Curry Ranch

Trail

Each photo will open in its own window, simply close the window to return.

At Curry Ranch, the basic orientation, training and conditioning of all the horses is on the trail.  For that purpose, Curry Ranch borders on BLM land on one side, while a cross country trail intersects on the other side. Curry Ranch is proud to be breeding strong, performance, gait horses that can perform all day on the trail with its challenges, and still be competitive at shows.

Especial CR doing what Peruvian Paso Horses
were meant to do .....

Look!!      Especial is "surfing."   This photo shows this magnificent horse in a four beat gait displacing water, and at such speed!  It is hard to realize the strength necessary for such a feat.  And, that photo of Especial in the river with David Pool standing on the saddle and waving his hat.  How many horses of any breed, particularly breeding stallions, are that steady in behavior? And this was not practiced! David just trusted the horse enough to do it impromptu. 

National Trail Days Celebrations

This event is sponsored by the Klamath Rails-to-Trails Group, who want to introduce the public to the beauty of the OC&E Woods Line State Trail.  This trail is the old rail bed of that Railroad.  The tracks have been removed and it is a dedicated trail for hikers, cyclists and horses (no motor vehicles allowed).  It starts in Klamath Falls and travels right next to Curry Ranch, continuing to Sprague River and on to Bly with a "spur" trail veering off at Beatty for Sycan Marsh.  Altogether, the trail is about 100 miles in length.
