Review & FAQ:

Founded by legendary trainer and all around lover of equestrian animals, Meredith Hodges, the Lucky Three Ranch is part animal sanctuary, part training facility, and all about long eared donkeys and mules.

The ranch itself isn’t open to the public except through tours, given that it is a working ranch and can’t have people wandering around underfoot, but guests are more than welcome to book a tour. When booking a tour it is best to do so ten or more days in advance to guarantee availability, and the tour season runs from January through October.
