One-Week Horse Driving Experience
STARting at $600 and is currently only offered one week per month starting in May.
Experience and learn how to harness and hitch a well trained team of draft horses and ponies to a select variety of horse drawn equipment, utility carts and show carts. This will be a hands-on experience and no prior experience is needed to participate. Horse safety, grooming and care will also be covered. The driving activities will vary from day-to-day and can be tailored to the group's interests.
A mid-day break with lunch will be provided each day but we may not be able to accommodate all dietary restrictions. A country style dinner can be added for an additional cost upon request and off-site dining locations can be recommended.
What should I bring? Be prepared to dress for a variety of weather conditions. May can be cool and rainy while September may have days in the upper 80s. However, most mornings and evenings are cool. Wear appropriate footwear such as boots, or other sturdy, closed-toed shoes. For your safety, open-toed shoes are not permitted in the barn or around the horses. While we will provide a variety of items to sit on, (benches, chairs, boxes, etc) you may want to bring your own chair, as there may be long periods of time where we are standing to provide instructions, harnessing or waiting turns to drive the horses.

General FAQs
Can we bring our dogs?
Is there wi-fi or cellular service available?
Can we feed the horses?
Dogs are welcome on the Ranch. It is important that guest dogs are well behaved and socialized to people, dogs and horses. You must also be prepared to provide proof of vaccinations. You may be asked to place your animal on a leash at times and therefore should have a leash with you at all times. Dogs may not be left unattended at camp or on the premises.
We believe that your experience on the Ranch “disconnect to reconnect” will be best enjoyed without having constant connectivity through wi-fi and cellular service. Hence, it is important to know that wi-fi is not provided at this time and cellular service is limited due to the remote location of the Ranch. However, we know that there may be times that connectivity is needed and we can assist with that upon request.
We will have a variety of ways for guests to interact with the horses and ponies. Feeding treats to horses is generally discouraged, because it can create rude horses that are searching for treats instead of focusing on their job. We like to maintain a herd of horses that are respectful, kind and safe to be around.
