We offer a 15% discount to dude ranch cowboys and cowgirls who enjoy the ranch but do not ride. Please ask for our non-rider discount when you book your family vacation reservations.
Active Military and immediate family – Year Round:
We thank you for your service with a 15% discount from regular pricing for all Active Military and your immediate families (spouse & minor children). If you have been injured in the line of service, you may call us privately about a personalized pricing.
Little Riders:
To ride outside the arena, children must be mature and large enough to safely control their horse on the trail — we look at the child’s size, coordination, and attitude on horseback. Typically children are ready to ride at about age eight. Children who are not yet ready to trail ride will ride with a wrangler in the arena. Please feel free to call us to discuss any questions you might have about your child’s readiness to ride. Safety is our first concern. We do provide helmets for our young riders.
Riding “double” is extremely dangerous, and is not practiced here.
