Writer Shawn Hamilton had the opportunity to attend a Julie Goodnight clinic at the C Lazy U Ranch, and raved about her experience on the Trail Rider Magazine website. Chock-full of details, this article describes the Yoga and Riding Clinic to a tee. We are happy she enjoyed herself so much!

Denver Life Weddings featured Joclyn & Robert Lawson in the “Real Weddings” section of the magazine. The couple was married at C Lazy U in a unique wedding of rustic elegance. The C Lazy U Ranch has also been highlighted in Denver Life Weddings “On the Range” feature, a roundup of ranches with wedding venues.
Award-winning writer Irene Thomas brought her family to C Lazy U after school let out and she raves about her experience in her column on MyFamilyTravels.com. We’re so glad they enjoyed themselves…but we’re not surprised. It’s what we do best!
Conde Nast Traveler’s article on How to Plan the Perfect Kid Friendly Vacation mentions C Lazy U Ranch in the section of advice for tweens. They mentioned that our kids program includes freedom from parents – but in a controlled group setting with a trained counselor serving as a role model – the kids form lasting bonds with their horse and their peers.
We are delighted to have been included in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2016 Summer “Bucket List” of things to do. Teaching folks how to ride a horse the right way is definitely one of our specialties!

Talk of a Colorado dude ranch getaway most definitely conjures images of bright blue skies, foliage draped over mountain trails, and horses grazing in wide open pastures. Of course, you’ll find all that and more at C Lazy U — but here, where you start and end the day is just as important as how…
From the Horse's Mouth
Julie's first Horsemanship Immersion clinic was excellent. The structure of the days and content of materials was on-point. For me personally, I got to work with horses I did not know and use my horsemanship skills to help the horses work through various exercises that they don't normally do. That was my goal for the clinic. The workshops were perfect topics, and the vet workshops were great information. There is so much to talk about and the team remained flexible to everyone's interest but kept on schedule. Julie's team is always able to work with everyone and help us grow our horsemanship skills with quick evaluation of our skills and encouraging reminders. That is what it is all about!
