What to Expect
Day 1
Arrive early afternoon, settle in, and meet the crew. Get paired with your horse and step into a horsemanship session focused on communication, feel, and timing. This is followed by hands-on cattle work from horseback, where riders will gather from the pasture and be introduced to branding and sorting.
Wrap up with dinner and an evening around the fire with the crew and fellow riders.
Day 2
Start with breakfast before heading out on a four-hour Ride & Paddle through untouched, rugged terrain with multiple viewpoints. The ride includes a lakeside picnic lunch and the option to canoe on Little Lake. Option for easier terrain for anyone who is not comfortable with the more difficult trails.
Spend the afternoon at the lake or join in with ranch chores.
Dinner is followed by roping practice and a relaxed evening around the bonfire.
Day 3
After breakfast, choose your final ride—a group lesson focusing on timing and feel or a leisurely trail ride.
Wrap up and depart at your own pace.
