Did you know?
That Bucking Horse neighborhood in Fort Collins was not always called Bucking Horse? The neighborhood began development during 2005 and 2006 with the condo project on the corner of Drake and Timberline, followed by the colorful, two story, single family Bungalows that were built just north and east of the condos. A local builder Bartan built single family homes along Drake Rd. After that, construction and the development of the neighborhood slowed to a standstill. Later, the development name was changed to Bucking Horse and Bellisimo Construction, a local construction company, continued the development. Jessup Farm came to fruition as a part of the neighborhood. The farm includes restaurants, ice cream shop, coffee shop, brewery and boutique. Additionally, onsite chickens provide eggs for the restaurants. The plan was to have additional farm animals and a working farm as a part of the neighborhood. This idea was later abandoned.
