Activities
People are saying they've ridden more than they could ever imagine. NO HEAD TO TAIL RIDING HERE! Riding horses and working cattle is our main emphasis. Our horse program is based on the Buck Brannaman style of horsemanship; a method that is both gentle and effective and creates a unique bond between horse and rider. Once you are comfortable with your horse, you can take what you've learned and head out and move cattle all season long, further your riding skills with our well taught horses and experienced wranglers in the comfort of our 1st class outside arenas, and indoor arena, or out in the meadows. Practice working cattle sorting, cutting, and ranch penning, or just head out and explore new country (We don't always stick to trails). Be a part of starting our horses in the spring, and even learn to rope from the ground. With only about 15 to 19 people per week, and 6 wranglers, we can really give individual attention and tailor each day to you. Take advantage of our winter Buck Brannaman/Ray Hunt horsemanship program. Limited to 4 or 6 people per week, receive hands-on horsemanship from the ground up in our heated indoor arena; Cattle working and roping too! We also train horses for the public. Cross country skiing right from the ranch is spectacular. Other opportunities include mountain biking, hiking, and world-class trout fishing nearby. Simply relaxing is always an option.
Children
The ranch does not offer a structured children's program, however, special arrangements can be made.
Dining
The cheeriest cooks in the West'll greet you every morning and evening. Every meal is prepared with pride, and the refrigerator is always open to you. If you're hungry here it's your own fault! You'll enjoy fresh breads, salads, fruits, and vegetables. We pack our lunches for a new lunch spot every day. Special diet? Just let the cooks know and they'll accommodate you. We offer wine at dinner and other beverages, but if you have a favorite wine, pop or beer, we recommend picking some up on the way out to the ranch.
