Owners of Rancho
Santiago are Jim and Maria Gamble. Thanks Arthur for your love and
support and for giving us the appreciation of equines and the great out
of doors.
Why the ranch name
of Rancho Santiago? Santiago is the patron saint of Maria's home town
and the patron saint (Saint James) of her husband. Santiago is known as
the
patron saint of horsemen.

horses and mules
restores my spirit."
