In a Dec. 11, 2016 photo, Ron Gore, left, watches his horses take a drink from a ford during a "Cowboy Christmas" horse ride in Bedford, Va. On Sunday, 17 riders came to the 300-acre farm to take a trail ride, each on a rescued horse, for a “Cowboy Christmas” — a tradition Ron Gore and Gore and Kathleen Donovan have hosted for about five years now. Horses that were mistreated, misused or neglected are now in the caring hands of Gore and Kathleen Donovan, his wife, who operate the Bedford County farm on Reba Farm Lane.
