The powers that be at the time decided to call the area Heritage Ranch and center the area around an equestrian theme. The equestrian set up is still there and has gone through some good times and bad times. There are many other activities in this area such as trails used for walking, cycling and skiing. The ponds have been stocked with fish.
Heritage Ranch is one of my favorite places so I decided to spend a few hours there this afternoon. I was hoping to get flower shots and some images that caught my eye. There were also cloud banks around. Who knows what you might see on the river?
I'm not a horse person but that's what caught my eye and before you know it I had a lot of horse photos.
One thing I couldn't find was a sign for the place.

Now there just happened to be a wedding to take place. The wedding party was to be driven to the altar with the fancy vehicles. The wedding and reception were to occur down in the valley. There are many excellent sites for a wedding and a barbecue was set up for the reception.

Heritage Park sounds like a wonderful place and it is good you got a chance to spend some quality time there. the horses look great and I'm sure the wedding went off well in this lovely setting.
ReplyDeleteOver the years I've spent a lot of time there.
DeleteNice place to visit, there are very different horses to see. The ones for riding and the "workers" for the carriages.
ReplyDeleteThere are more horses for them to chose from.
DeleteLove my horses. Especially like to ride in a carriage.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd ride in a carriage.
DeleteWhat an interesting place to visit.
ReplyDeleteYour horse pictures are excellent.
Thankyou. I've made many kilometers on the bike trails.
DeleteNice looking horses. Those wranglers look suspiciously like a couple of women taking a smoke break. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, they're probably 16 year olds and they lead trail rides.
DeleteThese are wonderful shots. What a nice place to visit. Looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited the horses for a long time.
