The Faces of VDR — Part 02 🐴

Four more familiar faces, four very different personalities.

From Mindy, who’s always ready for the next ride, to Rose, who prefers to take things a little slower. Then there’s Jewels, who’s taught more people to ride than we can count, and Ginger, who’s enjoying a quieter chapter after her barrel racing days.

They all have their little quirks, and that’s exactly why we love them.

Have you ridden any of these girls? We’d love to hear who you met!

Looking for something a little different to do in Ontario?

How about exploring forest trails on horseback, trying your hand at roping, working cattle, or spending a few quiet days by the lake?

And no, you don’t need to be a cowboy. You don’t even need to know how to ride.

There’s a lot more to discover at Von Doeler’s Ranch than you might expect.

👉So, what would you try first?

Save this for your next Ontario adventure, and follow along for more life at the ranch.

Same ranch. Very different personalities.

Meet the boys behind the adventures at VDR: the handsome one, the quiet one, the sweetheart, the young talent, and the one who makes his own rules.

Each has his own quirks, favourite things, and special way of making every trail ride memorable.

Some of you may already know them—but who would you choose to take on a trail? We’d love to hear your pick in the comments!

🍂 A Cowboy’s Thanksgiving

For horses that carry us and trails that we roam,
For wide-open skies and a ranch we call home.
For courage and kindness, for work done with pride,
For promises kept and good friends by our side.

We ride for the brand, through sunshine and rain,
And give thanks for the moments that money can’t gain.
Here’s to the horses, the land, and the crew,
Happy Thanksgiving from our ranch family to you! 🤎
