THE basic RANCH BIRTHDAY EXPERIENCE

• $400 | 2-hour private, guided ranch experience
• Hosted inside a working ranch barn at Chasing Dreams Ranch in Trent, Texas
• Up to 15 children, each with one accompanying adult (maximum 30 total guests)
• Guided photo opportunities with miniature Highland and Highland-cross calves
• Calm, simple ranch celebration — intentionally relaxed and thoughtfully paced
• Optional add-ons: tables, chairs, ranch-themed goody bags, décor enhancements, and Chasing Dreams Ranch merchandise (shirts, hats, and CDR items)
• Liability waivers required for all guests (parent or legal guardian for minors)

Not every celebration needs to be long or elaborate.

The Basic Ranch Birthday Experience is designed for families who want a meaningful, memorable ranch celebration in a shorter, more affordable format — while still enjoying the charm, space, and authenticity of a working ranch.

Held inside our ranch barn, this two-hour experience provides time for photos, cake, and connection without the extended length or exclusive activities included in our Deluxe experience.

This is not a traditional party venue or entertainment event.

With two guided hours on the ranch, guests enjoy a calm, structured experience that includes guided photo opportunities with our miniature Highland and Highland-cross calves, time to gather and celebrate, and space to enjoy the ranch environment without feeling rushed.

Because this is a working ranch, other animals may naturally be visible or move through the barn during the experience. These unscripted moments — curious calves, quiet laughter, photos that feel real instead of staged — are part of what makes a ranch birthday special.

• Two-hour private, guided Basic Ranch Birthday Experience
• Guided photo opportunities with select miniature Highland and Highland-cross cattle
• Use of a designated gathering area within the ranch barn for food, cake, gifts, and photos
• Astroturf flooring in the barn alley for a clean, comfortable gathering space

The $400 experience fee reflects private use of the designated ranch space and guided ranch presence during your reserved time.

Furniture, décor, food, keepsakes, and event coordination are not included unless selected as optional add-ons.

Optional add-ons — including tables, chairs, ranch-themed goody bags, décor enhancements, and Chasing Dreams Ranch merchandise — may be selected during booking or available for purchase on-site while supplies last.
