Ponytail Ranch

We offer comprehensive insight into the world of horses. Come learn, play and meet your new four legged friend. To see your reflection in the eye of a horse is a magical moment - young and old alike will leave standing tall and proud - that is what horses do for you.

We can work with you and your horse (on or off-site) or you can learn with one of ours - we have a horse to fit every need.

We specialize in the "soft approach" - only apply as much pressure as needed to get the correct response. Horse and rider must work and learn as one.

Please feel free to contact us for a no obligation meeting with our instructors, tour of the facilities and introduction to your "new best friends". We offer this "orientation" visit so you can come and see what we have to offer - if it's not what you had in mind then there is no pressure to sign up, we only want the perfect fit between rider, horse and instructor. Come on out - the worst thing that can happen is you make a few new friends.

We provide a "student handbook" to all new prospective students on their orientation visit - please feel free to click on the links below for excerpts from our handbook to better understand what we do:

We don't really teach "Western" or "English" in our programs (though we have tack for both to learn on) - What we teach is HORSEMANSHIP.

Looking for that special place to care for your horse??? Well, you've found it. Even though this is a business, we are not in the business of simply "warehousing" horses. We truly care about every animal that has passed through this facility and are dedicated to giving each horse the special attention that they need.

Passing thru town and need a safe place to keep your horses, trailer and equipment over night? Give us a call - We will take the worry away and take excellent care of your every need.

$45.00 Per night (1 to 2 horses) - Includes 2 meals of bermuda grass hay (alfalfa can be fed with advance notice - supplements must be provided by owner) - pasture turnout and grooming as needed.

Going away for the weekend and need someone you can trust to look after your horses, donkeys, mules, goats, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese or whatever farm animal you have? We can help. We offer two-a-day feedings (as required), one-a-day stall cleaning, injury check, TPR, grooming and turnout. We are available 24 hours a day to respond to any pet emergency. Please call for an estimate - pricing is based on location, number of animals, length of service, care requirements, etc.

Don't have the time for all the chores? We can help. We offer off-site help with all your ranch needs: grooming, stall cleaning, exercise, training, feeding, property maintenance. Short term or long term.
