Our colt, Kona

Here are a few pics of Kona, our latest addition to the ranch.  Kona is a 2 month old colt whose mother recently passed away to colic.  The good news is that Kona is absolutely thriving with the help of his new "mom" who also recently lost her foal.  The two of them are now finding comfort in each other, as the mama is now nursing baby Kona.  He is just a real bright ray of sunshine at the ranch. :)

We love you, Kona!

Shoestring City Ranch is going to be featured on ABC's "Secret Millionaire"!  A few months ago, camera crews came to the ranch to do a documentary on non-profit organizations in the Long Beach area.  We showed them what our ranch was about, and what we're trying to accomplish in the community.  Little did we know, the host of the show was not who she said she was, and we got a big surprise at the end! The show airs  Sunday, July 8th at 8PM PST on ABC.  Hope you can watch! Watch below for a sneak peak!
