| HISTORY/HOSTS |
|---|
|
| If you haven't figured it out already, Southern Cross Ranch is, at its core, a family-owned and operated horse farm that values its animals. We have been raising quality Paint and Quarter horses for over 25 years. For more than 10 years, we have been welcoming guests to visit and share the indescribable joy of being around these magnificent creatures. Over two dozen foals are born on the ranch from March - June each year. Occasionally, guests may get a unique opportunity to see a mare giving birth. Everyone has virtually unlimited opportunities to touch, photograph, and interact with many of the foals and other horses. One of the most popular comments from guests is that our horses--especially the foals--are exceptionally gentle and docile, making for an unforgettable experience. If you are a horse lover or are simply curious about horses, you've come to the right place. You'll be able to watch horses grazing from every porch, deck, dining room, and even from the pool area. Our philosophy is simple: it can't be a horse lover's paradise if it's not a horse's paradise first. |
|
| ITINERARY |
|---|
|
| Meal serving times are 8am, 1pm, and 6pm. The relaxed riding program allows guests the unique opportunity to ride on their own if they desire, but small guided groups are always available. You'll be encouraged to groom and help tack the horses for a true hands-on and bonding experience. Whether you want to ride lazily across beautiful open pastures or trot through lush wooded trails, Southern Cross Ranch can accommodate your needs. |
