Magnum and fence line

Heather's colt, Magnum, up on the hill. There's a special story about Heather helping Magnum be born on a new moon night up by Uncle Francis and Aunt LaRue's. She was there, alone, with Rad's mare when she delivered the colt. He's big in this picture.

Fourth Generation Ripplinger Farm

This family farm of Grandpa Carl and Grandma Alena Ripplinger is what brought Blaine and Nikki and their two little ones, Heather and Derek, home to Bates in the winter of 1994. Many fond memories have been made on this farm. These are beautiful fall pictures Heather took.
