Sweet Pepper Ranch

Sweet Pepper Ranch is a small-scale personalized guest ranch in the high desert of southwestern Idaho -- nestled in a rural agricultural setting. We raise Western performance horses and grass hay. We work hard every day to exercise and train our horses as well as run the day-to-day aspects of an environmentally friendly horse keeping operation--which include composting and manure management, non-toxic pest control, pasture management, drought-tolerant native landscaping, mud and dust control, track paddocks and equine enrichment--and more! We offer guest ranch packages as well as overnight B&B accommodations–for both horse and rider.

Guests can enjoy our solar heated pool, outdoor patio, wireless internet, evening bon fires, and our ranch atmosphere.

Our equestrian facilities include individual paddocks with attached runs (12’ x 52’), automatic waterers, feeders, rubber stall mats, a 200' x 300' outdoor sand arena, a 72’ x 120’ indoor arena, two round pens (one large), numerous trail obstacles, large-scale permanent outdoor obstacles, an outdoor washrack, as well as parking, port-a-potty, arena bleachers, and picnic table areas.

Matt Livengood trains and judges in NRHA reining as well as ranch riding and versatility ranch horse. He also trains and competes with mustangs.

Nearby activities abound from visiting rodeos and wineries to trail riding at sunset near waterfalls or hiking painted desert canyons. There are wildlife refuges to visit, hot springs to relax in, wilderness mountains to explore, scenic rivers to raft, railways to travel along--and North America’s largest concentration of breeding raptors to dazzle you.
