Horse and rider at Vonfidel Ranch in Sri Lanka at dawn

Who We Are

A working equestrian sanctuary shaped by trust, discipline, and uncompromising respect for the horse.

The Vonfidel Way

Vonfidel Ranch was not built as a tourism product. It was built as a working discipline—one that places the horse ahead of the rider, welfare ahead of spectacle, and long-term integrity ahead of convenience.

Our operating standard is formalised in the Vonfidel Doctrine, which governs training, handling, guest access, and every structural decision made on the Ranch.

What Defines Us

We operate with deliberate restraint. No forced obedience. No artificial performance. No gimmicks built for attention.

Our Purpose

Vonfidel Ranch exists to demonstrate that ethical horsemanship is not an ideal but an operational requirement.

The Vonfidel Doctrine governs this single, place-bound ranch in Sri Lanka.
