We were greeted by Patricia, a member of the Donec family who was extremely helpful and informative throughout the visit.

Being from a farming background we appreciated the stockmanship and care necessary to breed the cattle and horses.

Thanks to all the staff at the ranch, but especially to Patricia who is a very competent, knowledgeable tour guide and affable host....
