in the evening. Snow probable from October to April. It’s recommended
that you always have a hat, warm footwear, and warm clothing.
Do I need to wear boots to horseback ride?
No. All we ask is that your footwear allows you to slide your feet out

No, riding with more than one person on a horse limits the control of
the rider. However, children ages six and up usually demonstrate that
they can handle a horse for a trail ride or other activities. Children
under six can ride a horse within the safety of our corral.
What activities are available for my children?
The goal of Turpin Meadow Ranch is to develop into a family guest ranch.
There are activities planned for children when families come, but it
