If you were to ask ten people what a Dude Ranch is you'd get a few different answers, but I bet a fair few answers would refer to cattle driving... and I blame Billy Crystal for that (just kidding!).
More and more people relate Dude Ranches with cattle driving and I think that has a lot to do with Hollywood but, in fact, a Dude Ranch doesn't have to have anything to do with cows. A Dude Ranch is pretty much any Ranch that offers accommodations for guests.
So yes, Dreamscape Ranch fits nicely into that definition... Guest Ranch, Horse Ranch, Dude Ranch... it's all the same kind of thing.
That's a lotta Ranch... dude! ;-)

Horse Rehabilitation News from Dreamscape Ranch
.
![]()
"Tego" is a very handsome bay gelding (and a PMU rescue horse) who came to us with a puncture wound that nicked his tendon sheath which became infected. He has been on rest and recouperation since June to allow him to heal.
A slow but steady increase in his excercise begain in mid-September, and we're happy to say that Tego has responded very well. We began with simple in-hand walking each day, then progressed to a few minutes of bare-back riding at the walk each day, and then light riding began in the beginning of August.
The photo shows Isabelle working Tego at the trot... and doesn't he look good!

Hay Shed Progress
.

Okay, it's official... despite the nice weather and blue skies we have finally admitted that summer is over. After all, it's mid-October and the temperature has been below zero the last couple of nights. Having said that, we've been taking advantage of the weather and are getting our new hay shed ready prior to any bad winter weather setting in.

So far there has only been one little set-back with the construction as we needed to bring in a truck with a crane get the trusses up high enough but, as you can see from the photo, it's looking very good and there will be room for plenty of hay to be stored safely out of the reach of any rain or snow... and that's a good thing because we just had round bales delivered!

Knut Cup 2010... Here We Come!
.
![]()
October is officially here, the NHL hockey season is underway, and excitement for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler is starting to gain momentum... so what does all of that mean?
It means it's time to start thinking about something that is really important... like Dreamscape Ranch defending our "Knut Cup Champion" title!
The "Knut Cup" is a very friendly community-based hockey tournament that is held on a nearby frozen lake each winter.
We're proud to say that Dreamscape's team of swift-skating hockey heroes brought home the Cup to the Ranch last winter where it has been proudly on display since that time. And now, we look to defend our Championship title and proudly display the esteemed "Knut Cup" for a second year in a row!
Getting Ready For a New Member On The 'Team'...
Nicole and J.P. help organize the "Knut Cup" hockey tournament each year, and we'd like to wish them ALL THE BEST as their are due to have their first baby in just a couple of weeks time!!! :)
