Family News

Yes, some good old fashioned  news... 

On Nov  11, 2007, my son, Leo Cartellieri, married his long time girlfriend, Billie Jo Alvis, at her family's ranch near Auburn.  Of course it was on horseback: 4 matched  blacks that we raised, and Magic, the red pony you all love, was  led  by Billie's nephews as the ring bearer. All went well, the sun came out after  an awful night of rain, and  somehow we got the mud off the horses  and  cleaned up pretty well. Here  are some photos of the "practice '" at  Rancho  Red Rock  2  weeks before, and of the wedding.  The 2 riders in black are brother Markus, best man, and maid of honor, Jaennie.  Leo and Billie are in white. After the reception they enjoyed a week long honeymoon at a resort near Cozumel,  Mexico.  They will be at Incline Village for the winter, where Leo is Snow School Supervisor at Diamond  Peak. Hopefully we reach an agreement with Northstar, and they can be at the Stables next summer.

Congratulations!!!

  • Directions to Rancho Red Rock:
    FROM RENO:     Take Hwy. 395 North about 9.7 miles. Take Exit 78 - Red Rock Road. At the bottom of the exit ramp, turn right onto Red Rock Road. Now: This is the key to the whole thing: There is a Shell station on your left. From there to our driveway is 19.5 miles. SET YOUR ODOMOETER, and DO NOT USE MAPQUEST OR GOOGLE MAPS! You will go through neighborhoods, then fewer houses, then you will be way up high and no houses - Keep Going!! You will go down into a whole new valley. At 19 miles you will pass Dry Valey Road. At 19.5 miles Frontier Road is on the right. We are on that corner. There is a big railroad tie entrance about 50 feet back from the road. You Made It!
