Curly Creek Ranch Curly Creek Ranch raises world class Arabian/AQHA crosses sourced from the top bloodlines in the US and Spain. Curly Creek Ranch cria caballos cruzados PRÁ

Curly Creek Ranch began as a young girl who dreamt of having a horse ranch of her own. Having been raised with world class Arabian horses thanks to Soltau Kings Crest of Alamo, California, it has been a 20 year journey for that girl to find the perfect place to raise Arabians with color, crossbred with AQHA for strength, character and palomino genes. Located between Pamplona and San Sebastian in the greater Spanish Basque region amongst the foothills of the Pyranees, Curly Creek Ranch brings together a deep love and respect for horses with a vision for a more sustainable future. Not only home to Khemosabi and Eclipse bloodlines, but also a bioconstruction off-grid farm house, permaculture methods and an organic garden. Curly Creek Ranch is open to the public, on appointment, to enjoy our way of life that blends our love for animals and the environment with a deep commitment to sustainability and living gently.

Winter is coming! The temperatures have dropped, the chimney has been lit for the first time for the season, the pastures are growing, the horses are getting furry and it's time for heavier clothing. We even have our last wwoofers of the season, too. Summer is starting to feel like a distant memory, but still closer enough to feed into our planning for next year!

Do you see a pattern here? 😂 It's the end of the summer season, so canning, canning, canning. And of course improving the process with a proper pressure cooker that allows us to can meat and pisto, as well as some experiments with cowboy candy thanks to the jalapenos that are so abundant this year.

What's keeping you busy lately?

And that's how we ended about 10 days of desperately needed rain. The sun is back, the temperatures are coming back up a...

And that's how we ended about 10 days of desperately needed rain. The sun is back, the temperatures are coming back up and the pastures are very much growing, so let's see if we get some decent growth and can put the horses and cows back out in about a month or so.

Ha sido un verano duro para muchos, y nosotros también. Llevamos ocho semanas dando heno a los animales en zonas pequeñas, aumentando el impacto animal y preparando el suelo para cuándo vuelva la lluvia.

Y parece que ya viene. Mañana. Durante una semana se esperan 50mm de lluvia, suave suave, la mejor que hay, con temperaturas suficientemente altas que deben arrancar el rebrote de los pastos. Y con suerte, seguirá lloviendo.

Estamos en una zona de 1.200mm de lluvia anuales, bendecidos comparada con muchas partes de la península ibérica. Pero llevamos solo 100mm desde abril. Los colores de otoño ya empezaron en agosto, no finales de octubre, por lo seco que está todo. Muchos árboles están muriendo o ya están mu***os.

Pero nosotros nos fijamos en qué sí podemos hacer, sí podemos controlar, y eso es donde tenemos los animales y cuánto tiempo. Han estado comiendo, meando, cagando y dejando mantillo en unas zonas que pidieron un poco de amor, para poder arrancar el ciclo de minerales en cuanto vuelva la lluvia. No sabíamos cuándo pero confiábamos en qué volvería. Eso es el valor del plan de pastoreo cerrado. Inversión en el futuro.

Y ahora toca dejar los pastos a rebrotar sin la presión de los animales. Por eso hemos construido esta zona donde pueden estar sueltos en lugar de en cuadras, siguen comiendo heno que estaba calculado y planificado para esta época, y aprovecharemos sus cacas para el compost para la huerta. Sí, podríamos tenerlos en una parcela de sacrificio, pero cómo nuestros pastos cerca de casa tienen mucho pendiente, preferimos esta solución.

En cuánto ablanda el suelo en las tierras de comunales en que no hemos entrado aún, empezamos con el trabajo de vallar las y aprovecharlas este invierno. Os contaremos cómo va!

From tomatoes to pumpkins, blessings abound together with happy taste buds and full tummies!

Just some pics of ranch residents these past few days from the smallest to the biggest! Biodiversity at it's best.

Lyn is feeling quite at home after just a week! The farrier came yesterday so the horses were inside. Clearly they weren't so scary to her 😂.

Meet Lyn (short for lynx because of her floofy ears)! It appears she's in the process of adopting us, so we think we'll keep her. Diana hasn't responded too badly all things considering, and since she's 12 we've wondered if having a mouser-in-training wasn't a good idea. We just didn't know how or when. So maybe now??

Someone is in a hurry! First of many potimarron on the way this season. Seems too early to be thinking about pumpkins wh...

Someone is in a hurry! First of many potimarron on the way this season. Seems too early to be thinking about pumpkins when we're surrounded by tomatoes and cucumber but it's been a funny summer, to say the least.

Not going to lie, Xena wasn't a fan of this cow thing at first. In fact, she growled at them. But now that she sees they aren't a threat and are together with the horses, I think she's just happy to have company again. And this time mammals instead of those bloody birds 😂
