Our story

Grateful beyond words

Major's Place was honored to be a part of the California Joyride experience. A couple of days before production we got the opportunity to host about 20 production crew members at the ranch and introduce them to the horses.

Every person we met during the experience was so kind and committed. We are so proud of our team and are grateful to Will, Patti, Visit California, Discover Siskiyou and everyone involved on the production team to make this happen.

We are grateful beyond words!
