How It All Began

From the time I, David Sellers, was a youth in the Boy Scouts, it was a dream to have my own youth camp.

I'm an old Boy Scout from way back. Scouting gave so much to me. Teaching is a gift that also gave me a lot of satisfaction. So it was a natural combination, teaching during the school year and the youth camp, established in 1960, during the summer.

As you know, all youth camps need a nurse. The easiest solution for that was to marry one! Who says a blind date can't be fun.

For many years we operated the youth camp, taught school and raised our family. We were blessed with 3 great kids, 2 boys and a girl. They've all paid their dues working hard on the farm and with the horses.

After taking a rest from teaching, camping and horses, our little daughter was very persistent about having horses again. You fathers know how persuasive those little girls can be.   So I suggested we go to a horse auction just to see what it's like.

Never take a persuasive as well as horse crazy little girl to a horse-buying event. If you do, men, you are definitely in trouble.

That was in 1983. Our 3 children married. Unfortunately, our oldest son passed in April of 2010 and we all miss him. He gave us 4 wonderful grandchildren. Our daughter and youngest son also has given us 4 awesome grandchildren. They all provide a tremendous amount of joy. And we're still here on the farm providing barrels of fun for everyone else's little girl.

What can I say, my wife and I are chumps for those charming little girls and their energetic brothers.

In March of 2020, we lost David to cancer.  He is sorely missed.  But his family continues to serve all who want to enjoy a great time on a horse.
