SHOTGUN RANCH

(This site is best viewed with a full screen-click F-11 on your keyboard)

Shotgun Ranch is a two-acre ranchette that we are privileged to share with four horses, two dogs and four cats. We are located in Arizona, 25 miles west of Phoenix, almost at the base of the White Tank Mountains.
Originally, we created this site for our friends and relatives who couldn't visit us in person.
As time goes by it continues to evolve.
Whether you are a return visitor or have just run across us in your search for Navicular Disease, Cushing's Disease, Insulin Resistance and PSSM, we will share with you what we have learned. We are not horse experts by any means, but I have had horses for over thirty years and I'd like to think I've learned a little something worth sharing.

If you're looking for a dreamcatcher made out of your horse's hair, a beautiful way to commemorate a special friend, check out Witcheylady Creations in the index below.
My own herbal blends are also available.
In this site you will find a little information, a little humor and a lot of caring.
Enjoy your visit to Shotgun Ranch.
Sincerely,
Claire

"The air of heaven
is that which blows between
a horse's ears."

Please keep in mind that our way may not prove effective for you and your horses. I believe that those of us that truly love horses are always open to new ideas that may help our equine friends. One cannot gain knowledge without an open mind. Please contact us if you have questions or suggestions, find gramatical errors, encounter links that aren't functional or just plain want to say hi! We love hearing from others who share our passion. A love of horses.

As always, be careful when you introduce something new to your horse.
