"Borgi" puppies

Time has got away at Burnt Well Guest Ranch again, what with the 2nd cattle drive (that was great) and guests before and after. Here are our eight ‘Borgi’ puppies that are for sale for $150.00. The mom is Biscuit, a full blood Border Collie, and the dad is Gravy, a registered Corgi. We usually have these puppies for sale at the World Championship Ranch Rodeo finals in Amarillo in November, but weren’t able to keep them apart this year during the earlier cycle. They are sweet little dogs! We will be going to Oklahoma City on June 9 and coming home on the 12, so can deliver any of these while en-route, Clovis, Amarillo, Oklahoma City, or anywhere in between. If interested give us a call at 575-347-2668.

View from Carlsbad Caverns



The beautiful vista from the parking lot of Carlsbad Caverns, even on a windy, hazy day. We took Steven, Isabelle (from Quebec) and Mary (from Chicago) there as a day trip and also to escape the high winds forecasted for Monday.

We hope all mothers had a happy Mother’s Day! Here are the results of a couple of young mothers living here at Burnt Well.




Biscuit, a full Border Collie, is the mother and Gravy, a registered Corgi, is the dad. We call them ‘Borgies”. They are such sweet and happy dogs. They’ll be 5 weeks old on Tuesday. This is Biscuit’s third litter of Borgi puppies and we have had very good reports from the new owners.

American Cowboy article


There is a paragraph about Burnt Well Guest Ranch in the American Cowboy June/July issue in “The Best Ranch Vacations of the West” article. It reads: Why go: In the few short years since opening in 2003, the Chesser family has built an intensely loyal clientele from all over the world. The Chesser’s literally open their home to guests--a maximum of ten at a time--with family-style meals served at their own dinner table. The relaxed conversations are always rich and intimate. The riding: Cattle drives are the specialty here. And when you saddle up to move the herd, it’s not just for show. This is a working ranch. You’ll likely get a chance to ride with other working cowboys on neighboring spreads. If you’re looking for the authentic cowboy experience, this is your place. by Mark Bedor, thanks Mark

Well, I got caught in another whirlwind and over two weeks have gone by! We had a great group for the cattle drive!! Great sports in spite of some very unfavorable circumstances out of our control! We took the puppies along, their 4 weeks old now. Here they are in their very own ‘puppy’ tent!

The weekend before the drive, the guys, Kim, Tye and Tim along with our other team members were in a ranch rodeo in Lovington. Here’s a picture of them in the grand entry. Lots going on, will hopefully add more before too much time goes by!
