Horseshoe Canyon Ranch

This past week was our first annual Arens Family (plus Melissa) Vacation at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper, Arkansas. It was a girls only trip and we had so much fun!! It was a jam packed week with horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, zip line riding and rapelling. Other activities included target practice (I shot a rifle and a hand gun!), archery and swimming. I absolutely loved sitting on one of the porches watching the horses graze 350 acres of beautiful countryside. Being there made me even more anxious to begin our dream of having something similar (but much smaller)! I don't think any of us wanted to leave!

Me and Lopez, my horse for the week.

One of the other horses that Melissa and I loved to watch in the pastures. Isn't she beautiful!

Melissa rock climbing...she's a natural!

One of the many beautiful views!

I can't wait to go back!!
