"Welcome to the Ranch"  Join us as we sit and enjoy the beauty of Northern New York.

  

"The Broken Spur Ranch", located in Theresa, New York, offers a tranquil setting for families to relax surrounded by nature, animals and fresh air.

Located on 50 acres of rolling lands, "The Broken Spur Ranch" offers the perfect setting for your family to host  weddings, outings, rides and visits to our petting zoo. The new Chapel Of The Pine offers a restful setting to remember your pets.

Conveniently located just 15 miles from Ft. Drum, "The Broken Spur Ranch" is here to help assist you and your family in getting back to nature.

You can sit in the community room and watch the animals, relax by the stream or walk the trails and view the waterfalls.

"The Broken Spur Ranch" is a work in progress with plans moving forward to add new things to enjoy.   You'll notice an eagle displayed on the page next to "The Broken Spur Ranch" sign. We have spotted two eagles flying over the ranch and are told that there are nesting eagles near the ranch.

As with any family our pets are our family. We have created a Pet Cemetery and a Chaple here at the ranch and make these services available to all our friends when the need arises.

Call or contact us by e-mail to see if "The Broken Spur Ranch" will be available to host your special event this summer. We are accepting reservations for small parties and gatherings and can reserve the Ranch for your special event. Birthday and welcome home parties for all ages welcome. The newly constructed "Chaple of the Pine" would make a special place for that small family wedding or services.

At the "Broken Spur Ranch" we have numerous small animals to delight your family. Our mission is to have animals that bring a smile to your face and a twinkle to the eye of a child. To that end we offer the "Broken Spur Ranch" for the enjoyment of all.

Please stop out and visit with the animals, they would be happy to see you.

The pictures on different pages will give you an insight into what you will find at the "Broken Spur Ranch".  A visit to the ranch would not be complete without taking a walk along the paths and catching a glimps of the magnificent falls that grace the property.  Black Creek Falls flows down a gentle slope and creates a scenic atmosphere for your visit to the ranch. The falls are visible from the Petting Zoo area and a must stop location when you reach the "overlook".

The "Broken Spur Ranch" is the dream of SSG Kevin Lippincott, who is a retired member of the US Army stationed at Ft. Drum. Kevin loves the North Country and wants to stay in this area after retirement from the Army. He loves animals and with his love of the land the dream of the "Broken Spur Ranch" began.

The name of the ranch came about with another of Kevin's hobbies. Kevin was a rodeo bull rider when he was not actively supporting his role as a soldier. Due to a run in with a bull during a rodeo Kevin was forced to retire from riding bulls, his injuries only stopped his riding but not his love of animals.

The "Broken Spur Ranch" was formed so that others could enjoy the land and animals that make up the farm.   Please take a moment and see just what makes up the "Broken Spur Ranch".

                        Kevin had to learn how to take care of the animals, they don't teach that in the Army.          Roger does most of the mowing around the ranch.

Being a retired soldier in the US Army and running the ranch sure does tire a person out.   Kevin rests with "Wraith".

We hope that you have enjoyed seeing pictures of some of the animals that call "The Broken Spur Ranch" home. Please stop out and visit with us, enjoy the scenery and animals.
