Horse Haven at Bear Creek Gang:

Just recently, due to our unpredictably mild Winter, a few clients went there to check it out.  “Barb and Dalton are the nicest people…they clearly had the horses and rider’s safety in mind at all times.  I felt safe and had a good time…the horses are well taken care of…what fun!…” 

Horse Haven at Bear Creek will be organizing a ride with The Stillwater Gang in May. Email us and let us know you are interested in a Fun Trail Ride! Due to the NW weather we need to book in advance, but be ready to reschedule if Nature does not cooperate with the Trail Ride…

So, cowboy/girl up and git them horses ready Dalton and Barb, cuz we’re fixin’ fer a dern-good time at the Ranch!
