High Point winner of the day at our obstacle challenge will also receive a weekend retreat for their family and their horses at some point in the 2021 calendar year. This will give you access to our Trails on the ranch to ride your horses, fishing ,kayaking and some hog hunting if desired. Your meals will also be provided the only thing you you'll have to bring is your personal belongings and food for your horses. You would come in Friday evening and check out Sunday evening. We can do up to four people and please keep in mind this is a very sacred Ranch that heals a lot of our veterans so it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to come and stay for a weekend. I'm not sure you can put a value on the time you'll have spent with your family but I know if you had to go somewhere and take your horses to stay at a ranch for four people with meals included it would probably run about $2,500.
