Kid-Friendly Vacations: Kids Learn About Horsemanship and the Great Outdoors at Colorado’s Historic 4UR Ranch

Creede, CO—The historic 4UR Ranch, surrounded by the southern rocky mountains and nestled in the valley of beautiful south-central Colorado boasts top-quality horses, majestic vistas, legendary hot springs, superb dining, sweater-cool weather well into August, and a renowned children’s program that includes a focus on horsemanship. The highlight of the children’s experience is the weekly "rodeo" which gives the kids a chance for children to show off their newly acquired skills with a series of fun contests in the horse arena, complete with rodeo clowns.

The 4UR Ranch offers organized activities like horseback riding, hiking, treasure hunts, animal tracking, fishing lessons, campfires, hayrides, panning for gold, swimming, movie nights, and group games in a safe environment that encourages children to interact with their peers and enjoy some time in the great outdoors. The professional wranglers at the 4UR are accomplished in Natural Horsemanship and can share the special insights of this approach to riding with guests. With their expertise and the extensive trail system at the 4UR Ranch, both kids and adults will find many opportunities to improve their riding skills or simply become more comfortable in the saddle.

The ranch offers plenty of activities for adults too, like horseback riding, shooting some trap or sporting clays, swimming, hiking, jogging, and mountain biking. There's private golfing on a spectacular 18-hole championship golf course at the nearby Rio Grande Club, available by special arrangement to guests of the ranch. Explorers can take a quick trip into nearby Creede, one of the very last miner’s boom towns that sprung up in Colorado. Visitors can catch a musical at the renowned Creede Repertory Theatre, soak in the famous hot spring spa, arrange for a soothing massage at the ranch, or just relax and spend time with loved ones.
