| RECREATION |
|
Our main activity is horseback riding including cattle drives as well as scenic rides. We are an authentic working cattle ranch and you will spend plenty of time in the saddle being out riding with our trained wranglers. Depending on your experience, we walk, trot, and canter across tens of thousands of acres - there is no nose to tail riding on the ranch. You will enjoy the companionship of a good horse, the variety of terrain, beautiful vistas, interesting geologic formations and abundant wildlife. You can get involved in the ongoing ranch work as much or as little as you like- e.g. sorting, branding and doctoring cattle or even fixing fences if you like to get an hands on experience. Of course, the area invites you to all kinds of outdoor activities. The local North Platte River offers excellent world class fishing. There is also an opportunity to go hiking, rock climbing, practice a bit of trap shooting, or just relax and view some of the various wildlife in the area.

| FOR CHILDREN |
|
We enjoy having children of all ages on the ranch and children eight years and older can participate on our regular rides if they are accompanied by an adult. We will be happy to provide instructional rides as well as shorter rides. Yard and table games are out at all times for play time. Other than the riding activities we do not offer structured programs for children but they are free to explore and enjoy the various aspects of daily ranch life here in Wyoming.

|
| FOOD/LIQUOR |

The main ranch house is open to our guests for family style dinning. Three home style cooked meals are prepared everyday from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sack lunches are also prepared for some of the long days of riding. So bring your appetite with you as we serve up some delicious cowboy sized meals to keep your energy going. Wine and liquor is not sold here at the ranch, but you are more than welcome to bring your own to the ranch.

| REGION/CUSTOMS |
|
The Bucking S Ranch is located in the heart of Wyoming "The Cowboy State". We are situated along the Seminoe-Alcova Scenic Backway at an altitude of 6,000 to over 8,000 feet and are surrounded by the foothills of the Seminoe and Shirley Mountains. The next town, Alcova, is over 30 miles away and we are in the middle of open range cattle country - out here cattle have right of way even on the road and they make use of it. You can go on endless rides and all you will encounter are cattle pastures, mountains with beautiful natural rock formations, creeks, lakes, abundant wildlife and rugged beauty all around.
