“Thank you to all for this extra special experience, our lady chefs for the delicious home-cooked food, the grooms who were willing to help us, at all times, Julie & Sean who were the perfect hosts and our special group of fabulous ladies who started as strangers and ended as dear and close companions, sharing stories, laughter and tears. A time which will be etched forever in my memory.”
ASHLEY
"It really is quite special for a group of people who arrive as relative strangers but then leave with a unique bond through their shared experience.
There was laughter, there was bravery, there were moments and tears of personal triumph. New friendships were formed.
Thank you Julie, Sean, Jen, Maddie, the ranch hands, the ladies in the kitchen and our trusty steeds for creating a truly profound experience.”

“…To my steed, the brave heart that is Diamond who gave so much, you are firmly lodged in my heart; to Jen Whyle whose horsemanship skills are shared with gentle guidance, humility and grace, thank you for your faith in Diamond and I; to the Karoo Ranching team, each cook, groom, and farm worker, your professionalism, care and warm smiles were so appreciated. And of course to the incredible force of nature that is Julie and the strong man that is Sean... you know my heart... thank you!”
KATE
“Hard to describe and impossible to forget, Karoo Ranching stays with you long after you leave the ranch.
Magnificent horses, in magnificent mountains, under magnificent skies, with magnificent people, wrapped in magnificent Karoo hospitality.
I'm with Jen, just do it! Again and again :)”
ELLA
“Karoo Ranching is a balm for the soul, home, honest food and open hearts, healing horses, magical mountains and big starry skies.
I have made many lasting friendships there and I continue to return, and each time I do the experience is new and enriching.
See you soon Elandskloof!”
