Tours
Meredith loves to have people visit with her at Lucky Three Ranch. The 127-acre ranch is home to 23 mules (including draft mule, Roll), eight horses and three donkeys (with our latest additions, mini-donkeys Spuds & Augie). Meredith will take you on a tour of the grounds and you’ll get to meet her champions, as well as view the life-size bronze sculptures they have inspired in the Loveland Longears Sculpture Park at Lucky Three Ranch.
Tours are usually given in the morning (10am–12:30pm), Monday through Friday. Admission is $10 per person, $5 for seniors (65 years or older) and $5 for children under 12 years of age. Please contact us for group rate discounts. If you have an equine topic of particular interest, you can let Meredith know and she will be sure to address it. Group tours typically begin with a short LTR film that explains the history of Lucky Three Ranch, different facets of our operation and our relationship to the community. After the film (or Jasper the Mule video for young children’s groups), you will begin the actual tour of the ranch, where you will have the opportunity to meet the mules and donkeys (and horses), see the life-size bronze statues that are a big part of the ranch and to ask any questions you may have. Tour carts are provided for any visitor who has a disability that might prevent them from making the on-foot trek around the property.
Due to unpredictable weather and the holidays, Lucky Three Ranch is closed for tours in November and December. To find out more details about Lucky Three Ranch tours, please contact us.

Hello,
We are a group of 12 senior who are interested in touring the Mule Ranch. How long is the tour? Could you have directions on the your web site, as I couldn’t find them?
Do you give tours on Wednesdays?
Tried to get your local phone number, but you were not listed. May I have a local phone number to get in contact with you directly?
Any suggestions on where to have lunch after the tour?
Wow, I am amazed to come across your website. I used to ride Tennesse Walkers before I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. I have to use a wheelchair for any distance but can use a walker around the house. We went to North Carolina recently and I begged my husband to let me ride. I did it with no problem!!! It was like the horse and I were one. I rode a Walker and we went up the moutain, through the streams and down the mountain. I didn’t have any trouble at all. It made me feel so good and like I could finally do something fun. I was a nurse and now I am on the opposite side so it has been a hard diagnosis. Thank you for what you are doing. I would love to visit you, ride or whatever I can do. I would even clean a stable. I am anxious to hear from you. I really want to say a big thank you for what you are doing!!! My dream is to move to Wyoming on some acreage and do what you are doing. There is such a need for this for disabled people. You are free from your disability for a bit and you feel like you accomplished something.
I have never ridden a donkey, so I don’t know how they ride. I just know when I look into a horses’ eyes it melts me and I feel we connect and are one in the same.

Do you ever do weekend tours? I have a daughter in school (3 of us) and another family may come along too (2 daughters in school). If not, can we just look around on the weekends? Also, I would be picking up a burro training book as I just bought a 5 year old gelded male who spent most of his previous life in pasture.
The other family also owns a burro and we have participated in the western pack burro association mountain races.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Mike
