Rockin' Horse Ranch

We are generous and easy-going and provide mostly organic food. We have 4 horses, 40 chickens, 2 dogs and 3 cats, and a big comfortable house with beautiful views. Our property backs to the US Forest Service so there are endless trails to ride the horses or hike. There are rivers, lakes and a ski hill nearby (Lost Trail Powder Mountain). During the warmer months, there are fun rodeos in the town of Darby and other events and fun things to do, We prefer to host intermediate to advanced horse people and/or people with handyman and gardening skills.

My husband Jim and I treat our volunteers like family. We need at least one volunteer to help out at all times of the year (but we usually have at least 2-3 at a time). You will have your own private bedroom and two of the bedrooms have a television in them. There is a great room with a large screen TV as well where the volunteers hang out. We allow volunteers with a driver's license to use our car for short excursions, like to the lake, river, and town of Darby. Experienced volunteers can ride as much as the horses can tolerate, although we only give credit for 1 hour a day of riding/working with the horses unless you are a qualified horse trainer and there is a special training project. As soon as the dates are confirmed, I send the volunteers a more detailed/full description of the volunteer program.
