We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

A sign greets you as you walk up the driveway.

 Welcome to Rolling R!

You continue up the driveway. The first thing you see is a roundpen with an extra-high fence and a roundpen with a normal fence. At the end of the driveway, you see a large barn, and a smaller one beside it. A girl comes out to meet you. "Hi, and welcome to Rolling R. I'm Dawn." She shakes your hand and offers to show you around the area. You agree. First, you go to the barn. "There are twenty stalls in this barn, the mare barn, and ten stalls in the stallion barn." she gestures towards the smaller barn opposite the mare barn. Then you go to the roundpens. "The extra-high fenced roundpen is for horses that were just brought, and the stallions. The other roundpen is for already gentled horses, or quiet ones. The training method used here is a little different from most. There are no whips anywhere near Rolling R, and we never force a horse to do something. Only positive reinforcement is used, never punishment. We start slow, just talking to the horse, grooming it, getting it used to humans. Depending on how the horse responds, it may be a couple months before we go any farther. I can do training for someone else is they don't have time, or don't have experience." As she is saying this, you are watching a horse being longed in the normal roundpen. Dawn turns to you. "Well, that's about the end of the tour. The tack room is at the end of the mare barn, and there are halters for the horses on their stalls."
