Since the 2018 Campfire, Kastlerock Ranch has been closed. We have been helping the Paradise Community during the aftermath of the fire by allowing Friends United in Rescue to house the cats they rescued at Kastlerock Ranch after the fire and helped Friends United in Rescue reunite the cats with their previous owners.
During the time when the clean-up began, and which has taken many years to accomplish, we had one idea in mind. That was to bring Kastlerock Ranch back to the Paradise Community. The Kastlerock Ranch facilities are being upgraded with Powder River Livestock Equipment as of this date, April 2023.
We invite you to explore this site and the site of our sponsor.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO SOON. Site is being updated daily.
Our programs can offer your child, entire family, or yourself a fun recreation that teaches the skill of riding and horsemanship. Being involved in horses is unlike any other activity or sport. Horses are not only fun, they are mindful teachers. Participants are teamed with an animal which they learn to understand and respect. When entering the world of horses, the trials and tribulations of the world disappear, and is replaced with a satisfaction of accomplishment. Tom and Bill Dorrence "The Fathers of Natural Horsemanship" have a major influence in the design of our horsemanship programs.Their influence can be seen today with people like Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman.
Kastlerock Ranch incorporates aspects of EAL and EFL methods into the horsemanship programs of for a more rounded lifestyle. Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is an effective approach to human and leadership development in which horses play a key educational role. Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is experiential, which means that participants learn by doing and that the horse is the facilitator; a living breathing being who helps to direct the session, rather than simply an object.
