Welcome to Varekai Ranch.
Behind the gates is a place where humans and horses have the privilege to build relationships and confidence alongside one another. Wandering between pastures, barns, and arenas, you’ll experience powerful stories in the making.
Heart Centered. Horse Forward.
Varekai Ranch offers lessons, boarding, and clinics with a common thread: thoughtful horsemanship, even in the smallest of interactions. It’s a place where people gather and learn, nurturing strong partnerships and collective expertise required to put horses first.
From coast to coast, Varekai Ranch is setting a high standard for horsemanship with integrity. We have ranches in two locations: Tumalo, Oregon and Indiantown, Florida. Each environment offers unique and meaningful opportunities to build community in support of horses.
While you’re here…
Our nonprofit arm, The Sanctuary at Varekai Ranch, provides long-term care for a very special herd of horses who have been promised safety and kindness.
Let me walk among them with quiet feet,
the ones who speak without words,
who teach without trying.Let my hands remember the language
of muscle and breath,
the steady rhythm of care.May I learn to listen
beneath the sound of hooves,
beneath the pulse of weather and wind,
to that still place
where trust is born.Let my work be devotion,
not labor;
my strength, a kind of tenderness;
my will, a bridge
between fear and freedom.And when the day is done,
may the dust on my boots
and the warmth in my heart
both bear witness
to love made visible.-Anonymous
