City Ranch, a non-profit community equestrian educational organization founded in 2007. City Ranch is working to reintroduce horsemanship to Baltimore City through a variety of programs and services. We offer horseback riding lessons, guided trail rides, and lessons in basic horse care. Through our partnership with local public schools, we strive to offer children and youth a positive focus, to challenge them to succeed, and put some fun in the "hood!" City Ranch will bring the Horses to Your Event. Click here to find out more.

The City Ranch is also starting a new program to help kids swim and stay fit by visiting the beaches in Nassau Bahamas.
