About
Located in Omemee, just a short drive from the GTA. Hope Ranch Retreat is a fully functioning ranch, boarding facility and lesson barn. The Hope Ranch Retreat is home to the Authentic Cowboy Experience. You and your group can book a riding lesson, join our western gaming activities or learn how to rope!
Family owned and operated, the Hope Ranch Retreat is dedicated to the owner’s late uncle Conrad Fournier, who was the inspiration behind the owner’s dreams. He said something the resonated with her, on the last time she ever saw him. He said "Your dreams are worth chasing. Your family is all you should ever need and the rest will fall into place.” -Conrad Fournier 1952-2012
