cattle drive Fall 2006
ACTIVITIES

You can join us for horse or cattle drives and for working ranch weeks. All with a lot of horseback riding.

Dryhead Ranch is adding to our regular schedule some great new horse activities. Mini-Horse Drives will happen at random times all season and weekly horse clinics will be part of our regular weekly riding schedule. We encourage everyone to try their hand at imprinting one of our weanling colts or working, under Mike’s careful instructions, with our yearling colts to get them gentle enough to ride. We have had thrilling success with our horse program and so we want to share it with our guests. Bring your rope and your saddle and all your riding gear. We will have team oriented activities as we sort cattle in the correl and experience roping from a horse when you are ready.

Dryhead Ranch has an authentic Buffalo Jump just down the canyon. Walking there after supper is a great experience as we go back in history 500 years to when the buffalo and the Indians roamed our grassland country. We drive through the Pryor Wild Horse Refuge as we travel to the ranch, we often see wild mustangs. Along with the riding and working with horses we have lots of cowboy history to share.

We will be camping often this season and eating our lunch away from the ranch so that we can accomplish the cow and horse riding that makes us an authentic working ranch experience. We are looking forward to sharing our western lifestyle with you. No phone. No fax. No tight schedules. You’ll love it.

We would love to teach all of our guests, if they wish, the basic skills of roping. Bring your guitar, if you want, and share our campfire. Brush up on your storytelling and jokes --- getting to know each other is a #1 priority.
You will have the opportunity to photograph an historic Buffalo Jump, Indian hieroglyphics, wild life, National Wild Horse Range, Big Horn sheep and remote mountain and canyon country.

Quite often we eat lunch out where the cowboys are riding! Our chuck wagon lunch is always welcome.

We are riding 5 days and Saturday is the day we settle accounts and as we drive to Billings we take in the historic sites and the Mustang museum which is new in Lovell.

No phone, no fax, no clocks, no tight schedules; just lean on the fence and chat while we gather and feed the horses on a crisp fall morning.
