JL Ranch Horse Camp
A Unique Collaborative Experience
JL Ranch is a 250 acre ranch on Richland Chambers Reservoir. Our size and adjacency to the lake make us the perfect place for camp! Just over an hour South of Dallas - we are easy to reach.
​
JL Ranch is proud to offer JL Ranch Horse Camp. Our camp is a collaboration between your barn and our ranch. As the ONLY barn staying at JLR during a session - the focus is on you! In addition, this gives your barn a chance to really bond. Options for individual campers as well!
​
Sessions are typically 6 days, 5 nights. With Sunday arrival and Friday departure. Length of stay and dates can be customized to fit your scheduling needs. Food and lodging are all provided by JLR.
​
You will trailer your horses to camp Sunday morning. They will be checked in and settled into our stalls. Bring up to 10 horses. In an effort to minimally disrupt their normal care - you will provide feed/grain. During your stay at camp, we will keep stalls clean and filled with water and shavings. Your campers will need to feed their own horses morning and night.
​
Days generally consist of lessons taught by your trainers after breakfast and dinner. Lessons are broken into groups of 4 riders. One group will lesson while the other has a camp activity and then vice versa. See link below for possible schedule - but we can modify to fit your needs! If you prefer an outside trainer - one can be arranged.
​
Afternoons and non-riding times will be spent enjoying more conventional camp activities. All activities provided by and completely run by JLR staff. More info below!
​
6 day session (Sunday to Friday) Cost is $2250/camper plus $50/night stall fee - TOTAL $2500. This fee includes trainer fees for lessons. Tuition is paid directly to JLR. Refunds are available until 2 weeks prior to the start of camp.
Barn partners bringing trainers will paid their portion at the end of camp. Contact us for more details on this breakdown.
