THE VALUE

A Discounted Family Package

For $85 per rider this package pairs a two‑hour ride with access to extra ranch activities — a straightforward, budget‑minded way to build a full afternoon of outdoor memories.

THE ROUTE

A Leisurely 1:30–3:30 Afternoon Ride

The core of the offering is a set two‑hour horse ride in the early afternoon, timed to give families a predictable window for mounting up and enjoying the saddle time together.

THE ACTIVITIES

Pondside Fun: Fishing, Boating and Frog‑Catching

Beyond the ride, the ranch setting opens to pond activities and picnic space so families can linger — fishing, canoeing or simply watching kids chase frogs — making the afternoon more than a single loop in the saddle.
