Well, whaddya’ do?
You got this great listing of the perfect ranch but there’s not a horse
on the place. The property is vacant and
is a ghost town because the entire training program has been relocated to the
Colorado facility. Sure there are two
caretakers that live on the property, but there are five barns with a total
54-stalls and all are empty. There’s a
cattle pasture out front with a chute to the covered arena, but the cattle are
gone, too. Once upon a time this great
property was owned by AQHA and NRHA World Champion Craig Schmersal. Currently the ranch is owned by Rick Galles,
of the Galles Racing Team, a team that won 21 Indy car races along its
history. When Rick bought the property
he did a series of cutting clinics with NCHA Futurity winner Leon Harrel and
later NCHA Hall of Fame rider, David Costello.
This ranch has had numerous world class horses and trainers.

Because of the great history of this ranch there was no way
I could promote it without a single four-legged on the property. There was no way I could present it without
sharing its story. This place is a
horseman’s dream come true. A legitimate
working ranch that has everything any cutter or working cow horse owner or
trainer would want. Not to mention it’s
located in Southern California and so is centrally located to shows here in the
Southwest. With all that said, what’s an
agent to do?

Well, you create an awesome video! Inspired by this great ranch and other great listing
videos, I chose to make something really special. It’s not really a mini-mercial since it’s
longer than 30 seconds. It felt more
like making a mini-movie. Back in the
days of when I lived in Georgia, I did a lot of work on set with my good
friends at All Animal Actors International.
I also ended up doing a series of commercials as a rider for the Georgia
Lottery’s Fantasy 5. I had no idea at the time that those experiences would help
me as a listing agent today. Especially
since I had no idea I would even be doing real estate in the future! LOL.

That experience surely paid off. I wrote a script based on an inspirational
video and then broke it down into scenes.
I created blue print for the shot sequence based on getting the horses
done first as well as the logistics for the property itself. I called on some good friends, who gave me
their entire day to make this happen. It
was a huge giving of time on their part and I thank them for it immensely. I didn’t have to go very far for the voice
over as I have my very own Sam Elliott, my husband. Lucky me!!!
I found a local videographer who reeked of talent and creativity. True to form, Allen’s passion for creativity
stood out. I am so happy I found him and
can’t wait to do another production with Pure Designs.

Have a look at the video; I’m pretty proud of it.
PS. You’re not going to hurt my feelings by sharing it! The end goal here is to get this property sold to the right person, as it ain’t going to be any old Joe.
