                Posted - Jul 28 2011 : 8:35:28 PM I'm hoping the sisterhood can help me come up with some ideas for a name for our ranch.  We live in upstate New York.  Our property is 34 acres.  We have horses, several of which were rescued. On our property, we have a huge hill, running creeks, a waterfall, open pastures, lots of slate rock, large maple trees, willow trees and wooded acres.  We have 7 horses, and 6 of them were rescues.  We are looking to continue our rescue work with the horses, do boarding and trail rides.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

                Posted - Aug 02 2011 : 8:59:55 PM :)  giggles are good.
  When I'm brainstorming for ideas, I like to write them down on paper, in list form and tack it up on the fridge and then just let it all sink in for a few days... almost forgetting about it on the back burner - then that's when "the sign"  or  "inner knowing" pops up and inside you'll just *know* you've got the right one.

  my first thought was Second Chance Ranch with the rescue animals, but then it could also be Patch O Paradise Farm.  Have fun with it!

  The only thing that popped into my head was obviously a reflection of the kind of day I had...
  To Hell & Back Horse Farm
  haha, geez.... Sadie
  p.s.  keep in mind, sometimes ridiculous suggestions help spotlight the keepers :)

                Posted - Jul 30 2011 : 11:20:56 AM I love clean slate ranch!! Heck, I think is buy a property just because it had that name! It's full of potential, and just sounds like a new start!

                Posted - Jul 29 2011 : 10:04:12 PM Thanks for your ideas. We are throwing around lots of different names and trying to narrow them down.  I kind of like the Clean Slate Ranch one.

                Posted - Jul 29 2011 : 8:48:13 PM How about "Clean Slate Ranch", Or "Open Slate Ranch".  All the rescued animals as well as the others have a clean slate to begin again.  Thanks for sharing. Marly

                Posted - Jul 28 2011 : 9:02:10 PM "Fiddler's Green" (Farm? Ranch?) Fiddler's Green is the "heaven" that many Irish sailors hoped to go to when they died at sea. A place of green rolling hills, meadows, gentle trees, etc. Your rescues that have had a hard life probably think they have died and gone to heaven when they hit your place!   "Still Waters" conjures a psalm-like image and could work. Anything that is a reference to a feature that sticks out, or a story you want to tell makes a good name.
