Summary
Over 20 years ago, on their honeymoon, Ike and Cheri Bunney came across a piece of property in the Sierra Foothills of California that seemed like home. From there, they built a unique guest ranch and riding facility that allows them to share their passion for riding fun, intelligent, responsive horses with people from all over the world.
Over the years, the Bunney's have also bred championship cutting horses and riders. Their daughter, Tiffany, has a long list of accomplishments, as do both Ike and Cheri themselves.
Beyond raising champions, the Bunney's have good, solid horse-sense and are happy to share insights and observations with their guests. Their goal is never to come off as the experts with all the answers, but to gently help people find the right path to better and safer horsemanship. One regular visitor remembers Ike telling her --as she wiggled back and forth all over the saddle during one of her first lessons--that all that movement made that poor, patient horse, think she was constantly about to ask him to do something. "No one had ever put it to me quite that way and it was the one thing that clicked, especially when I stopped wiggling and my horse settled," she said. "Ike and Cheri seem to find ways to teach you in spite of yourself."
The bunkhouse is rustic and cozy, and was built by hand from lumber milled from the ranch. It stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, offering year-round accomodations for our guests. There are four private rooms--three queens and one set of twin beds--sleeping up to eight guests. The common room has a potbelly stove, kitchenette, microwave, dishes, small refrigerator, and comfortable couches--perfect for relaxing on and sharing the day's adventures.
