Learn the cowboy art of herding, corralling and sorting range cattle; the excitement of cutting and penning cows with a well trained, no nonsense, working cow horse. Live the adventure and challenge of team penning; three riders cutting designated cows from a herd then driving them into the pen for the best time...America's fastest growing equestrian sport! And of course, try your hand at throwing a rope.
Designed for the vacationer with limited time or those who just want to sample the experience, we have packed a short visit with all of the details arranged for a carefree weekend escape.
Throw your bed roll on a comfortable bunk in your own canvas tent at our cow camp where the camp cook whips up near gourmet meals (sorry, no beans and hotdogs). Relax around the campfire in the evening with amiable companions and traditional cowboy beverages as the coyotes howl on the hill side. (they are always close by.) Matched up to a suitable cow pony from the ranch remuda, the days adventure begins. We groom and saddle, while listening to details of the care, handling and riding of the western ranch horse. A brief explanation of the principals of herding cows...then we are off over the rocky, pine covered hills to locate the grazing herd.
