About Program
If you are passionate about horses & want to improve your horsemanship, this amazing program includes riding & groundwork, cattle working from the ground & from horseback (team penning, rounding up, sorting), & off-ranch activities during downtime, like the Cody Nite Rodeo, soaking in the hot springs, or a visit to Yellowstone National Park. Build on whatever experience you bring to the program. Your days are planned around your goals, which you elaborate for us in your Application, with some unscheduled events thrown in, like the birth of a calf or a foal. Other opportunities to observe real ranch work include animal care & maintenance like de-worming, vaccinating, & shoeing the horses. Get hands-on!
Arrive on Sunday. We meet all flights into Cody, WY that day. Stay 1, 2 or 3 weeks. Monday morning of your stay, you'll be oriented to the ranch & horses, familiarized with our horsemanship techniques, then matched with your horse to head out on the trail to experience the West!
