Whether you come to the ranch as a novice or as an experienced rider, you will leave with more confidence and new equestrian skills. We intentionally keep our Camp groups small and limited to ages 8 through 16. We want all of our campers to leave the ranch with lots of smiles, a memorable summer, and horsemanship skills to last a lifetime.
