Taylor Ranch is a world-renowned Arabian horse breeding farm in Payson that has shown and exported horses all over the world. This year, we are taking part in the Time to Ride Challenge. Sponsored by the American Horse Council, the challenge is a nationwide effort focused on welcoming newcomers to horseback riding and the Arabian horse.

We will have 10 campers at the farm July 5 through 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. During camp, they will learn about stable management, grooming and riding. We will have a visit from our farrier and see a horse shod on Wednesday. Campers will also get to make a custom photo frame and stick horse.

On Saturday, July 9, from 1 to 3 p.m., the campers will be teaching our open house guests about what they learned during camp. Guests will be able to learn the history of the horse as well as how versatile the Arabian can be. They will be able to pet a horse and get their photo taken with an Arabian in a traditiona­l native costume. We will have an Arabian horse exhibition at 2 p.m.

This is a free opportunit­y for the public to visit one of the top Arabian breeding farms in the world. We will also be doing a drawing for free riding lessons. Guests can inquire about riding lessons and see our beautiful Arabian horses.

You can find more informatio­n about our services at our website, www.taylorarab­ians.com, or follow us on Facebook at Taylor Ranch Lesson Program. To sign up for camp, lessons or just to ask a question, send an email to lessons@taylorarab­ians.com.
