Outing Highlights
Close Encounters with Donkeys and Cows
The ride threads through working pasture where visitors routinely see the ranch’s donkeys and cows close to the trail—part of the ride’s everyday, lived-in character.
Pastures, Creeks and Tree-lined Runs
The loop travels across open pasture, dips by creeks, and moves under stands of trees, offering a varied mile-by-mile view of the ranch landscape.
A Personalized, Small-Group Ride
With only two horses on the trail at once alongside your guide, the pace is deliberately intimate, giving each rider ample time in the saddle during the roughly hour-long outing.

Mount up at the ranch and follow your guide through pastoral corridors—moving from wide, grassy fields to creekside stretches and shaded tree runs. The ride is designed to be unhurried and close to ranch life: animals, fence lines and water crossings are all part of the route, and the small group size keeps the experience personal for each rider.
