Roundups are open to all children and families of all ages, free of charge. Our pillars are to
MENTOR CHILDREN, STRENGTHEN FAMILIES, SHARE HOPE, INSPIRE SERVICE
We serve all children, teens, adults, and families whether they have experienced challenging circumstances or simply wish to strengthen their families through shared time and serving on the ranch.
Guests who are touched by grief, military service, foster care, adoption, medical hardships, as well as anyone who wants to reconnect, grow, laugh, learn, and serve all benefit from our Roundup experience! All are welcome who wish to come. Click here to learn more about Our Mission.
While we do not wish to turn anyone away, there are a limited number of Roundups available each month. Apply on-line and our Program Assistant will contact you with more information and to confirm your reservation. Please refer to our “FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions” page for further information.
Our activities vary, but may include cleaning stalls, grooming horses, filling troughs, weeding, and numerous other needs. All activities are weather dependent and are chosen at the discretion of the Wrangler. We typically do not cancel sessions due to weather, but will notify you of any changes. Look at our Photo Gallery to see us in action.
All programs are free of charge. If you have an interest in supporting our Guided Hope programs, please go to our donate page for more information!
We look forward to having you here!
Junior Roundups: Children and teens ages 7-17 are welcome to join us for a time to learn, serve, and have fun in the country! The only requirement is that he or she wants to come 🙂 Each guest will be paired up with a Wrangler Leader to do chores, learn about the livestock, and spend time with the horses. We require that a parent or legal guardian remain on-site. Each guest has an opportunity to come at least twice each summer season. (Waitlists are available for additional times as available.) The first Roundup for everyone (Noted on the calendar as “Session A”) includes an animal tour, chores, and horse safety/grooming. Future Roundups (Noted on the calendar as “Session B”) include chores, a review of horse safety, optional riding, and fun with our critters. New and returning guests are encouraged to sign up for both A & B, so we may spend time doing chores and reviewing horse safety together before a riding Roundup.
