Ekone Ranch

Bring the whole family to Ekone for a long weekend of forest walks, ponies, rope swings, music night, and delicious meals! (You get to define “family,” and kids of all ages are most welcome but not required.)

Designed for campers who ride regularly and are ready for more challenging trails and advanced horsemanship, and are interested in building a relaxed and non-competitive relationship with one of Ekone’s amazing horses to complement your regular lessons!

A chance to deepen your connection with Ekone land, find the best secret spots, get ready for backcountry adventures, learn soooo much about the plants and animals, and get a little wild along the way.
