Now she lives three doors down from CJ's Ranch. My understanding with them, because of the history of the property always being the focal point of this corner, is that their interest is in keeping it equine as long as it can support itself and not cause the town a hardship. To that end, she's been busy repairing fences, cleaning up the facility, and improving the indoor riding ring's footing. The ranch has an outdoor ring also, as well as a field area. Hill plans to offer lessons and also have horses people can ride by the hour in the rings.
Plans are ahoof for trail rides.
Hill's turbo-charged horse Bodacious drew gasps and cheers from onlookers as rider and mount flew around the ring. Four years ago, Hill said, Bodacious could not be caught in a pen. People thought they had to strong-arm her to get her to do things, but that doesn't work. People come and bring their kids during the day and have a picnic on the bench. That sight underscores Hill's appreciation of the social role played by her four-footed charges.
