Dear friends, October has arrived, schools have started back in full swing, and so has work. However, temperatures still seem to be summery, slowly ushering us into autumn.
Times for Reflection and Times for Action
How did you spend your summer?
Ours has been challenging, but despite everything, I've found the time to start reading again—a great passion of mine—and to exercise; because we know that mind and body need to be protected.
At the Ranch we have made important decisions
Over the past few months, we've made some important decisions at the Ranch, including one that affects the health of our beloved horses and the safety of our customers.
Together with our longtime veterinarian, we began gelding our Berber Arabian stallions. The first operations began in June, and so far we're very satisfied with the results. The horses are calmer, emotionally stable, and able to listen, while maintaining their primordial stamina over long distances.
We've therefore further increased the safety standards for those who participate in our horseback riding excursions. We'll continue in the coming months and keep you updated, even if some horses remain stallions: like Sultan, Hidalgo, Flamenco, and Jimy, who knows if we'll one day have babies from them...
Those who have been coming to the Ranch for many years know how much we care about our horses, and all the love we put into our work.
Exclusive musical dinners
Another exciting development is that we've launched our exclusive musical dinner season for groups at the Ranch . A unique location where horses take center stage , along with Gnawa musicians.
It was great for us to start hosting these types of events again, to entertain a group of friends for a birthday party and see them dancing alongside our horses, enjoying dinner and music.
Hoping that the next group we can welcome will be yours...

Let's plan the next season
It's finally that time of year when we plan the next season . It's always exciting to do so and imagine you arriving at the Ranch to take part in our excursions, seeing you return and recognizing Ahmed and Mustapha who welcome you at Reception, and getting excited when you ask us about the horses you know by name.
Since I started this job many years ago, what has always given me great satisfaction is seeing you return and feel at home. Our spirit is to create a second home, a place where you can return to have fun and relax, feeling like family.
We want to thank you for your trust and let you know that our little paradise is your home too!
