Our Cowboy Cabin has been transformed in to a Camping Cabin and our newly

you could want. Just let your imagination be your guide! Let
us know how we can help.
Foaling Center and Cabin
The
Seventy-four Ranch Foaling Center and Cowboy Cabin are officially open and
ready for business. The Butlers and our gifted artist-carpenter Jim
Wilson have created two foaling stalls which exceed the specifications of
the University of Georgia Veterinary School and local veterinarians. Mares
have a spacious, comfortable stall for the end of their pregnancy.
Both stalls are protected and well-ventilated, and feature windows so the
mares can keep track of activity in the pasture. They can also be
turned out in our adjoining corral.
The
adjacent Cowboy Cabin is made from beams rescued from an Cowboy Cabin structure.
It features custom stonework, a wood stove, and handmade furniture including
a lovely cedar bed and saddle stand. Coleman lanterns and candlelight illuminate
the night. Open the shutters, and you are just a few feet away from
curious horses nickering for attention. The Cabin is modeled on authentic
Wyoming "line shacks," which provide shelter through the winter
for cowboys working 10 thousand acre pastures. The birthing strip
monitors will be connected to the Cabin, so owners can rest, while mares
begin their labors and be there for the beginning of a new life. It's
also perfect for vacationers, who want a rustic feel, right on the pasture.
