We have been at "The Buckle" for almost a year and the progress my daughter has made has been fantastic. We are very happy with the lesson program, the clinics, and the access to start showing.
Had a great play day here! They kept the contestants moving! Great games ! Very fairly priced. And everyone was very nice!!
The website is much more managable to see when events are! Love the 4H!
I love this place. I literally close the property gate behind me and exhale! A non-profit organization with a mission 'to empower hope and positively impact lives through equine assisted activities.' Their lessons and programs focus on youth. Your child would be lucky to be involved in their 4-H program, beginning interaction 'Rising Stars' program, or lessons with amazing instructors. Our children need more of this environment!
Excelente lugar
Peppermint & Ponies is always fun at the ranch
THIEFS I only give 1 star because i can't give 0
Wonderful barn, friendly atmosphere, and they take such great care of their horses!
Our first time visiting and was able to experience the Peppermint and Ponies events! The staff is amazing super understanding and works very well with children of all ages. My son is 3 years old so he’s learning all things including patience and sharing! The staff was very compassionate with his meltdowns (he had 2 he wanted Santa’s time)! They showed him basic interaction with the horses and goats! They had a perfect set up for crafts and made the mood great with music and Santa willing to interact with the kids! Highly recommend! Definitely visiting the ranch again for other events!
Great staff
