Welcome to our beautiful 850-acre cattle and horse ranch! Trailer in and explore the picturesque land with your horses and enjoy a variety of riding activities. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, we have something for everyone. From trail riding to obstacle courses and horse camping, you'll find plenty of cowboy and cowgirl things to do. Regardless of your discipline, if you ride a horse or mule, whether you're planning a day ride with friends, an overnight camping trip with family and horses, or you're a horse trainer working multiple colts or a showman passing through for a show, a barrel racer or rodeo athlete needing a place to camp or ride outside the arena, or perhaps you're from out of state or living a nomadic lifestyle,our ranch provides everything you need for comfort and enjoyment beyond the city limits. Nothing compares to watching the sunrise or sunset while sitting in the saddle.
Our spot is ideal for a travel break, a quick day ride, or an all-day trail adventure or weekend horse vacation. We are on the outskirts of Bakersfield, California, between Poso Creek and Porterville. The drive is easy, with quick access and well-kept roads, making it simple to trailer into the ranch, no matter the size of your rig.

Yes! Extra horses are welcome for an extra fee per additional horse. However, no mares with foals or stallions are allowed.
