Such a fun experience! Our boys loved getting to meet and work with all of the animals and we loved learning more about the ranch!

Best horse riding trip of my life! Everyone was so nice and getting to actually bond with the animal, learn how to mount, ride at different speeds, so fun! You won't be dissapointed!

My partner and I went to Bar SZ for their 28th birthday, and car camped on their beautiful property. We did the trail ride in the morning, which was lovely. We really appreciated getting to brush our own horses, saddle them, etc., rather than having it all done for us. It felt more involved and hands-on! Then I surprised my partner with the Wild Mustang experience, which was so cool! We each got to be in the round pen with a wild mustang, practicing training techniques that Michelle taught us. We'd both done a fair amount of trail riding, but this was the first time either of us got to do more hands-on skill building, which felt so useful to us, as we are interested in having horses. It was really special, and we felted more bonded and connected to the horses after having worked and communicated with them in this way. Overall, Tim and Michelle were incredibly warm, welcoming, accommodating, communicative and helpful. We had a very positive experience here :) Thank you both! (Also - we are an openly queer couple and felt very welcome here, just to say)

I loved everything about it: offline, surrounded by nature and good, hardworking people, and you can camp or glamp! We loved our surprise camping cat who hung out with us too! Thank you for sharing your incredible ranch with us. We loved our stay and would happily come back and recommend it to all!
