Your Horse’s Comfort and Care is Our Mission

At River Ranch, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care for your horses, a commitment rooted deeply in our family’s rich history with these magnificent animals. Tammy, having grown up surrounded by esteemed horsemen and horsewomen—her parents Ray and Marge Freeland—was introduced to horses before she could even walk. This early exposure ignited a lifelong passion for horse care, training, and management that has influenced her life and the lives of many generations to come.
Tammy and Ron have blended their extensive knowledge with insights from close family friends to create a unique approach to horse care that produces extraordinary horses across various disciplines. Tammy’s journey in the equine world began as a young competitor in gymkhanas, AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) shows, and Junior Rodeos, eventually leading her to High School and college rodeos. Her talent earned her a rodeo scholarship to Arkansas State University, but after the tragic loss of her main barrel horse, she shifted her focus and continued competing with sponsorships across the Southwest. Tammy has competed in professional rodeos, including WPRA, GCPRA, and the Turquoise Circuit Pro Rodeo, winning multiple state and regional championships.

What Our
Customer’s Say

    River Ranch has a beautiful arena and has been incredibly welcoming and accommodating to me and my horses’ needs. The stalls are huge and the breeze that comes through keeps my horse nice and cool in the summer months. I love the automatic waterers and misters.

    Amber

      I love River Ranch. They have done so much to that place in such a short time. Ron is incredible and can fix anything. They both are amazing people, and I love to go there and ride my horse.

      Jamie

        Oh my gosh, Tammy fixed my horse. Peaches, my horse was pulling me all over the place and she had no manners. Now I can halter her and walk her around. I’m just learning about horses, and Tammy has provided me with so much information. I can’t wait to ride her.

        Lily

          We did a horse camping event on their riverfront property. We all set up right by the river and could listen to the river all night. A couple of people played their guitars and sang by the campfire and then we roasted hot dogs and made smores. I can’t imagine a nicer weekend. Thank you, River Ranch.

          Justin & Hailey

            I love horses, and I don’t have one yet. Mrs. Smith had let me ride on one of her horses and I’m just starting to learn how to ride and learn about leads. It’s so much fun to lope. Horses are cool and Ms. Smith makes it even more fun.
