Summer Camp:
We have been running our traditional summer camp for nearly 70 years and this place has become a summer home for many amazing children. We run 3 Day Camp programs and a Resident Camp program. Our Day Camp consists of General Day Camp, an opportunity for campers to try all of the activities that we have to offer in a wonderful fun packed 8:30 - 5:00 day. Our Equestrian Day Camp gives c
ampers that want a little more horse action the ability to be down at the barn and learn the basics of horse care and riding. Finally, our Discount Day Camp program gives campers the opportunity to experience most of our activities in a shorter day at a discounted rate. Our Resident Camp gives campers the ability to tailor their schedule to the activities that they wish to experience and excel in. Horse Boarding:
Enjoy our 160 acre ranch and beautiful facility. Truly a great place to keep your four-legged friend. Riding Program:

Great words of wisdom. We encourage our fellow horse lovers to give this a read!
Things your riding instructor wants you to know:
1. This sport is hard. You don't get to bypass the hard…..every good rider has gone through it. You make progress, then you don't, and then you make progress again. Your riding instructor can coach you through it, but they cannot make it easy.
2. You're going to ride horses you don't want to ride. If you're teachable, you will learn from every horse you ride. Each horse in the barn can teach you if you let them. IF YOU LET THEM. Which leads me to…
3. You MUST be teachable to succeed in this sport. You must be teachable to succeed at anything, but that is another conversation. Being teachable often means going back to basics time and time and time again. If you find basics boring, then your not looking at them as an opportunity to learn. Which brings me to…..
4. This sport is a COMMITMENT. Read that, then read it again. Every sport is a commitment, but in this sport your teammate weighs 1200 lbs and speaks a different language. Good riders don't get good by riding every once in awhile….they improve because they make riding a priority and give themsevles opportunity to practice.
5. EVERY RIDE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. Even the walk ones. Even the hard ones. Every. Single. Ride. Remember when you just wished someone would lead you around on a horse? Find the happiness in just being able to RIDE. If you make every ride about what your AREN'T doing, you take the fun out of the experience for yourself, your horse, and your instructor. Just enjoy the process. Which brings me to...
6. Riding should be fun. It is work. and work isn't always fun.....but if you (or your rider) are consistently choosing other activities or find yourself not looking forward to lessons, it's time to take a break. The horses already know you don't want to be here, and you set yourself up for failure if you are already dreading the lesson before you get here.
7. You'll learn more about horses from the ground than you ever will while riding. That's why ground lessons are important, too. If you're skipping ground lessons (or the part of your lesson that takes place on the ground), you're missing out on the most important parts of the lesson. You spend far more time on the ground with horses than you do in the saddle.
8. Ask questions and communicate. If you're wondering why your coach is having you ride a particular horse or do an exercise, ask them. Then listen to their answer and refer to #3 above.
9. We are human beings. We make decisions (some of them life and death ones) every day. We balance learning for students with workloads for horses and carry the bulk of this business on our shoulders. A little courtesy goes a long way.
Of all the sports your child will try through their school years, riding is one of 3 that they may continue regularly as adults (golf and skiing are the others). People who coach riding spend the better part of their free time and much of their disposable income trying to improve their own riding and caring for the horses who help teach your child. They love this sport and teaching others…..but they all have their limits. Not all good riders are good coaches, but all good coaches will tell you that the process to get good is not an easy one.
*thank you to whoever wrote this! Not my words, but certainly a shared sentiment!

For over 70 years, Cloverleaf Ranch has provided a healthy, wholesome and fun vacation for children. Originally a boys working ranch, Cloverleaf has become a "home away from home" for thousands of children and adults from all over the world. Born in 1947, our ranch was built (board by board) by my Grandfather, Larry Armstrong and created by my Grandmother, Grace Armstrong.
Today, in addition to our award-winning horse boarding and riding programs, we are home to Sonoma County’s Premiere Summer Camp Program. Our ranch brings the fun and excitement of the traditional summer camp experience to campers, with activities such as horseback riding, campouts, hiking, swimming, arts and crafts, zip-lining and many more activities. 160 acres of oak tree dotted hills and grazing land, Cloverleaf Ranch is the perfect setting for a camp adventure! The location is just off Highway 101 at the northern edge of Santa Rosa, only an hour’s drive from San Francisco.
Summer Camp: We offer a wide range of programs including both day and resident camps. Resident camp gives children the full Cloverleaf experience, including assigned cabins in our Western town and the chance to fully customize their schedule and activities. We also offer three different Day Camp options, with varying activities and pricing. Whichever camp you choose for your child, they are sure to have the time of their lives at our traditional outdoor summer camp!
Horse Boarding:
Our 160 acre ranch is a fantastic setting for any horse lover! We offer 12x24 stalls, feeding 7 days a week, blanketing, lunch, and turnout options. Boarding includes full access to our round pen, covered and uncovered arenas, and 160 acres of trails amongst the rolling hills and oak trees of Sonoma County.
Riding Program:
Have a little one who goes dreamy-eyed for horses? Or are you the dreamy-eyed one yourself? Whether your a beginner or an old pro, our riding academy has lessons to suit you! We offer private lead line lessons for ages 3-6, and private or group lessons and trails rides for ages 7 and up, including adults!
Facility Rentals:
Why pay more for a faux rustic setting, when the real deal is here at Cloverleaf! We host birthday parties, retreats, company parties, and weddings! Call our office to schedule a tour, we’ll be happy to show you around!
