Flying Horseshoe Ranch - flyinghorseshoeranch.com
Nestled in the scenic Teanaway Valley just 90 minutes from Seattle, Flying Horseshoe Ranch is a year-round western retreat offering an authentic ranch-experience for all kinds of visitors. Visitors can enjoy cozy cabins or rustic outdoor lodging, guided horseback rides through forests and meadows, and amenities like a pool, play fields, and campfire areas. The ranch also accommodates guests who bring their own horses and hosts groups, retreats, and special events. It’s an easy, relaxing escape with authentic Western charm and wide-open spaces.
Trail Challenge (TC) – a relaxing trail ride with judged obstacles along the trail and possibly in camp. All riding disciplines are welcome.
Trails are located across the street from the ranch and up a gravel logging road with a gradual incline. At the top of the road is several trails throughout a lightly treed forest with mostly dirt and grass terrain.
