Second Annual “All Things Western” weekend!
October 20th -22nd, 2023
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live a western lifestyle? Ride ranch horses over thousands of acres in search of cattle; Listen to the call of the coyotes on the distant hills and sleep under a blanket of stars. Are you yearning for something real and down to earth? Come out to our home on the Camatta Ranch, a 32,000-acre cattle and exotic animal ranch that dates back to Mexican land grant days. This is a rare opportunity to “walk in our boots.” Dates are October 20-22, 2023.
Camping- We will provide canvas wall tents, or sleep under the stars. If roughing it isn’t your style, we have ranch bungalows available (first come first serve for additional fee) or bring your RV.
The west is still wild! Enjoy this all inclusive western weekend where you will experience life on the working Camatta Ranch. Your weekend will include trail riding with well trained horses provided by Central Coast Trailrides.
Inspired by a love of Old California and those who pioneered the West. Learn how to shape your own personal hat with Salt Ranch. During this workshop you’re able to customize a palm leaf hat! They are easily reshaped just by getting them wet. No steam is required. Palm leaf are waterproof and will hold their shape even in a heavy downpour. The plus is they are washable with just soap and water. Salt Ranch hats are self-conforming to the shape of your head. There’s nothing like a hand made, hand shaped custom hat created just for you.
Work on your leather tooling and roping skills with Horse Trap Leather. Johanna will work with you on tooling skills and after the workshop you're able to take home the leather creation! At this station, put your roping skills to the test!
Saturday night, kick the dust up! Grab your boots and head over to the Camatta Ranch Stage to enjoy some traditional honky tonk music from the talented Victoria Bailey!
Enjoy all meals provided by the Spicy Cowgirl! Open fire dutch oven and cowboy BBQ are traditional meals for a western cookout. Each meal is mainly based around seasons and the local harvest. We believe in knowing where our food comes from. Here on the ranch we are blessed with a one acre garden to tend and harvest from all year round. Daily we pick up farm fresh chicken eggs and supply grass fed and grass finished beef as well as pork from our ranch. We support our local farmers and ranchers when possible. If you have any special dietary needs or restrictions, we can happily accommodate them with an advanced notice.
Looking forward to sharing our lifestyle with you. We are limiting this special gathering to 15 people at $800/ea. Please call for reservations or questions 805-835-7384 or email gatheringsatlazyarrow.com
