Our ranch is thrilled to offer an immersive experience where participants can earn their horse lovers badge. Here's a breakdown of the activities and requirements for the badge:

1. Horse Care Basics: Before the ride, we will cover essential aspects of horse care, including how to pick and clean a horse's feet, as well as an introduction to different saddles and bridles. Participants will gain valuable knowledge about the proper care and handling of horses.
2. Riding Instruction: Our experienced instructors will provide basic riding lessons, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and confident on their horses. Participants will learn the fundamentals of riding, including how to trot and canter.
3. Nature Tour: During the hour-long ride through the California high desert, participants will not only enjoy the thrill of riding but also have the opportunity to experience a nature tour. Our knowledgeable guides will share interesting information about the forest's flora, fauna, and natural beauty.
4. Earn Your Badge: Upon returning to the ranch, participants will have the satisfaction of earning their horse lovers badge. They will demonstrate their newly acquired knowledge by unsaddling, brushing, and washing their horses, ensuring the animals are well-cared for and ready to be put away.
5. Bring Cameras, Apples, and Carrots: Don't forget to bring your cameras to capture memorable moments during the ride and interactions with the horses. Additionally, feel free to bring along apples and carrots as treats for the horses, allowing for some extra bonding time.
This comprehensive experience will not only provide an enjoyable trail ride but also equip participants with practical skills and knowledge related to horse care and riding. It's a perfect opportunity for horse lovers of all ages to deepen their understanding and appreciation of these magnificent animals.
