Learn to Ride the Trails on Grand Lakes, Nancy & Val Saamer, Owners

Yes, this is what you think it is. Riding horses on happy trails at Grand Lake Oklahoma. You see, we have some special people on Monkey Island who moved here from Chicago a while back who love horses. It also turns out they may love the fruit of the vine as well, because they created a vinyard on the Royal Horse Ranch. Oklahoma’s climate makes the enjoyment of horseback riding possible year ’round. Come join your friends at Monkey Island Trail & Hay Rides as we follow trails through sunny pastures, shady woods and along beautiful Grand Lake.”We have gentle horses for gentle people…spirited horses for spirited people and…horses that don’t like to be ridden for people who don’t like to ride”.

Summer Horse Camp for Girls at Grand Lake on Monkey Island

There is also the Grand Lake Horse Camp  which offers an equestrian riding program for girls between the ages of 9 and 14. They can choose to ride English, Western or a combination of both. Horses are assigned to each girl based on her ability and the style she chooses to ride. Riding lessons are part of the daily routine. Grand Lake Horse Camp provides all tack. Safety is a key element of the cirriculum. The campers learn the responsibility of taking care of a horse, which includes feeding, grooming, saddling, daily riding, and the many other aspects of horsemanship. Our highly knowledgeable instructors give daily lessons to each camper in both group sessions and individual instruction.

Grand Lake Horse Camp is located at Royal Horse Ranch on Monkey Island, surrounded by beautiful Grand Lake O’The Cherokees in northeastern Oklahoma. Eighty acres, including indoor and outdoor riding arenas, beautiful pastures, a cross country jumping course, a large trail class and the scenic lakefront are part of the camp experience. Trail rides, cookouts and other horse related activities are included in the week long sessions.

Campers arrive on Sunday afternoon and stay in the “Bit & Bridle Bunkhouse” with a live-in counselor. Campers depart on Saturday morning with a featured demonstration for parents and guests.

Throughout the year, ROYAL HORSE RANCH and MONKEY ISLAND TRAIL & HAY RIDES
