If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with horses and beautiful scenery surrounded by nature you have found the right place.
Be sure to arrive before sunset so you can enjoy watching horses graze as the sun sets over the Mississippi river.
Stay in our comfortable vacation units and enjoy our horses and other critters, beautiful scenery, bicycling, hiking, kayaking and more.
We do NOT provide trail rides unless you lease a horse. If you want to ride our horses free rein, as shown here, please ask about leasing and/or lessons.
If you are an animal lover this is a place you will feel comfortable.
We have seven beautiful horses. Two of them can become unicorns. Our herd has been together for over 10 years so they all know their place and they are all very comfortable here.
We don't do trail rides. We provide a petting zoo including 7 Horses, a mini Pig, 2 Goats, 3 Dogs, 2 chickens, 5 Guinea pigs, and a turtle. Our pastures overlook the Mississippi river. We can dress up our horses as unicorns, if you ask in advance, for a magical experience for your kids. Our buckskin looks just like the animated movie star horse "Spirit."
We lead the horse, one at a time. We start slow and we end slow. Safety is our first priority, followed closely by our second priority, fun. Slow, controlled, and safe fun.
Our miniature pig, Ferkelchen, was born on 8/7/20 and is expected to grow to about 50 lbs.

Floyd Wesley Burton, my dad, helped on his father, James Wesley Burton's, 21 section ranch, 3 miles north of Vaughn New Mexico. There are 640 acres in a section, so the ranch was 13,440 acres at its peak. Photo taken circa 1949. Dad spent a lot of time on horseback before he joined the Air Force. Me and my four brothers rode on our neighbor's 1,000 acre property in California and had a few head of cattle on our 20 acre ranch in Laytonville California. I traded my horse for a Marine Corps fighter jet and got away from ranching for a spell. Now, I'm trying to help city folk get a feel for the wild west in a controlled and safe environment. I'm having a lot of fun doing it too. Dad will turn 90 in June 2021. Dad was the youngest of 13 kids and my Mom, Elinor Glynn (Tilly) Burton, was the oldest of 13 kids so I have a lot of cousins scattered all over. I try to welcome visitors as I would distant cousins. - Wrangler Roger.
