I spent the better part of a week at Salt Creek Ranch. The owners could not be more gracious,…read morefriendly, accommodating, diligent or ...interesting. I used my stay as a work sabbatical - and the bunk house was more than comfortable - it was charming in a way appropriate for the Great Plains. I took an introductory lesson on "Centered Riding" from Carol. I have been around horses as much as most suburbanites...but what Carol taught me was remarkable. Quite frankly, I dont have the vocabulary to describe it. She taught me something that I will never forget and always use - not just with horses, but with people too. I highly recommend a stay at Salt Creek. For me it was a... substantial experience. I can not say enough good things about this place or these people.

They were amazing with both my kids. Would not hesitate to go back anytime. Amazing personality…read more Kids really learned a lot from Carol and can't wait to go back.

They brought the horses out and let the kids choose the horses. I like that because it was very interactive with them. Then they thoroughly went over instructions on how to ride & direct the horses. You can see the level of care that they have for the horses but also for the safety of the riders. I appreciated that so much. My kiddos are ready to go again! They loved it.

A horseback ranch in the middle of the city - definitely was surprised when I made a turn in the…read moremiddle of businesses and homes - and I ended up at a country ranch. Now this ranch is more than just Horseback Riding, they offer date nights, which is where you and your partner(or a few friends) take a ride around the ranch on the horses and end the night eating a candlelight dinner outside. They even attempt to cater to you when it comes to drink and/or alcohol beforehand. When we went, it was getting darker than normal, and close to pitch black by the end of the ride - they admitted they'd probably have to move the dinner nights earlier to compensate for the next date nights. Also don't rely on being able to obtain your group pictures - as we never saw ours get uploaded. But these friends who are turning this ranch, which has been passed down from family, into something new and different - are doing an amazing job. If you love horses or just being outside - and looking for a date night that is isn't your average Saturday, be sure to give Watkins Ranch a call.

I attended an event at Mission Creek Camp this past weekend and had a wonderful time! This camp is…read moreTRULY what my childhood summer camp dreams were all about - adorable rustic cabins, hiking trails, and a big, beautiful pond nestled into the woods of rural Kansas. It's about 15 minutes away from I-70, so you truly get out in nature and away from the busyness of everyday life. It was quiet and so peaceful - a perfect little retreat. FYI: There is very little cell service in the area. It's definitely a plus if you want to get away from it all, but know you might be offline for a while when you go.

I learn something new about horse care almost every time I visit my horses. Not only do my horses get top notch care, but I also don't have to haul my horses anywhere unless I want to because most local farriers and vets will travel to the facility. The camaraderie that I experience with the other horse owner's is great! The indoor arena and viewing rooms are added bonuses. The pricing is very reasonable and includes parking for my horse trailer.
