Bean Jeffrey, AZ (2003)

It's raining and has been for two days now. We're all cold and wet, bailing out of our job because the river is too high. We hike down to oour van and realize the road is flooded, too. Just as we bgin to despair we hear "Get up here! We got hot food for you!" Rejoicing ensured and we were happy. Thanks, Roy and Carrol, for your hospitality, generousity and genuine kindness. You gave us food and a shelter even before we reached your house.

To Carrol and Roy, thank you for a fantastic time - the perfect place to get away from a hectic life - good horses, food, weather and most important good company. I can go home feeling like a true cowgirl (with my chaps)! Hope to come back soon.
Helen Carter (Captain Caos), England (2003)

Dear Carrol, dear Roy, thank you for a really wonderful time at your ranch. I enjoyed your warmth, cordiality and hospitality. For me it was a big honor to become a part of your family. Most of all I thank for the two nights in your guest room. Dear Carrol, thank you for improving my English and for all the wonderful meals, especially pancakes, sandwiches and barbeques, and wonderful riding days. Dear "nice old gentlemen", thank you for helping me with the horses, for a wonderful day outside trying to catch some cows and for the shooting lesson. I leave you with at least tear in my eyes, but I hope to see you both again as soon as possible.

Alex Sonntag, Germany (2003)

I can't believe it's time to go already. The week has flown!!! I've thoroughly enjoyed my week here and have loved every minute, it's just what I was looking for. I can see now why everyone keeps coming back, I'll definately be one of those people. Thanks for looking after me, I've learned loads. I've grown quite attached to Do Good, so sad to see her go!!! This has been a great introduction to horse riding and I'll be looking into where I can do it when I get home. Cheers.
Kirstin Tooley, England (2003)

Last year I fell in love with something, but I did not know what it was. When I arrived at Phoenix this year, I cried, because it was like coming home. I realized that I am totally in love with everything. The landscape, Carrol and Roy, Robbie, Deann and Chris, which took care of us. The great horses, the dogs, even when some of them smelled really bad :-). All I can say is thank you again for this amazing time. And you can be sure that we will be back. I will always keep you in my heart. You changed mu life big time, a second time. Many hugs and love from your Enkeldaughter.
Andrea, Germany (2003)

Thanks to Deann and Christopher for the fun we had. Please stay how you are, you are great kids. I like you very much. Lots of love.
Chrissi, Germany (2003)

Thank you so much, Carrol and Roy, for this unique experience! Not only for letting me take part in your life on a working cattle ranch, but much more so for sharing your family, for your kindness, generosity, wisdom and love! I immensely enjoyed my time with you, our talks, the rides, the wonderful meals,the peace and quiet, the harmony, your wonderful animals, Walter and Maria, Betty and Dick, Pete and his music and knowledge, the fun with the boys from Eastern Germany and everything else I might forget to mention - and your very special gift that I will cherish as a treasure. You will be forever cherished!
