Horseback Riding - Not included in lodge rental fee

All ranch guests will want to spend some time learning about and riding around the ranch property on one of our fine horses. Our expert guides have grown up on horses and will give you some basic training and horsemanship instruction at the riding arena and then lead you on a scenic ride around the ranch. Guests are allowed to share riding time, but everyone who is riding a horse must receive the basic training and meet the requirements below. Please call for availability and scheduling.

Cattle Herding & Branding - Not included in lodge rental fee
Occasionally seasonal cattle herding & branding activities (Spring) may be available according to ranch operations and availability. Guests who have completed the basic horsemanship training and proven some skill in riding are allowed to participate in an actual cattle-herding activity. Participants will receive further training on how to lead and maneuver cattle – and then be given a chance to practice their new skills on the ranch property. Our master cowboys will lead you on a short cattle drive, moving actual ranch cattle. The cattle herding experience must be registered for well in advance and is subject to availability. Maximum number of riders for one herding activity is 5. The cattle herding experience usually takes about 3 – 4 hours. Cost per rider is $60.00. Please call for availability and scheduling.
