Hello and good morning to all my fellow horse and animal lovers,

Glenn and I hope you’re not only doing well, but that you’re FABULOUS! Everything is wonderful down here with Desert Trails, in fact we’re EXPANDING! So we decided it was time to write you a quick note to tell you we’ve been up to.

We’re currently in the process of building a house and moving to another location! A total of 6.5 acres for us and our beloved animals is what awaits you and your next adventure to Mexico! There will be plenty of shade, a barn, a garden and lots of room to run and play with different activities!
Our expected move date is the first of December; the new location is just 30 minutes from port and the drive is incredibly beautiful and relaxing.
Our trail rides will now include breathtaking mountain and ocean views. Along with a cleaner, less dusty experience, you’ll also have the joy of riding in some of the most beautiful mountainside I’ve yet to experience. And of course, you’ll have complete access to our fabulous animals to love on all day long.
Glenn and I are also going to open a small B&B, in hopes that you may want to stay for a night or two, go horseback riding exploring the mountain side, take in the majestic views and enjoy a mini vacation in our new amazing location. We’ll also have a campground area to enjoy, if you’d like to take in the great outdoors, you now can!

We will be setting up and volunteering with disadvantaged children in our area. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to help those who are less fortunate than us, if this is something that interests you as well, you can now participate in this rewarding experience.

Something that Glenn and I are most thankful for is our ability to help others and that always extends to the animal world as well.
With the expansion of Desert Trails, come the expansion of our herd and the rescue of several horses that have been abused or sold for meat. These amazing animals will now be a part of our beloved family; we can hardly wait to introduce you to them!

As you can read there has been a lot going on and I feel truly blessed to finally be in the health I’m in, to fully participate in my life! You may or may not be aware, but for years I’ve suffered with chronic pain and a debilitating illness. I’ve been overweight, sick and really tired for years! But, I’m thrilled to report that I’m looking great, have the energy I did in my 20’s, I’m down 25 lbs. AND I have NO PAIN anywhere! I feel it’s a true miracle and I owe it all to an organic cleanse! How crazy wonderful is that! If you’d like more information on what I did, just drop me a line and I’d be happy to share it with you.

On a final note, our website is also getting a makeover! It will now be super easy for you to book your rides, tours, food items, get our updates and see all the new happening at Desert Trails.

Glenn and I are looking forward to seeing you soon and showing you around our new surroundings. Please, keep in touch with us on facebook, twitter and pintrest! We post lots of fabulous photos and we’ll be keeping you posted on all our happenings!

Much love to you,
Chrystal and Glenn Co-Owners of Desert Trails      

Come out and meet the baby! Karinnah finally had her little foal. A cute little baby filly. Born @ 630 pm on April 22nd. 2 days after Karinnah turned 22 years old. Aquaa is the sweetest and most voicestress little foal we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is fearless!

She got her name due to her breeding… Mom Karinnah is Arab/Appaloosa, and dad “Halo” is Quarter horse/Andalusian. Come out and meet our new little baby! What a blessing!

Karinnah is getting closer to foaling. Her stomach has dropped and is starting to take that famous v shape they get right before foaling. Her hind quarters have also dropped and is getting soft. She is eating more now the last couple days and letting the dogs know to stay away from her food.

I believe we only have a couple weeks left before her “Secret” comes out to meet the world. We cannot wait for this little one! What a blessing, my first horse I raised and trained myself. Great personality, loves children and the baby of our stallion “Halo” who has equal personality.

Cherokee is soon to have a little sister or brother. Of course secretly we’re hoping for a little girl as we had a boy from here all ready. Whatever it turns out to be it’ll be a blessing. My girl is going to be 22 next month and she’s pregnant with her 2nd child. WOW!

Cherokee has his mom’s love for children as well. Adam and his daughter when they came for a ride.out to be will be a little blessing all the same.

Expecting a baby takes a lot of work and patience. It also takes the right facilities to make sure your little one is secure and has a place to rest.

Here in Baja we don’t get much rain, but a lot of sun and sometimes that coast wind.

We decided to put up a shelter, that is very temporary as we plan on moving. It is a little smaller than we anticipated but will work for our small girl and her little one.  with a bed of shavings and a cover from the sun and wind.

Slapped together just about literally mama Karinnah seems to be happy with her new house.

We are still waiting for the little one, but all in good time. As we didn’t know she was pregnant until we saw the baby kicking, a little over a month ago now. we don’t know when she was bred. Surprise!
