Welcome to the Diesel Ranch!
[/center] This is Kegan Diesel's house. It is three stories, including a full furnished basement. He has a bathroom on each floor, along with a private one that attaches to the master bedroom. There is also four extra spare bedrooms, along with a spacious kitchen and living room.
This is Jake and Diane Diesel's house. These are where Kegan's parents live, on the same farm as Kegan. Their house is a short distance away from Kegan's. Not too close, but not too far, just in case there is an emergency of any kind on the farm. The house has four stories, including a fully furnished attic. Many family gatherings have been held at this house. This is the first house built on the ranch land, and it has been up for decades - ever since the first Diesel bought the ranch.
The pond is located somewhere in between both of the family houses, although it's not particularly close to either one. There are a lot of trees and saplings surrounding it, to offer privacy. Ranch hands are welcome to use it if they want to. Trails also wrap around the pond.
This is where the show horses and lesson horses are stabled on this ranch. There are thirty stalls in total, and Kegan has twenty-seven of those stalls filled up. Kegan has done the training on all of these horses, whether having bought them from auctions or bred other horses to get them. He uses horses from this barn to take people on trail rides or first time lessons. There are also experienced horses in this barn, to offer up a challenge or two.
This is what the stabling looks like in the show/lesson horse barn. These stalls are well kept and the aisle is always looked after. The stalls are constantly being repaired if need be, and the barn is well looked after.
There is a wash stall in the main barn, as well as in the second barn. It is used during the whole year, and hot water is turned on for the winter months.
This round pen is used for breaking in trouble-some horses. It is located in between the first barn and the second barn.
This barn holds twenty-five stalls and is more for horses that are turned out all the time. There are only a few horses out here, but Kegan is always looking around at auctions to rescue more horses. There are pastures that back right up to the barn, so that the horses can be easily turned outside.
These are what the stalls look like in the second barn, where the horses that aren't going to be shown are held. Troubled or rescued horses are also housed here, and depending on how they behave they could be moved to the show barn (if they have potential) or they could stay here and enjoy an easy life. These stalls are also well looked after.
This is the only cattle barn on the farm. For most of the year, the cattle are turned out twenty-four seven. But during the wet and crappy months, Kegan and his cowpunchers herd the cattle into the barn. They are also in the barn during the winter, because of how the ice can be so dangerous for the cows.
There are many pastures located on this ranch. A few of them are for Kegan's riding horses, and they are a bit smaller. Then there are a few larger paddocks for just cattle, so that they can get rotated around. And there are a few more large paddocks where the horses who are in the second barn get turned out.
This is what the building looks like on the outside for the cowpunchers. Extensions have been made after this photo was taken, allowing for more cowpunchers to be hired.
These are where the hired cowpunchers live on the farm. The building is quite large, and all of the latest and modern appliances are located here. There are lots of showers, and a few bathrooms so that the men can have their privacy. The building is located rather close to both horse barns, just in case a horse gets into trouble during the night.
