Activities
The Bucking S Ranch is located in the midst of traditional cattle ranch country in the heart of Wyoming. If you are looking for beautiful western scenery, sound ranch horses, abundant wildlife and a real working cattle ranch combined with well appointed western accommodations with your comfort in mind, this is the place for you. In order to provide you with a unique and personal ranch vacation we limit our guest numbers to a maximum of twelve guests per week. Our small guest numbers allow us to customize our horseback rides and other ranch related activities to your expectations and level of experience. Based on your riding experience every guest gets two horses assigned for the week out of our string of over 50 horses. Throughout the week you have the opportunity to experience a good mix of scenic pleasure rides and working cattle. Since we not only rotate our own cattle from pasture to pasture but also help neighboring ranches, we stay busy every given week of the season. The rides go cross country and there is no nose-to-tail riding. Depending on your comfort level you can walk, trot, and canter across tens of thousands of acres of diverse terrain. You will enjoy the stunning views, the vast uninhabited open spaces around us and the absolute absence of any signs or noise of modern day life. You can get involved in the ranch and cattle work as much or little as you like. Our ranch is located close to the North Platte River as well as three lakes, that offer excellent opportunities for swimming and fishing as an off ranch activity during the summer. On your own time there are endless opportunities for hiking and wildlife watching or you can practice your roping and trap shooting skills with our wranglers. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a unique and fun filled ranch vacation and outdoor adventure!
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. Roping lessons, throwing horse shoe, playing in the creek or exploring the old goldmine are some favorite spare time activities here at the ranch. We offer a 30% discount for children up to 12 years old and a 20% discount for teenagers.
Dining
The main ranch house, a beautiful log home, is open to our guests for family style dinning, entertaining and relaxing. During your ranch stay you will be treated to wholesome home cooked meals served buffet style. We serve em' up in cowboy sized portions including a full ranch breakfast, hot lunch or sack lunch if we go on all day rides and at night we always complement our deliciously varied main course with plenty of fresh vegetables, salads, homemade breads and deserts. The coffee and tea pot are always on, the cookie jar full and fresh fruits, lemonade and ice tea are available at all times. We recognize and appreciate guests' variance in appetites. With advance notice we will do our best to satisfy yours.
