Valley View Ranch
Wagons, bunkhouses and a western saloon in the Herefordshire countryside. Valley View is a real American horse ranch, and you can stay the week.

Saddle up for the ranch life
Bruce and Tina Lawrence built Valley View as a full American horse ranch in the Herefordshire countryside, and they did not do it by halves. Guests sleep in western-themed bunkhouses and wagons, gather in the clubhouse and the saloon, and can bring their own horse on holiday. Around them are indoor and outdoor arenas, among them an 80 by 40 metre outdoor arena, and a cross-country course.
The aim, in the ranch's own words, is to connect riders with the spirit of the American West through logical and respectful horsemanship. Its Quarter Horses have competed internationally, and they are chosen to look after nervous riders too.
Ways to ride the ranch
Ranch holidays
Several days of riding, ranch life and evenings in the saloon. They run through the year and fill up fast, so look early.
Lessons with Bruce
Bruce Lawrence is a WES Professional Level 5, a UKCC coach and a multiple British Reining champion. Private and group lessons, from a first ride to the show pen.
