For two years March 2006 and March 2007 we stayed at the Rocking Horse Ranch with our friend Marquette Palmer, we had a great weekend trip each time. We loved the accommodations, the activities, the food, the wine and cheese parties, the line dancing with Flo. And just time to retreat to our room to rest until it was time for dinner. Your place was like home clean, smoke-free. We even appreciated the 24 hr. coffee, coco and cakes. And your staff was great. To be there with our family and friends enjoying a fun weekend, and meeting other families who are also enjoying a fun weekend is a wonderful experience. Looking forward to coming back in the future to take advantage of your upgrades. Happy 50th Anniversary.

My son Michael and I just spent yet another fantastic week at RHR. This was our 5th year in a row there and once again, made our reservations for next year already. Everyone at the Ranch, the entire Staff, is so nice and friendly. The facilities, food, horses - all top notch. We look forward to coming back every year. My Son and I enjoy the riding the most. Scott and his crew do an absolutely wonderful job with the horses. Kudos to them all for a job VERY well done !
I'm attaching a picture of my Son as he's "grown up" at RHR over the last 5 years. I used the sign in the background to gauge his height. He is 15 now. (somehow I missed a photo of him in 2005). It continues to be one of the best weeks we spend together.
Thank you for all you do and for the fine way the place is managed. It is with much appreciation that I say THANK YOU.
See you next year !!
Sincerely,
Mike D'Antonio

My family of five just completed a week long stay at the resort. I did not go into it with very high expectations and was glad to have the opportunity to do some horseback riding but really didn't expect the extraordinary experience that is offered by your resort. The wranglers did an outstanding job of guiding the enthusiastic and of gently coaxing the ignorant allowing everyone to get the most of a ride with so many divergent experience levels. My hat's off in gratitude to Billie, Deb and Gino who really made the trip for me. The rest of my family could share their favorites of water skiing for the first time, mastering the rock climbing wall, or winning a ping pong tournament, but it was the world of riding your wranglers and your outstanding operation opened up to me that will stand out in my mind for a long time to come. Thank you!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rocking Horse Ranch. The food was wonderful, accommodations great, and we especially enjoyed the many activities. Our Granddaughter was delighted to learn the art of water skiing. Special thanks to your staff for their ever present smiles... always going the "extra mile" to please everyone.

We just spent a week at the ranch and it was the most relaxing and memorable vacation we have ever been on.
The staff was great with the kids and very helpful. We spent the week there with family that has been going for over ten years.
Many places claim to be all inclusive then you discover various "hidden" activity fees. The Rocking Horse Ranch is truly all inclusive!
We've taken the kids on several vacations and this was the only one where true friendships were formed.
My daughter said "I had the time of my life there, I've made the best of friends there".
This was the first time our kids were in tears while saying goodbye to new friends on vacation.
They can't wait to return again.We will definitely be returning again next year.
Thanks for the memories.

I've been to the ranch ever since I was one and all I have to say is all compliments. I like how you can choose what to eat and that there are so many activities. I like how you got the massage and facial room for the grown-ups. The kids get a lot of activities to do and the grown-ups don't have to go with them because they have a daycare! The daycare councilors are very nice. I must say so myself because I am a kid! And when we're ready to settle down you guys have great magic shows and comedy shows for the grown-ups. The changes you made to the rooms made the ranch even better!!! Don't get me started on the horses, they are amazing!!!! All I can say is great job RHR!

Thanks so much for the wonderful weekend. Only three of our six children and their families were able to come with us this weekend, but everyone had such a good time. One grandchild even said he wanted to live there. The food was wonderful and the staff always helpful. We were looking for a place halfway between all of us and we found this on the web, so glad we did.
Thanks again for a great time.

We have been to RHR 5-6 times over the years, and it just keeps getting better and better. We were there most recently over Memorial Day weekend and it was GREAT. We were there with 2 other families ranging in age from 10-61 and there was something for everyone. Thanks for a wonderful weekend! We all had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone- from swimming pools to the banana boat to cocktail parties to fireworks, not to mention horseback riding. Everyone of ALL ages had a very good experience.
Thanks RHR!

We have been coming to Rocking Horse Ranch for eight years - this Memorial Day Weekend will be our tenth visit! We can't say enough about how much we LOVE Rocking Horse Ranch!! Your wranglers have inspired our daughter so much, that now she is considering majoring in Equine Studies in college and becoming a horse trainer! You have really encouraged her love of horses and she has been taking private lessons and won ribbons in two horse shows recently.
We love how there is always a "member of the family" on premise - and that your staff is always available to keep things in tip top shape. We have had such fun participating in the many activities, sitting by the pool, or just enjoying a cocktail on the "comfy couches" in the lobby! We've made lasting friendships and always book our next Memorial Day Weekend before we depart! We've also visited in October and enjoyed the leaves turning, and this year we had our first visit during Christmas break and our daughter had her first skiing experience! It was wonderful!!
Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories! We hope to be returning for many years to come!! See you this Memorial Day Weekend!!

We've been going to the RHR for a number of years, 3 to 4 times a year. It is a fantastic place for vacation.
The whole entire staff makes you feel like part of the family, and the wranglers are "INCREDIBLE" making your riding experience a pleasure whether or not it is your 1st time or 100th time. Scott & Lauren do an incredible job with their staff.
The entertainment is "Great", Stephanie does a wonderful job. The food is incredible and there are plenty of activities for all ages, and the grounds are beautiful. The best part of our vacation is watching the "horses" cross the road at the end of the day.
The Turk Family should be very proud of their staff, they are the reason we keep coming back to the RHR.

I have been to the Ranch two times with friends before I was married. My husband has never been there. The two times I was there I had a great time. My one friend did not want to go horseback riding and so I almost did not sign up - that would have been a mistake and I am glad I did. Do not let anyone in your crowd stop you from doing something - you will make new friends and have lots of fun!
This year we booked the ranch for vacation - it will be my 3rd time and my husband's 1st. We were hesitating about going when we checked out the price. Now we have to pay for two instead of just paying for myself and having a friend pay her own way. However, we found that once we added up the money we spent last year with our vacation to Florida (between airfare, hotel, car rental and spending money) it was a lot more expensive. When you go to Rocking Horse Ranch everything is paid for such as your room, meals and all the activities.
We are anxiously looking forward to this vacation. I have not been there in a few years and it will be great to come with a husband this time. Never think twice about a vacation like this, you will love it. There is so much going on and if you are bored you have no one to blame but yourself. Again looking forward to this summer vacation - cannot wait!!

My family has been going to the Rocking Horse Ranch for many years. All the kids (and adults) love it! In the past my sister and I have always made the trip on the last day of school. It was always a great way to
wrap up a school year and reward all that hard work. Let the kids get some air, swim, run, ride and the adults to relax by the pool with bingo!
Now all the kids are older. Heck, one's getting married this year. When asked what my twin daughters wanted to do for their 16th birthday. The answer was clear... go to the ranch with friends!!! I recommend Rocking Horse Ranch to all my co-workers and friends for a great family vacation.
So, I'll see you again...at the ranch!

We went last weekend between Feb. 22-23rd. I believe it is our 4th or 5th time (I can't remember) we have been to the ranch. Now my boys are 7 and 3 1/2. I have to tell you this is the best time we have had yet. WE LOVE ROCKING HORSE RANCH. My 7 year old went out on the trail himself and loved it. My little guy did the pony rides. Both went skiing and snow tubing ON THEIR OWN. My big guy loved the camp and the arts and crafts at night. Our only regret is being so tired after the snow tubing and bonfire that the kids and us were too tired to see the magic show. Maybe next time! The food was great and the upgraded lunch was also great. The best part is that everything is included... especially the fun. The horses are so beautiful and the scenery with the snow was well worth the trip... Thanks again for a memorable weekend. We'll be back.
