Weekend Ranch Programs

Welcome to Rockin’ E Ranch with The Stables at YMCA Camp Ernst, funded by the Jacob G. Schmidlapp Foundation. The ranch is equipped with a 28 stall barn, two riding arenas, a fluctuating herd of 30+ horses, and miles of trails! All of our ranch programs are led by our CHA-trained team of knowledgeable and experienced wranglers.

Ranch Day (1 day)

Walking The Horse

This is the perfect opportunity to brush up on your skills before summer or it can be a great introduction into the Ranch Camp program. Groups will rotate between arena riding, trail riding, and ground training. Programs are one day and run from 10a.m. to 3p.m. on select weekend dates throughout the non-summer months.

HOMESCHOOLERS, GIRL SCOUTS, and other groups can schedule their own “Private” Ranch Day by calling 859-586-6181 or email: [email protected]
