You can adapt to a small group of different people. The packages are for guests who are flexible and who are open for various adventures. They can be fully involved in the ranch and family activities, or relax on the porch and watch our horses grazing in the pasture. If you are a beginner in Western riding you can get instructions, learn how to saddle up, and get introduced to Natural Horsemanship.

When you are not riding and no other activities are taking place, enjoy our library, go for a hike, or play a board game with your fellow guests before enjoying the camaraderie of the evening campfire.
