"Thank you so much for such a great time. We were only here for three days but it seemed like much longer. We really enjoyed all of the great activities. All the staff were so helpful and friendly, even to a couple first time horse riders! The scenery is so incredibly beautiful. We can’t wait to return for a full-week adventure someday soon! Happy Trails!" --Meara and Jeremiah: Boston, Massachusetts read more...

"This has been a dream come true! We’ve always wanted to stay in a cabin by a flowing river, looking at the mountains. What a way to celebrate forty years of marriage, husband’s birthday, and life in general. I wish everyone could experience what we have. This is God’s beauty and we feel blessed. Thanks to all the staff here. May you be blessed by sharing your ranch, I know we have." --Danny and Darla: Tennessee read more...

Page Lambert’s “Literature and Landscape of the Horse” Retreat
June 2-7, 2012
Anybody is welcome!
Go to the retreat sponsors website

A horse is an instinctive animal. Humans, too, are instinctive creatures. Our natural environment is not between four walls. Horses teach us about living in the present moment. They remind us to be engaged with the world. They understand fear. They understand courage. They “think” with their entire beings. We’ll get to know our horses from the ground. We’ll get to know our horses from their backs. We’ll ride in small groups formed by our various comfort levels. We'll ride among cows and newborn calves in mountain meadows. We’ll ride together across open grasslands and on forested mountain trails. We’ll share our favorite horse stories and explore the creative heart of writing.

Ranch Jubilee! 
July 1-7, 2012

The Vee Bar Ranch Jubilee will coincide with Laramie’s Jubilee Days. Besides the horseback riding, riding lessons, hiking, fishing, evening entertainment, campouts, and more, Laramie has its own share of festivities to offer. Local rodeos, professional bull riding, petting zoos, carnivals, street dances and more await travelers who are young at heart. The week begins on July 4th with a fireworks show in Centennial, 7 miles from the ranch. That will only be the beginning of a fun-filled vacation at the Vee Bar!



Hands-On-Horse Week
August 5-11, 2012
Anybody is welcome!

Engage yourself in this week of guest ranch festivities and become educated at the same time.  Have you ever wanted to learn more about what it takes to care for a horse?  Have you ever wanted to learn how to saddle and unsaddle your own horse?  This week is for you.  We will have plenty of hands-on opportunities for you as well as some demonstrations.  We’ll also have special groups for kids ages 6-12 when appropriate.

Along with our trail riding program, we’ll have instruction on the basics of horse care:  grooming, picking hooves, recognizing and treating small wounds, and more.  A large part of enjoying horses is understanding them.  We’ll take you into the mind of a horse so that you are aware of what your horse is thinking.  Also enjoy some demonstrations on training a horse at different levels—yearlings, 2-year-olds, trail horses, and show horses.  Take advantage of our riding lessons (private or in small groups) and learn to ride bareback. 

Along with saddle horses (those that are ridden) we’ll introduce you to our draft horse team, Sunny and Goliath.  We’ll show you the basics of harnessing and hitching up a team of horses.  If you’re lucky, we may even show you how to drive them (from the ground)!

What would a little education be without some fun?  Of course we’ll have a great time out on the trails, doing cattle work, on our mountain ride, at our campout and during the gymkhana.

The Adult-Only week is for couples, singles, men, and women. You’ll enjoy horseback riding, hiking, fishing, and other activities at the Vee Bar as well as evening entertainment and meals.
