Black Hills Horse Adventures
Our Ranch
Where We'll Launch
Your Adventure
After living internationally and all over this great nation, we (my wife Emily and I, and our three daughters) ended up in a piece of heaven. Nestled in the central Black Hills just west of Hill City, our 20-acre ranch hosts our Airbnb guest house, horses, goats, a miniature donkey (Daisy), chickens, two dogs (Hank and Teddy – the German Shepherd and Corgi), and our honeybees. Feel free before or after the ride to stick around and visit with the other members of our family!
Our Horses
Our Family
Our horses are part of our family. Most of them have been with us for over 10 years. Most we trained ourselves and have spent years getting them to this point where we want to share them with our guests and riders.
 A Tennesse Walker, Bandit, is the smoothest horse we have! |  |  Dakota, a.k.a “Mr. Reliable,” originally from South Dakota, we brought him to California to be with us for several years. Now he’s back home. |
|---|---|---|
 Spirit: Aptly named for the horse in the movie, he certainly has spirit and is meant for our more skilled riders. |  Horse pasture. |  Harley |
 Spirit on Mickelson Trail. |  Pat riding down hill on Spirit. |  |
 |  Horses in paddock |
Meet our two new additions as of Feb 2026! Hans and Gretel, part friesian, part quarter horse. Too young to ride for a while, but they love to be petted!
