Vision-impaired students saddle up in Haskell By Cathy SpauldingPhoenix Staff Writer Barefoot Ranch owner Lowell Hobbs said opening his ranch for the “horse day” gave him the opportunity to share with others “what God has blessed us with.”
“We have met some pretty great people on trail rides, and we were thinking about what a neat place we’ve got,” he said. “We thought it would be neat to share with others.” The 7,500-acre ranch, located in woodsy hills where far west Muskogee County touches Wagoner County, has been a family owned and working ranch since 1932. “I couldn’t help thinking that the adults got as much out of it as the kids did, just watching the kids enjoy themselves,” Hobbs said. Janssen said this was the first time the association had hosted such an event. “It was awesome, just watching the kids’ faces ,” she said. “One of the teachers even said she had been scared of horses, but got a chance to ride.” Reach Cathy Spaulding at 918-684-2928 or Click Here to Send Email
