Horseback riding is available at the ranch,
and there are an endless number of other things to do.

You can choose between relaxing days reading on your deck, full days filled with excitement and adventure, or a little bit of both. We suggest that you bring a camera, and a pair of binoculars as the ranch is often visited by wildlife, waterfowl, and many other different types of birds!

OUR RANCH
One of the old homesteads of the South Cariboo, BC, the ranch is completely surrounded by Crown Land. This allows for endless adventure - be it by car, hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling. It has lots of trees, natural meadows, six year-round natural springs, and our own private lake.

Some of the original Gold Rush Trail wagon road, and other wagon roads, are close-at-hand to explore, one of which runs right through the ranch. The ranch is a quarter mile wide and one mile long, which is 160 acres, called a quarter section. The fences are mainly the typical log snake fences seen throughout the Cariboo. When out exploring one will often come across one of the older original "Russel Fences", the occasional "stack yard" still standing, an even an old original "cow camp" cabin!

The original Gold Rush
Trail to Barkerville!

Our closest neighbours are about five miles south, eight miles north, and forty miles west. This gives the feeling of being out in the wilderness. Although it seems private and isolated, it is only a 10 minute drive to 70 Mile House and the nearest store and gas station, or a 20 minute drive to 100 Mile House, our main business centre. We put up most of our own hay here on the ranch. It is all done in the large round bales and we welcome guests to help if they are here at the right time of year! (some guys would rather drive a tractor than ride a horse!)

Haying is normally
done in August.

Guests are welcome to
help with ranch work...

...that is if they
can reach the pedals!

Training a colt
in the round pen!

Bringing in firewood
and/or new fence logs!

Deer and moose
visit quite often!

If we have a young horse around, and guests are interested in how we do our training, then we'll be happy to give them a demonstration and/or let them work with colts themselves. Even if there isn't a young horse here at the time there's always a horse around that needs a little work. We'll also teach basic roping and
can teach just about any age...

There's always chores
to help with!

A great place for kids
...of all ages!
