May Horseback Riding: What to Expect

  • No horseback riding on check-in and check-out days.
  • All rides are paced for the least experienced rider in the group, and if children are riding, the ride may be walk-only. Trail conditions also determine whether trotting and/or loping will be allowed.
  • This event does not include cattle working. If you are interested in our Cattle Sorting Clinic, consider booking one of our week-long summer stays occurring mid-June to mid-August.

Spend a few meaningful days at C Lazy U with a short-stay experience created for families who want time together without the week-long commitment. Enjoy a rare short-stay opportunity that blends luxury, adventure, and meaningful moments — all at your own pace.

It’s summer vacation time! Ready for blistering sun, resort pools with no elbow room, long buffet lines, and itineraries built entirely around finding a halfway decent spot on the sand?  Look, there’s nothing wrong with a family beach vacation, but the trappings of such an affair can start to grate without a change of pace.…

The Patio House was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was great and always included a dish that was either fast and easy, more casual or less heavy. The desserts were always a treat. Nice job!
