Fellow equestrians insisted that we needed to spend at least a few months off the road - "wintering" . Many of them recommended Arizona and we weren't opposed since Ari has family in the Phoenix area.
I booked us at the Full Circle Ranch in Cave Creek because it was the only place I could find that boasted a pool and hot tub.
Right now the pool and hot tub are undergoing repairs on the electrical systems, but we are able to still using them. We are looking forward to having jets in the hot tub in a couple of weeks.
This is a really pretty place and we are the only ones here, other than a property manager who works during the day.
The horses have upscale paddocks with a run - meaning they can go outside and stretch their legs. We also have access to a good sized arena, so we have putting them in the arena during the day.
We have a full hook-up - water, electric and sewer, so we are pretty set.
Because we are the only ones here, we can spend our days lounging on the patio by the pool and be cozy at night in our trailer.
We plan to put the trailer in for six month service while we are here, plus I want to hire someone to build some cabinetry for me for the trailer.
I plan to keep busy updating my text books as soon as the beta software gets released.
We also hope to buy a small 2 horse trailer to use while we are here, so we can explore the local trails. There are trails off the ranch as well. For now, I am letting my horse have some time off in the hopes his cinch sore will heal.
We have ordered enough hay and other feed supplies to last us until we leave.
