Nine individual cabins snuggled beside the creek offer lodging for families. The 700-acre Drowsy Water Ranch welcomes children of all ages, even infants. The children’s program is unstructured, but comprehensive. Children ages 5 and under in the Buckaroos program are led on smaller horses in a pen. For children ages 6 to 13 in the Range Riders program, rides are held twice a day. The kids are allowed to walk, lope and trot according to trail conditions and their comfort level on the horses.

The association has 100-plus ranch members west of the Mississippi. “You’re there with no more than 200 people. It’s a place to connect and reconnect,” she says. “It gives you time to eat and play as a family.” Traditional ranches accommodate about 45-50 people. Trail rides and horses are the main focus.
