Weekend Schedule
FRIDAY EVENING
SATURDAY
9:00 AM — Trail Ride Walk down to the barn where one of our wranglers will meet you and get you ready for your ride. There will be a safety and instructional period, where you will bond with your horse, then trailer out to a designated trailhead. A saddle‑bag lunch will be packed to enjoy on the trail, when the group stops for a break. After returning to the ranch, early to mid afternoon, there will be free time for you to relax in the hot tub, take a walk, read a book, take a nap, or just chill and enjoy nature.
