"Tucson"
is a 19 yr. old Quarter Horse who moved here to
Royal Oaks in 1995. He was born in Carmel
Valley, and began his career in a dressage
barn. Once here, he took up reining, but now
enjoys retirement, and will live out his life
relaxing in his cozy stall, and long, sunny days
in turnout. He and owner Lisa Erickson have
seen many changes to the ranch and have tried to
provide us with useful history and information.
Lisa is a housewife and retired Veterinary
Technician and is the barn's Cat Lady, looking
after the five barn cats and any baby birds that
fling themselves from nests prematurely every
year. She will be posting signs about the birds
soon, with info. and contact numbers for the
SPCA Wildlife Center. Lisa also does late
night walk-throughs and can be seen doing useful
things on any given day at the ranch. We
are so grateful to have them both here at
R.O.A.R.S.
