Belrancho is a family-orientated horse ranch where you can enjoy a trail ride over beautiful Belarussian landscape or receive private, western-style riding lessons in our arena. We have genuine hand-made, hand-tooled, leather western saddles with deep, comfortably-padded seats that are securely attached to gentle horses.

The ranch is run by people who have a desire to bring more wholesome, family-fun activities to Belarus. Belrancho is a family place. No alcoholic beverages, smoking, or foul language will be tolerated on the premises or on the trails. Safety will be our primary concern at all times especially around and on the horses.

Advance reservations for the day and time you would like to ride or take lessons, are required.  As the ranch grows there will be day long activities, summer camps, and special cowboy-carnival days.

Belrancho has a special burden for the orphanages of Belarus. These institutions are full of good children who have lost their parents or who's parents have had their parental rights taken away. The ranch will provide time for children from the orphanages to come, free of charge, and ride the trails or take lessons.  It is amazing to see what a difference compassion can make in the life of a child who has experienced very little.  Caring for and receiving acceptance from a horse can be immeasurably theraputic! 

The ranch will begin it's construction in the spring of 2010.  The ranch will be located in the little farming village of Chernikofshina. Chernikofshina is located 30 km SW of Minsk and 7 km from the town of Dzerzhinsk, in the Dzerzhinsk Oblast, on Hwy M1 towards Brest.
