Activities
Starting off, Hip our main cowboy will help choose a horse for you which will best suit your needs. Most of the TX horses are registered quarter horses. The horses know their jobs, from trailing and cutting out herd to roping and chasing down strays. They are very sure-footed and they know how to pick a path with ease in all range terrains and it's eliments. When riding for cattle, it doesn't take long before you'll feel at home in the saddle and at ease with your mount.
Our daily riding activities are exciting, fun, full and genuine. For beginner and/or intermediate riders, we offer unique, fun, very scenic rides involving less distance and less terrain. For experienced riders, we offer much of the same with greater distance and terrain allowing for an exceptional, unlimited ride.
Our daily ranching and livestock activities are determined by calf growth through out our season plus daily or seasonal needs and requirements. Guests are welcome and encouraged to join in the fun! You'll have the freedom to use your horse with cattle as neccesary. Our cowboys are happy to help show you how it's done!
We want you to feel like part of the family and one of the cowboys!
Our days range from riding the necessary distance it takes to begin rounding up and gathering cattle to feasible working location out on the range. During cattle drives weeks we cut out cow/calf pairs or cows and bulls as necessary during cattle drives. After cattle are gathered during most seasonal weeks we begin roping in the herd for branding, ear tagging, vaccinating, doctoring, castrating and dehorning. We check range pastures for our strays that need to be driven back with in the ranch boundry pastures. Also any out side strays we drive back to their proper range pastures too. We also drive our horses to and from camp each day this is a daily morning and evening drive. If you would like to help join in, just ask our wrangler! Please keep in mind our riding and ranch activities are not compulsary, your welcome to sit back and watch or enjoy the ride. Your also welcome to ride on your own!
At the close of an eventful day there is nothing like riding back to camp for a great ranch style home-cooked meal. We enjoy reminiscing the day around a warm open campfire, while listening to the coyotes howling in the distance. We also like to practice roping so you can count on a roping match or two, what ever it may be! Take a step back in time - away from it all for an authentic true west experience you'll never forget.
