~Rancho Oso~

We have spent the last few days at beautiful Rancho Oso Thousand Trails Park.   It is right in the middle of the Santa Ynez Mountains.  This park has so much to offer - mini golf, tennis, 2 pools, hot tub, playground, hiking, horseback riding, animals etc........

On Saturday the park had a special show - they did some cattle herding, showed us how they train the young ponies, and showed us how they train the bulls for bull riding as well.   All SO interesting to watch.

They had this wonderful dog who herded the cattle very well.

A view of one of the cottages and rv's  with the mountains in the background.

As always we enjoyed the candy bar bingo and the family won enough treats to share around.

The pool was wonderful and the weather was incredible so we loved swimming every day.

Rancho Oso is a working ranch so there are many animals there.  When we stayed here 4 years ago we enjoyed seeing "Bob" the pig. We were surprised to see he was still there and even bigger than before.

The mountains are everywhere and the views spectacular.   We love it here!
