreased Mortality In Cattle: Decreased Mastitis Dairy Cattle: Increased milk production Kills parasites without chemicals Better egg production, stronger eggs, and reduces overall animal stress Added to livestock waters, will prevent algae from growing Animal Use - Suggested Feeding and Application Rates: Animal Suggested Rate Beef Cattle 1% of total weight of dry ration 5% in grain or 1oz. per day Dairy Cattle 1% of total weight of dry ration or 1 oz. per day Calves 4 grams in morning milk per calf or 2 oz. per day in feed Chickens 5% in feed, use at full strength in dusting boxes Hogs 2% of total feed ration, dust or spray on bedding and animals Horses 5 ounces (1 cup) in daily feed ration Sheep 1% in ground grains 1 part Diatomaceous Earth to 2 parts T-M salt Goats 1% in grain,  1/2 oz per day,   up to 50% in T-M salt For large animals, DE may also be offered "free Choice" as long as dispenser is protected from the wind. Your livestock will also get the benefit of over 14 trace minerals that make up Diatomaceous Earth.
