About Us
Cherry Wood is a working farm

Inn Keeper and Trail Boss, Pepper Fewel invites you to come experience the
spring blossoms or marvel at the fall colors. Stroll through the orchards;
take a bike tour or horseback ride to the many wineries within a 10-mile
radius. Be as active or as restful as you like. Savor her country life in a
relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Ranch-raised in the orchard and wine country of eastern Washington, Pepper not only knows her Cabernets from her Syrahs, she knows her horses. A lifelong horsewoman, she has competed in cutting and other ranch horse events. She studied horsemanship with renowned trainer Ray Hunt, and his protégé Buck Brannaman, subject of the award-winning documentary, “Buck”, who served as technical consultant for the movie The Horse Whisperer. Pepper has hosted numerous training clinics at Cherry Wood, where some of the country’s most admired trainers have come to share their knowledge and love of horses.
Tiffany Fewel was destined to become a horse wrangler. As Pepper’s daughter, she grew up horseback and in the company of legendary horseman, Ray Hunt, the original proponent of what was to become known as natural horsemanship. Ray’s views about the horse-human relationship and the idea that the horse was the teacher, not the human, formed Tiffany’s understanding of horsemanship long before the approach was popular.
This background, along with her Feldenkrais training, gives Tiffany a unique insight into both horses and people. It has helped her recognize how a deepened self-awareness can also deepen the horse-human connection and allow people and horses enjoy each other even more. After several years away from the family farm, Tiffany has returned to take over Cherry Wood’s horse rides and horse retreats.
