Our horseback adventures are not to be confused with dull "nose to tail" trail rides. A lifetime of outfitting experience has taught us that you will appreciate riding gentle, energetic, savvy Quarter Horses from the remuda and sharing a common bond with your clean-cut Cowboy wranglers. The rides are safe and controlled, yet physically active. Where practical, riders ride abreast and extended gaits such as the lope are favored, when and where appropriate.
Open-Range horsemanship philosophies and methods are practiced and taught throughout the week. The instruction is not formal, but ongoing, practical application whenever you are around the saddle Horses. You will be a much more confident and knowledgeable horsewoman or horseman at the conclusion of your horseback experience.
One of the greatest benefits that you will enjoy when you choose our company is the intimate, exclusive experience that is not often found with guest ranches, pack outfits, working ranches or other trail rides where 12-50 riders are common. A smaller group means more personal attention, more privacy and more individual space. You won’t get lost in a crowd; group size is limited to 8 enthusiastic riders per week.
You will live out on the trail in a full-amenity, vehicle-supported, wilderness-style camp. Sleep out under the stars or in a roomy, weather-proof canvas tent. A thick foam pad under your bedroll, plus the pure Wyoming air, promises you a good nights’ sleep. Wash off the trail dust at the end of the days’ ride in a hot shower.
The Cowboy kitchen is the heart of the camp, where your camp cook uses Dutch ovens over an open fire to serve you hearty, western-style meals. Settle into your camp easy chair, pour yourself a cup of steaming hot Cowboy coffee and enjoy a varied menu with fresh meats, crisp salads, homemade biscuits and breads, and, if you still have room, desserts made from scratch. At nightfall, take your favorite beverage and join the crew around the campfire. Enjoy old-time and contemporary western music and poetry, and maybe a few good stories from your wranglers. Some of these tales might even be true!
When you to ride with us, you will be horseback in the midst of the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, with 100-mile vistas stretching between the horizons. Ride along the Continental Divide as it crosses the Red Desert or into the Honeycombs badlands wilderness of the Great Divide Basin. Find yourself along the banks of the Sweetwater River as it winds its way like a ribbon of refreshment through the high, cool desert.
This tall and uncut Country is the home of the true western perspective, with historic trails, rustlers' cabins, abandoned Pony Express stations, gold mines, ghost towns and ancient Native American campsites. Cowboys, cattle and wild horses are still a part of this landscape, much as they have been for over one hundred years.
The fences are few and far between, "civilization" is a long way off and the freedom to ride is limited only by your desire. We personally invite you to join us for this unique horseback experience. You have our word that you will go home with a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of self. So get ready to pull your cinch, catch a stirrup and ride with us!
