Snow to Sunshine Escape – JOIN THE WAITLIST
February 22 - February 27

Join Elli for this 4-day / 5-night escape to warm Arizona!
Ride under the watchful (and proverbial) eyes of the big Saguaro cacti in the Sonoran Desert, experience the thrill of working cattle, and improve your riding even in winter!
Kay El Bar Ranch is so historic that it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s. It offers a cozy atmosphere, family-style meals, and a variety of rooms—plus a swimming pool and hot tub!
For 2026, Elli has timed this horsey experience to coincide with the Art of the Cowgirl – a unique gathering of cowgirls, artists & Western enthusiasts happening just down the road. Mix & mingle with other horsewomen, get inspired, and shop till you drop!Â
