General Information

We have great horses, they are schooled in different aspects of ranch work and pleasure riding and will match up to your level; and challenge you if you so wish. We take single riders, especially the less confident ones, to groups of eight. We don't mix bookings, you book the time and it is yours exclusively. We prefer to ride side by side and not trail ride one behind the other, (as terrain and the skill of the participants allow).

Operating Seasons: 1 January to 30 December, Closed the month of November and for Christmas.

What to Wear...

Choose your attire carefully - this can affect your comfort!

  • Comfortable jeans are the best choice
    • PLEASE! No shorts, Capri pants or pants made of silky/nylon material please!
  • Boots with a small heel is preferred
    •  A good running shoe is better than hiking boots or fashion boots.
    • PLEASE wear socks that cover your ankles!!
  • We do a lot of bush riding so long sleeved shirts are the best
  • Women - please  consider a sport bra
  • Men - do not wear boxer shorts - you will be soary oops sorry!
  • Remember to outfit yourself with a top fitting for the season. 
  • We provide helmets – you can bring your own if you have one

How to Pay

We are making our way (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century! Check out our payment and cancellation policies here...

Other Ranch Life Anecdotes…

When visiting, please note that a working Ranch has its own environment. For everyone’s safety consider the following:

  • Please drive slowly, you never know where the next bull might come from.
  • Park in the designated area. That way we can ensure the survival of your car in case of stampeding cattle or runaway farm machinery
  • Bring your minors, but please provide a mature chaperone for their stay. Their safety and behavior is your responsibility.
  • The mother cow's protective instinct is only equaled by yours. Inherently they consider dogs their mortal "wolf like" enemy. Please keep yours in the vehicle or, after checking with us, on a leash.
  • Let us know beforehand if you have any medical problems that might require special knowledge from our trail boss.
  • There is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the privileges of being 19 or older, but never before we ride.
  • Curiosity finally killed the cat. Please allow us to show you around.
  • Remember, the only embarrassing question is the one not asked.
