The ranch is located in the Sierra
foothills near the historic mining
town of Columbia, CA. Accessed
from Highway 49 the ranch is only 10 minutes from Sonora
and 15 minutes from Angels Camp. The elevation avoids
the worst of the summer heat and winter snow so the
riding is enjoyable all year round! For those traveling with
horses, the ranch offers overnight stabling, with hotels and
camping nearby.
The Flying R Ranch is a family operated
business. Owned by Royce and Marge Rickman
and managed by their daughter, Marilyn,
the ranch strives to meet the needs of its clients with a personal touch. Royce, a
United Airlines pilot fell in love with the beauty of Tuolumne county and purchased the
ranch in 1970 in order to breed Appaloosa horses. When he retired from breeding,
the ranch was opened as a boarding and training facility.
