Kids Program

 

The Triple J Ranch offers an extensive Children and Teen Program. We help kids discover the wonders of nature in a safe environment. The Children's Program is available for 6-12 year olds. Special nanny rates are given to families who wish to bring younger children or babies and still want to enjoy all of the ranch activities.

Each child will have their own horse for the week to learn horsemanship skills with dedicated Kids Wranglers. Children are not required to engage in any activity, but activities are available should parents desire a little freedom to participate in more scenic and challenging rides.  Families may ride together depending on the type of ride and the child's proven ability, which is at the Wranglers discretion.  A separate ride will be taken for adults who do not wish to ride with children.  
 

Teenagers usually choose activities with other teens, with young adult staff, or with family or other adults, but are offered different choices daily. Many enjoy assisting the wranglers in daily feeding, grooming and saddling of the horses.


We can keep even the most restless little cowboy or cowgirl busy. They’ll have loads of fun and they’ll talk about it ... seemingly forever!

Fun Activities for Kids

Note from the Barker Girls

We want to invite you to our Ranch!  We love to ride, make new friends, and there are so many fun things to do! You’ll love your horse and want to take him home, but we’re pretty attached to them too! The Kid’s Wranglers will teach you all about what you are supposed to do, and let you groom and help tack your horse too. Sometimes we get kids who have done lots with horses, and that is awesome! If not, it is so fun to teach you how your horse can be your special friend. We have a great time doing rodeo games and rides in the arena, but we also like to get out on the trail where we can be “wild about nature”. You better put your chaps on and get ready to ride like the wind!

       Love, Hayley (14) and Kelsey (17)
