Afterwards, cool off with a tall glass of southern ice tea while soaking in the gorgeous view of the Sequatchie Valley from the back deck. Now it's time for a leisurely home-cooked country dinner at one of Sequatchie Valley's quaint little family owned restaurants, just five minutes up the valley. Back at the ranch, there’s time for a little outdoor star gazing while listening for the call of the coyotes in the valley before hitting the hay, or relax and enjoy a movie on the ranch big screen ... Horsey movies only playing of course! Rise and Shine... before you know it, it’s breakfast time! Oh no, not for you! The horses eat first at the ranch, so keep your boots by the bed! After the horses are fed enjoy your breakfast in the Biblical-themed dining room or on the back deck. Now it's time to hit the trail! Well ... almost! Your day full of equestrian activities begins with horsemanship training ... grooming, horse safety, basic horse care, parts of the horse ... and don't forget to clean the hooves! Now it's time to saddle up, followed by a fun riding lesson in the ring. Enjoy some great family games on horseback to develop or improve the skills your family will need on the trail! Beginners who have never been on a horse before, through novice riders with experience, will all enjoy this riding lesson. After the lesson, it's water break time for the horses and the guests. Don't forget to pack your saddle bags and canteens. It's time to hit the trail and put your new found horsemanship skills to work in the wide open spaces! After riding through a picturesque country setting in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley, enjoy lunch on the trail. While the horses take a break in the shade don't forget to unpack your bible from your saddlebags so you can join in on a short Inductive Bible Study - "What the Bible Has to Say About Horses". Well, mount up cowboys (and cowgirls) and move 'em out! ... it’s time to hit the trail again and start working your way home! Watch out for those cows! Be sure to keep your eye out for the "fake bull horns" on the trail. If you rope the real ones you may get more BULL than you intended! No, you’re not quite done yet cowpokes ... you’ve still got to unsaddle your horse, clean your saddle and bridle, and hose him down! Whoa! Don’t forget to get one more picture of your most memorable family vacation ever as you kiss your favorite ranch horse goodbye! Or don't say goodbye after just one day.
