The Little Jennie Ranch, based in Monroe, Connecticut, operates guided ranch and horseback experiences featuring authentic Western-style activities. The ranch offers a range of trips including working ranch days with professional cowboys, scenic half- and full-day horseback rides, chuckwagon dinners, ride-and-fly-fish trips, and an overnight Bedroll & Breakfast camp experience.
Visitors can choose from hands-on cattle work with a professional crew, extended packed-lunch adventure rides into Bridger Teton National Forest, short scenic rides, and guided ranch tours by ATV or truck. Many trips are designed for small groups and include options for families, couples, and experienced riders seeking challenging rides.
