A Rustic Horse Ranch Nestled in the Blackhills of South Dakota
Friendly Reminder, Horse Campers!
Before arriving at Hay Creek Ranch, please make sure you have the following documents for each horse you bring:
A current 30-Day Health Certificate

Dan and Linda will review these documents upon arrival before horses are unloaded. For the safety and health of all horses on the ranch, horses without the required paperwork will not be permitted to unload.
Thank you for helping us keep Hay Creek Ranch a safe and enjoyable place for everyone, two-legged and four-legged alike!
Surrounded by the Black Hills National Forest on three sides, Hay Creek Ranch is horse trail heaven.
