What a beautiful and special place! I just hosted my very first photography workshop (working with dogs and horses) last week at Sylvan Dale. I had photographers fly in from all over the country and we had an incredible time! The staff was so friendly and the food was delicious...especially the banana bread! Each day, there were activities posted that you could sign up for so between photography activities, we could join in on some ranch fun. One of the days, 2 of us signed up for adult cow sorting so we got to go out and find the cows, move them to the sorting pen and then learn how to sort them as a team. It was the most fun I have had on horseback in a long time! This place is incredibly special. There were a few other families there at the same time as us and most of them have been coming with their own families for decades. Also, a great place to come with kids. So many activities, and a beautiful pool to cool off in. All the kids there seemed to be having the time of their lives! Highly recommend! Here are a few shots form the workshop...
