We are located approximately 38 miles Northwest of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, 28 miles from Wickenburg, Arizona, and just North of US 60.
Our Ranch is situated on just over 2 acres, with the back acre dedicated to our horses. The Ranch is also home to the "New Beginnings Paso Fino Horse Rescue", which we organized after having viewed several abused and neglected Paso Finos while attending the Fiesta of the Spanish Horse in Burbank, California last May. We decided that we would start our own rescue to deal strictly with the Paso Fino breed, due mostly to the fact that we have limited room at our ranch and if we attempted to rescue all horses in need, we would soon be inundated with more horses than we could handle. We have plenty of land to handle more horses, but we are in need of more stalls, feed, shaders and other items before we can consider bringing in more rescue horses. We currently have only 9 covered stalls that are 14'x 28', a feed & tack building, two covered wash racks, 2 hitching rails, a 150'x 100' arena, and a covered hay storage area.
Presently we have eight horses on property, seven of which are Paso Finos. Our only non-Paso Fino horse is a White 1/2 Quarterhorse and 1/2 Arabian, which we acquired from a horse rescue facility in 2002. He is a 22 year old gelding that likes to act like a 4 or 5 year old stallion, and answers to the name of "Blanco". Our latest addition is an "at risk" Paso Fino gelding which we acquired from a woman in Tucson. He is a 17 year old gelding and has come to us with some medical issues which we will address as donation funds become available.
Our Paso Finos consist of 3 mares, a 17 year old gelding, a 3-year old Chestnut filly, a 19 month Buckskin filly, and a 5-1/2 month old little colt which we have named "Sonador de Dominante". You can see pictures of Sonador and our other two "youngsters" on the "Our Babies" page of our web site.
One of our goals here at Rancho de La Dama is to "spotlight" the Paso Fino breed and show the general public just how special and amazing this breed truely is. We have shown our horses in Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, and Arizona; we have participated in fun shows; we have showcased the Paso Finos at the first "Arizona Horse Festival" in Buckeye, Arizona where we afforded the public the opportunity to sign-up and "test ride" a Paso Fino; In November, 2007, we put together a 23 horse trail ride in the beautiful Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona, a ride that was such a huge success that it is now scheduled to be an annual event. This year's ride will held on October 10th thru 12th, 2008, and we will also be having our BOD meeting and Awards Banquet on the same weekend. Please go to the Great Western Paso Fino Horse Association website to find out more about the 2008 Sedona Paso Fino Trail Ride plus other activities which are being planned in and around Arizona.
You are also invited to check out our "Photos & Videos" page to view pictures of some of our past events and "teaser" videos of upcoming events. Please feel free to let me know what types of pictures and videos you would like to see posted, and I'll try my best to accomodate.
We invite you to visit and explore our site often, and hope you enjoy. --- Glenn
