Wrangler Paige

Paige started riding 20 years ago in Ashland, OR. She mucked stalls in exchange for lessons when she was only 8 and stills scoops poop today….and loving it. She has been wrangling at Black Mountain Ranch for three seasons. Her favorite activities at Black Mountain are fly fishing in the lakes above the ranch and going on long rides requiring trailer pick up. If she was a BMR horse she’d be Sweetpea, always friendly, curious, and hungry. Paige is accompanied everywhere by her ...

The Early Settlers

In 1881, most of the Ute Indian land in our area was open to homesteading.

Every night we send them from the corral to the fields for dinner and room to move. You will be hard pressed to find a staff member that misses it. It is an amazingly beautiful thing seeing 70 stampeding horses run by you. Although there is plenty of food for them in the field, the group dynamics of the ...

The Ute Indians of the Colorado River Valley

Many BMR guests are curious about the history of the local Indians, so today's "Fun Facts & History" gives a brief look at the Ute Indians that inhabited our area. Most of this information comes from "Early McCoy" and a few other out-of-print books. The word Ute means "high land" or "land of the sun" and the Ute nation at one time encompassed around two-thirds of Colorado. In 1876, when Colorado became the 38th state, most of the Western Slope was still unexplored territory occupied ...
