Rooted in History
The Equestrian Center has been part of the Ken-Caryl Ranch story long before the community’s development in the 1970s.
Originally part of a working cattle ranch and private estate, the facility continues to honor the area’s equestrian traditions while evolving to meet the needs of today’s riders and horse owners.
Today, the Equestrian Center remains a cornerstone of the Ken-Caryl Ranch community — preserving the spirit of the Ranch while creating new opportunities for connection, recreation, and education.
More Than a Riding Facility
The Ken-Caryl Ranch Equestrian Center is a place where:
- Children build confidence
- Riders develop lifelong skills
- Horse owners find community
- Families create lasting memories
- Residents connect with nature and open space
From first lessons to daily trail rides, the Equestrian Center continues to bring people together through a shared passion for horses and the outdoors.
