What a spectacular winter we enjoyed, here in The Valley of the Sun, at Hook Arena and Roping Camp! April 1st brings our 22-23 winter season to an close😩

I think everyone who camped here this winter enjoyed a measure of success competing in our chosen events! 🙌🏼 Lots of days spent in the arena polishing up our skills, while enjoying our horses and our friends! We turned meals into social events every chance we got, and enjoyed our outdoor fire pit area as much as we could! (Roasted Marshmallows IS a major food group in our yard!)

Our winter schedule for 23-24 will begin on November 1 and again, go through March 31. Our open availability for the season is pretty slim. If your thinking of joining us, and are not on our booking schedule, please contact me asap to check our openings.

Here is a photo dump of the best of times… 🌞🌵🌴🌵🌞

Perfect evening around the fire pit! “Jophus” (as his little buddy Chesney calls him) makes a mean toasted marshmallow! Bonus prize was Melanie cooked a pork loin dinner for everyone in our yard, which was absolutely delicious! Kinda sad that folks are starting to head back north….

WILD WEST WEDNESDAY 🌴Ground turned out to be sketchy today!!! 😩 I obviously haven’t given Sidekick or Patches enough credit for handling the ground I run them on. 😳 🌴🌴🌴

As of now, the remainder of Wild West Wednesdays will be postponed indefinitely! I’m not a quitter, and I certainly don’t give up easily, but there comes a time to concede.

03/02/2022

Gonna try to do the exhibitions a little different tomorrow…

Training sessions:

20 minute time slot, no more than 5 people per slot $15 each per person. These are literally do it how you want, just play nice with the others in your group. Message me to reserve your session. Ground will be groomed between sessions:

Session 1: 10:00-10:20
Session 2: 10:30-10:50
Session 3: 11:00-11:20

Exhibitions 11:30-2:15

$5 each or 3/$10
Buy tickets at entry table, then get in line. One person in the arena at a time. Give your tickets to the gate man when you go in the alley. You can take them one at a time or all three in a row, however you like. During exhibitions you can go whatever speed you like, but no more than two circles at each barrel please. I will sell a limited number of exhibitions, so get them before we sell out!

Please tag and share!!!

Tonight 14 people from 3 Canadian Provinces (I think), and 3 different states, had the best Taco Sunday Fire pit party EVER!!! So good, in fact, that not one of us took a single picture! 🤦🏼‍♀️ As of 9:45 pm (😳 LATE night for this hood) we are all full of tacos 🌮, roasted marshmallows🍢 and Wild 🤠West stories and fresh out of firewood 🔥🔥🔥!!!

Yesterday, Joseph represented Hook Arena and Roping Camp at Rancho Rio with a few Hawaiian friends! Such a fun way to spend a day in the desert!!! 🌵🌴🌵

02/18/2022

After much contemplating and consulting, we think we’ve got the dirt issues from yesterday at least headed in the right direction!!! Next Wednesday is supposed to be cool again with a chance of rain… and, on top of that, it’s the day of the Mike Cervi Jr Memorial Team Roping. Dick has made the executive decision (🤦🏼‍♀️😂) to skip next week, and resume the races on March 2nd!!! We have more great prizes to give away in March!!! Until then, Happy Trails!!!

02/17/2022

Back to the drawing board… 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yesterday the ground here was the best it’s ever been, but today we had issues! Trust us, your safety is more important to us than anything else! We will get someone over here in the next day or two to tell us how to fix what we’ve got going on, and how to keep it from happening again! Please don’t give up on us!!!

To those that showed up for us today, you have our most sincere apologies for today’s cancellation! Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated!!!
