Stepping out of the carriage, you see a big sprawling ranch and house before you. Over to your left you see a wagon house. Covering one side of the building are signs that almost look like Wanted posters. On your right you spot a corral and a show ring. There are a couple ponies standing around in the corral. In the show ring the baby ponies are practicing their roping skills with their friend Baby Leafy the Calf. Just beyond the ring is a large stable. In the distance you can see the black smoke rising from a train as it travels across the prairie. Turning back to the house you see a pale purple pegasus, with long, pale rainbow hair, coming out to greet you.Hi, I'm Curly Locks and I would like to welcome you to my ranch! This is my first time owning and running my own ranch. Excuse any mess, the ranch is still
being built in some places. Please let me know what you think of it and sign the ranch's guestbook. Feel free to give me any suggestions you might have on how I might be able to improve the ranch. I hate to do this, since you just arrived, but you'll have to excuse me. The baby ponies have asked me to judge their roping contest and I don't want to let them down. Tex here is my head foreman and he said he'd be happy to show you around the place. Enjoy exploring the ranch. If any time you start to feel lost, just click on the horseshoe
. It'll bring you right back here.
Howdy ya'll, the name's Tex. As Curly Locks said, I'm the head foreman around these parts, so I know my way around here pretty well. So what would ya like to see and do?

Before you go anywhere, there are some people and ponies that Curly Locks would like to say THANK YOU to. If not for their help and donations, the ranch may not have been built.
If you would like to sit down and relax, why not visit the STUDY. You can always find a good book to curl up with there.
As long as you are quiet, you can visit the NURSERY and see all the little critters that Curly has adopted. You can even adopt one of your own.
While walking around the house, be sure to look at the PICTURES hanging on the walls.
Then there's always the STABLES where you can visit the ponies that call the Golden Horseshoe Ranch home.
Or you could visit the CORRAL and meet the ponies that feel they're ready to leave the ranch.
Maybe you'd like to check out the WANTED POSTERS. Maybe you've even seen some of these varmits around?
If you like we could go to the KITCHEN. I'm sure we could wrestle up some grub, and maybe an award or two..
If you're ready to leave the Golden Horseshoe, I'll take you down to the TRAIN STATION. From there you can catch a train to other great places in Ponyland.
