A new, bigger and better horseback riding arena is in the works at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch. Our current outdoor arena, although adequate for our current horseback offerings, leaves little room for the growing list of horseback arena activities we have rolling around in our heads. Also, we’re just not very good at standing still. So onward the yellow Caterpillar rolls, its driver skilled and fixed on his goal to mold the landscape in preparation for a bigger and better arena. Your horseback riding vacation horizons are about to get a little bit bigger.
