This Williamsburg-style home with a 3-stall horse barn is set on forty pristine acres on the outskirts of Muskogee within an hour’s drive of downtown Tulsa, in northeast Oklahoma. To see an interactive map of this property, click here. When the owners were designing this home they were living in Virginia and going to school. They fell in love with the home styles found in colonial Williamsburg. They visited Williamsburg over the course of several years making notes about what they liked and desired to replicate in their own home, and so they took careful measurements of architectural details in order to be accurate in their design specifications. They hired an architect to draw up plans and then in 1986 they completed their colonial Williamsburg-style dream home on forty acres in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The result was exquisite: a country estate unrivaled anywhere in the state of Oklahoma. The home is authentic in its representation of the Williamsburg architectural style. Williamsburg-style center-hall colonial home with symmetrical dormer windows, a dentil cornice, transom over door, and raised panel shutters frame double-hung windows with twelve over twelve divided lights. Parterre kitchen garden surrounded by picket fence with tulip-topped pales is visible from the box window of the keeping room. Three-stall horse barn with cupola, transom windows, and porch off the tack room. For more detailed information and photos of beautiful Williamsburg-style home, click here. This fabulous country estate is located on the Tulsa side of Muskogee, with easy access to the Muskogee Turnpike and Highway 69 which run between Interstate 44 and Interstate 40. It’s only a four-hour drive to Dallas, Texas. So if you are looking for a quiet country estate centrally located in the mid-continent area, with a climate that allows you to ride your horses all year round, then move your family and your horse business to Oklahoma.

Tracy LeGrand shared this picture of her two Cleveland Bays prancing around in the snow at their new home in Skiatook, Oklahoma. Here is Penrose Buttercup:
Here is Penrose Cleopatra:
According to their owner, Tracy LeGrand these mares played in the snow most of the day. These two Cleveland Bay sisters were born in Swansea, Wales (UK) and when they arrived in the USA their hair was about 4 inches long. So they seem to come alive in the snow! Cleveland Bays are considered a heritage breed of horses. They are so rare, in fact, that the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (the ALBC) has put them on their critical list of endangered horse breeds. According to the Cleveland Bay Horse Society, the Cleveland Bay is England’s oldest horse breed, with a history that goes back further than when records started being kept. For more information about this breed, contact the Cleveland Bay Horse Society of North America. _____________________________________________________________________ Are you looking for a farm or ranch property Skiatook 74070?

Where does Tulsa’s water come from?The Spavinaw Water Project provides water to Tulsa, Oklahoma. An Anecdote about Tulsa’s water in the Early DaysWhen I first moved to Tulsa in 1984, I visited my parents in Houston, Texas. My Uncle Jimmy (James G. McMurty, Jr.) came over for dinner while I was there and we got to talking. He said, “I lived in Tulsa when I was a kid.” I said, “Oh, really? What was it like?” (I had totally forgotten that his father had been one of the early presidents of the University of Tulsa .) He said, “The water tastes bad… at least it did then.” I said, “When was that?” He said, “1912.” I hadn’t thought about water tasting bad in a long time. As a child I was a real critic of the way water tasted. I remember as a kid living in Brewster, NY how much my sister Meredith and I loved to come home and drink Brewster water. My parents had an artesian well at our house and the taste was really good. There were a lot of iron mines around our village, and I don’t know if that had anything to do with how good the water tasted or not. It was wonderful. We hated drinking water anywhere else. In 1984 I really hadn’t thought about water quality or the flavor of Tulsa’s water. In my brain the water in Tulsa in 1984 tasted pretty good — for city water. Tulsa’s Water Quality in 2014The quality of Tulsa’s water has significantly improved in the past 100 years. Here is a link to Tulsa’s Annual Water Quality Report — 2014. The Creation and Expansion of the Spavinaw Water SystemJohn Durkee and Debbie Solano in front of the dam at Lake Spavinaw. So, where does Tulsa’s water come from? Tulsa’s water is piped in from the northeast from Spavinaw Lake and Lake Euchee. The Spavinaw Water Project began in 1920 as the result of a search for a source of good quality fresh water for the City of Tulsa. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (as the article stands today, July 2, 2014):

Why Do You Need Flood Insurance?According to Edward L. Connor, Deputy Administrator, Insurance, for the Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, “Floods can bring, mud trash and, if you don’t have flood insurance, debt.” If your home floods, you will incur debt to recover after a devastating flood. Many people do not have enough in their savings accounts to pay the costs of recovering from a flood. According to FEMA, “Over the past five years, the average paid claim for flood damage was $33,790.” Your Mortgage Lender May Require You to Get Flood Insurance if Your Home is in the 100-Year Flood PlainIn order to pay for all the claims, FEMA has conveniently almost tripled the width of the flood plain, so that if you didn’t think you needed flood insurance in years gone by, you will be convinced by your mortgage lender that you need flood insurance now. So rather than making the choice to get flood insurance, the federal government, along with the insurance industry has made it easy to decide. Flood insurance may be mandatory when a structure is in the flood plain.
In short, if you have a mortgage loan and are now in a flood plain, you must carry flood insurance or your mortgage note is immediately due and payable. No kidding! Even if you have lived in your home for sixty years and it has never flooded, you may have to carry flood insurance if you have a mortgage. Your premium payments will help the federal government assist others who actually do get flooded out from time to time or once in a blue moon. By purchasing flood insurance, you are not only protecting the home you love from the remote possibility of being devastated by a few inches of floodwater, but you are helping your neighbors in New York, New Jersey, Iowa, and Louisiana. By purchasing flood insurance, you are being a good citizen as well as protecting your savings account from potential catastrophic losses. You No Longer Have the Choice if You are In a High Risk AreaSo even if you live on the edge of a high risk area, where you only have a one in four chance of flooding during the course of a 30-year mortgage, you no longer have the choice. You have to get flood insurance. Admittedly, without flood insurance, recovery costs must come out of your own pocket. Why save for the eventuality when you can purchase insurance for much more money and never have to worry about managing your own savings. Just wait and see if you experience a flood and wait for FEMA to help you out. That’s why you need flood insurance. Don’t you feel so much more secure in knowing that the federal government can better handle your money than you can? Just trust the National Flood Insurance Program. If you don’t believe me and want to learn more about flood risk and flood insurance, go to Floodsmart.gov/highrisknow.

This looks like fun! The new Cowboy Dressage Challenge Tests seem to add some new activities to the basic dressage tests. The dressage arena certainly looks a bit different. Does anyone know if this equestrian activity is being done anywhere in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma? Maybe in Claremore or Skiatook or Bixby? Please make a comment and let us know! Do you even know what dressage is? When I was doing it my friends who came to dressage from riding in a Western saddle seemed to “get it” much more quickly than those of us who had come from a fox hunting or hunter-jumper backgound. That’s because cowboys ride more upright, centered over the horse’s center of gravity when riding “on the flat.” A jumping saddle pitches you a bit more forward so that you can be in a better position going over fences. Are you looking for a farm or ranch with a dressage arena? Or do you just want a roping arena? Or perhaps you need a cutting pen?

I confess that there are few times I really want to watch TV:
That’s it! End of Story! The truth is that I am a TV addict. If I had cable television I would never get anything done. I’d be glued to the tube all day long — just like I am glued to my computer screen. So now that I am divorced and there is nobody telling me I cannot watch my favorite events on television (because they are too “boring!” — Hah! Don’t get me started….), I now really want to find a sports bar somewhere and watch the Olympic Equestrian Events on TV. Even if I did find a sports bar somewhere I’d be forced to watch track and field events, basketball, soccer, or anything other than what I want to see. So last night I was pleased to discover that the Admin at Barnmice had posted her favorite links to the London 2012 Equestrian Events. I can follow the links and at least drool over the still pictures and occasional video feeds. All the fun started yesterday with Eventing. It will finish up on August 9th with Dressage Grand Prix Freestyle to Music — my absolute favorite event. One of my goals in life is to participate in just such an event. It may take me a long time, but by golly I’m going to get there… once I get off my touchie, get away from the computer and start riding again. Enough said… Here are the best links to the London 2012 Olympics Equestrian Events:
The best way to watch the Equestrian Events is to log into YouTube and google London 2012 Equestrian Events followed by the event or rider you want to watch and you’ll find lots to watch. I’ll post my faves on Twitter as I find good videos too. Follow me @dsolano.
