Cowboy Camp in back of the Barn Alley

Come here to meet the cowboys before your ride and get matched with a horse. 

Picture
The Cowboy Camp, also known as the ultimate "Cowboy Man Cave" contains the cowboys' ranch 'office', with comfortable, relaxed hang out couches, a rustic, open style bar and lounge area, and also the tack room and stalls.

It's where the cowboys groom and saddle the horses before the ride...And after the ride, our broke in couches make for a great spot to rest your weary boots and enjoy a beer while your horse gets unsaddled.

Saddle blankets go under western saddles on the horse to protect their back.  Our saddle blanket collection features several traditional Indian blankets.

Horse Stalls

Picture
We have 18 stalls in the barn.  Depending on the time of year, you might find some of our guest horses, young horses in training, show horses, or even sick/injured horses hanging out.  And sometimes they're waiting empty and ready for horse clinics and visiting horses!
