The American Ranching Academy isn’t a class you sit through… it’s an experience you step into.

Spend a week learning real skills on a working ranch:
• Hands-on horsemanship

• Fence building & land management
• Tractor basics & AgBusiness
• Teamwork, grit, and leadership

You’ll wake up early, get your hands dirty, and finish each day knowing you actually did something real. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just skills you carry with you for life.

The 4th Annual Pony Pumpkin Patch was a boot stompin' hit and it's all because of YOU! Thank you to everyone who came out to the ranch for a couple amazing days of fun and learning on the farm! From Pony Rides to Hay Rides, Farm to Table Food to a campfire and S'mores, Milking a Dairy Cow to ropin' a steel steer (or even ropin' a volunteer from the crowd!), everyone enjoyed our unique Fall Festival. Our Pony Power Presentation featuring our American Mustangs was a crowd favorite and young and old buckaroos alike tried out their skills in the Slingshots 'n Saddles Shooting Gallery! The Sequatchie Valley Program of Agriculture F.A.R.M. Degree students would like to thank the Tennessee Dude & Guest Ranch for hosting this nonprofit fundraiser for the school and all of the wonderful volunteers who worked hard to make this event an amazing success! See you next year!
