RIDE HOST SPOTLIGHT

continue >

The Von Holten Ranch, a family owned Century Farm, is currently owned by David and Brandy Von Holten. Guests consistently remarked what gracious and friendly hosts the family were, and how much they enjoyed the accommodations and trails.

Upon completion of the daily competitions, which were also enjoyed by non-competing 'Buddy Riders', attendees flocked to the arena to enjoy clinics and demonstrations being conducted by some of the nation's most well-known horsemen and women. John Lyons, Michael Lyons, Guy McLean, Scott Purdum and Evon Montgomery were but a few of the incredible list of outstanding clinicians enjoyed by all who attended. To name all who contributed their valuable knowledge and passion for the horse would make for a lengthy list, but all were deeply appreciated and enjoyed.

As the final sunset fell over the weekend's events, all were left with a deep feeling of satisfaction and one big question on their minds, "When and where will the next Great American Trail Horse Festival be held?"
