Western cattle drive

Join us for a beautiful riding vacation, an adventurous cattle round up, and a time filled with lasting memories.

We’ll begin at the Ranch with horsemanship lessons, working with cattle, getting your seat and making sure you and your horse are a match. Then, we’ll head out for four days and three nights to our base camp located on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. You’ll ride as far as the eye can see over thousands of acres of Indian Territory. You’ll gather cattle, driving them over the open prairie and to the corrals to brand calves and care for the herd. You’ll feel like a real cowhand riding out long horns, cows, bulls, and possibly even bucking horses.

After returning to the Ranch from the cattle drive, relax in the hot tub or by the fire, then enjoy a homemade dinner you will not forget. The next day, adventure to the Canadian border for one last all-day ride and enjoy the lush, open meadows of Swisher Lake.

Package includes

  • Full accommodations, including meals
  • Four days of intense riding and cattle round up
  • All necessary equipment & sleeping gear for cattle drive
  • Trail riding, team penning, and horsemanship instruction
  • Campfires, cowboy stories, and tall tales
