Ranch Jack celebrates two decades through horses, rural skills and the community that grew around the centre in Le Moutoux. Local farmers and craftspeople fill the market, while riders contest the in-house horseback archery and Équifun finals before equestrian demonstrations. Younger guests can meet the ponies in a village designed for first rides, giving families a direct introduction to the ranch. Displays about Ranch Jack trace an unusual story that began in Martinique before crossing the Atlantic and taking root in the Jura. A Creole meal carries that Caribbean connection into the shared table, alongside refreshments and food available throughout the gathering. A raffle and the varied programme bring competitors, makers and neighbours together around the ranch’s anniversary.
