Activities!

All of our activities are part of a four fold program which includes Centered Horseback Riding®; Ranch Activities; Body, Mind & Spirit Well Being; and Earth Philosophy.

Centered Riding® works by teaching riders to become aware of their unconscious habits and correct them. This allows one to discover a better sense of balance and increased freedom of movement, which allows for clearer communication between the horse and rider. Centered Riding is the basis of our horseback riding instruction at the Ranch. In addition to riding instruction, the Ranch offers trail rides ranging from scenic, walking rides to fast and challenging rides. Horse grooming and saddling lessons, a draft team lesson, a rodeo, and wagon rides are also included within the horseback-riding program.

Fun ranch activities appeal to guests who want to participate in more than horseback riding. Activities such as archery, trap shooting, fly fishing, hiking, and a boat tour are offered as part of the ranch program.

The Body, Mind, & Spirit Well Being program is based on the belief that we are a trinity of Body, Mind & Spirit. In order to live in balance we need to be "mindful" on all three levels. Mindfulness teaches us to be present in the moment. By being present in our everyday life through mindful eating, breathing, exercising and stretching we attend to our Body. In connecting ourselves with the surrounding nature and our "inner nature" through visualization and meditation we learn to pay attention to our Mind & Spirit. In creating a balance between all three we enhance the quality in all areas of our everyday life. Fitness hikes, jogging, yoga, meditation and visualization, diaphragmatic breathing classes, and massage therapy are included as activities within this program.

The Earth Philosophy program opens guests to the beauty of their surroundings and ancient earth wisdom. Guests participate in guided nature walks and an interpretive hike on the "Medicine Trail" to learn about the plants and wildlife native to the Rocky Mountains. The hike includes tracking, identifying edible and medicinal plants, and discussing how ancient cultures related to their environment.

Through a Pipe and Sweat Lodge Ceremony, Hidden Creek Ranch embraces a beautiful way of celebrating ones respect for nature. The ceremony teaches love for Mother Earth and points out the many spiritual ways for connection.
