Détails du programme
We have many different things needing to be done on the ranch and we work with you to ensure that the work you are doing, you are able to do. We are looking for volunteers that enjoy to work as a team with the others and are self motivated.
Activités et horaires
The activities change day to day, and month to month depending on the project that we are working on at the time. There is always rocks and sticks to be picked in the fields, pasture maintenance like weedwacking and mowing. Firewood to be collected. Horse paddocks to be cleaned. Fencing repairs/building. etc.
If you're interested in horses you are welcome to watch any lessons or clinics going on at the ranch. There may be some limited riding opportunity to those seriously interested and wanting to learn about western riding and horsemanship but we can't guarentee it at this time. The main focus on the ranch is training competitive Reined Cowhorses, teaching lessons and clinics. Most of the horses on the ranch are clients horses here for me personally to train and compete with, my own competition horses, and our older horses that are used for lessons, clinics and my kids horses. There is always lots of horses to groom and spend time with and lots of opportunity to observe and learn but due to limited horses that are not already booked for lessons ride time is not always possible.
