Diamond Springs Ranch

Meet the herd.

Get up close with the ranch’s Scottish Highland cattle herd — feed, brush, and photograph them.

Scroll

With their long horns, shaggy coats, and gentle personalities, our Scottish Highland cattle have become some of the most loved animals on the ranch. They’re part of everyday life here, accustomed to being around people, and each one seems to have a personality of its own.

The Highland Experience gives you a chance to slow down and spend some time with them — feeding, brushing, taking photos, and getting closer than most people ever have to cattle like these.

For kids, it can be a completely new experience. For adults, it’s often just as memorable. There’s something about standing in the pasture beside one of these big, shaggy animals that brings out a smile.

They’ve become one of the most photographed parts of Diamond Springs Ranch, but pictures are only part of it. There’s just something about meeting a Highland in person.

Who Books the Cattle Experience?

Families, couples, church groups, school field trips, photography enthusiasts who hear about the Highlands and make the drive specifically for them. It’s available standalone or paired with a trail ride for a full day on the ranch. Either way, contact us to get it on the calendar.

Real reviews. Real experiences.

“Our stay at the ranch was nothing short of amazing. We got to go on a peaceful, beautiful horseback ride, the whole experience was incredibly calming. Dinner was fantastic-perfectly cooked steak with vegetables and a potato, followed by little cheesecake bites that were the perfect dessert. They even made a fire for us afterward, which made the evening feel warm and cozy. We spent the night in one of their wagon rooms, and it was wonderfully comfortable, unique, and relaxing. They also worked really well with our schedule for booking everything, which made everything even easier and more enjoyable. Every single person we interacted with was welcoming, friendly, and extremely attentive. You can truly tell they care about making your experience special. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with great people, great food, and unforgettable experiences.”

“I can't say enough amazing things about this ranch!! From the beginning to the end hands down the best horseback riding I've experienced. It was my boyfriends 1st time on a horse and they were so good at getting him familiar with the horse and riding. The young gal Sophia was our guide and she did such an amazing job and took great pics!! The place was STUNNING!! The horses were so gentle so if you are hesitant, DON'T be! My girl Eden was such such a good girl!! I wish there were 10 stars because this place and their people deserve more than 5!! Can't wait to go back!!!”

“Incredible Experience! The staff was so friendly and helped outs in anyway possible. Definitely going back to ride again and maybe even stay a night. Book them if you ever want to ride for the first time or have ridden. It will be great experience for anyone. Thanks Logan and all the other helpers. Did a wonderful Job and made a memorable experience. They also take photos of you riding the horses as well so you don't have to worry about your shaky phone when riding. Have Fun!”
