RC Aurora is now 4 1/2 months old, is as tall as the RC colt 2 weeks older than her, and is looking GREAT! Can't wait to get out to Nebraska in the spring and meet the extended family and pick her up :-)

Speaking of the RC colt 2 weeks older than her, he is the lovely boy pictured below trotting next to Aurora, meet Rushcreek Abe:
He will turn grey, and is the last colt bred on the Rushcreek Ranch before it closed it's doors. This lovely guy is available for $2,000 until April/May and then some boarding costs will be added if he stays at the Messick ranch. I am headed to Nebraska myself in late April/early May to pick up Aurora and can be talked into hauling Abe with us to a destination along the way! Please contact Brenda Messick of Messick Performance and Endurance Horses for more information on this lovely Rushcreek colt:

You can tell she had a hard time getting photos and had to keep backing away from the foals as they mobbed her. Sweet thangs!
Why did they close their doors?
ReplyDeleteI certainly don't know the full story but what I know is this: the Rushcreek Ranch is HUGE, and some/alot/all? of the cattle operations are still ongoing, but they closed the horse breeding ranch and dispersed the stock last year. Not sure if it's age/finances/etc..
