An update from Orth Ranch:
They were finally able to bury the horses, days after the incident. It's unbelievable what someone has to endure for the sake of procedure. There are still no answers, so unfortunately, we don't have those to share in this update. What we can share is where things stand at the ranch right now, so you have a feel for it. Many of you have reached out to help, and we want to keep you in the loop as much as possible.
Next step for Orth Ranch, what remains of the barn will come down. It's a necessary step as the ranch begins to look ahead. Fences around the area are cleared in preparation for this. I haven’t seen the plans for the new barn yet, but maybe we can share them in a future update. If you are like me, that would be interesting.
In the meantime, Steve and his team are operating out of a temporary location and continuing to do what they do best. There are horses to ride, customers to take care of, and a program to keep moving forward; and that's exactly what they're doing.
Thank you for continuing on this road with them. If you have been looking at an auction item, today will be the last day to bid. Auction ends tonight at 7 pm CST, soft close.
