HOME BASE
The Ranch
In 2026 WINDRIDE moved to Xiaozhongdian in Shangri-La, at the foot of Bigu Tianchi.
On an open stretch of grassland we built a ranch out of timber, black steel, rammed earth and Tibetan rugs — somewhere to sleep, to eat, and to stare into the fire.
THE PADDOCK
The Paddock
Our own paddock inside a ring of timber rails, with mountains all around. Beginners take their first lesson here; the horses sunbathe, roll and rest.
THE STABLES
The Stables
A long, airy steel-framed stable where every horse has its own stall and hay. Each morning starts here: feed, grooming, checking every hoof.
THE TACK ROOM
The Tack Room
Saddles, bridles, saddle blankets and helmets live here. Every piece of tack is checked before every ride. That’s the rule.
THE CLUBHOUSE
The Clubhouse
A two-storey timber house with the WINDRIDE horse on its wall. Climb the outside stair to a deck that looks over the whole ranch.
FIRESIDE
The Fireside Lounge
Floor-to-ceiling glass, a cast-iron stove and a few wooden chairs. Come back from the ride, warm up, drink something hot and watch the mountains.
THE PORCH
The Porch
Afternoon sun pours in through the gap in the mountains. A small table, two chairs — made for doing nothing at all.
THE TABLE
Kitchen & Table
An open kitchen and a long wooden table, tack and maps on the walls. Xinghe, one of our founders, spent seven years as a chef. You’ll eat well.
STAY
Stay the Night
Rammed-earth walls, an arched roof and a wall of glass. Lie in bed and the paddock is right outside.
THE FLAG
Our Flag
One name, in Tibetan and in Chinese. When the wind picks up it cracks above the ranch — that’s what WINDRIDE means.
