Dapple Grey Round Pen Repairs
Repairs are underway at the Dapple Grey Round Pen following the recent storm damage sustained from a fallen tree.  We are taking the opportunity to not just repair the rail fencing, but also to upgrade the round pen functionality.  We are installing 6” of decomposed granite under the new sand footing to provide a firmer base than the past soil base.

Trails Still Closed to Vehicles
Trails remain closed to all vehicles due to saturation.  The sun this weekend is deceptive.  It will serve to begin drying the trails but they are still not appropriate for vehicular travel.  Vehicles causing damage may be liable for repair costs.

Presidents Day
The Nellie Gail Ranch Association Office will be closed on Monday, February 19, 2024 in observance of Presidents Day.

The Tennis & Swim Center will have normal hours 6:00am – 10:00pm.
President Day Fun FactPresidents’ Day never falls on the actual birthday of any American president. Four chief executives—George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan—were born in February, but their birthdays all come either too early or late to coincide with Presidents’ Day, which is always celebrated on the third Monday of the month. (See history.com for more Presidents’ Day information)
