There are numerous opportunities to work cattle at the Laramie River Dude
Ranch. We offer biweekly opportunities to gather cattle on our ranch
and learn team penning, scheduled all-day cattle drives with our neighboring
ranches, and occasional unscheduled half and full-day drives with our
neighbors throughout the summer.
Unscheduled events with our neighbors take place when they need assistance
moving cattle from pasture to pasture. The timing of these events
depends upon the weather, the grass, and the cattle so we're not able to
know in advance when the drive will take place. But we have been able
to schedule a number of drives with our neighbors at the Hohnholz Ranch.
Their cattle are moved to and then collected from mountain pastures on
specific dates.
All-day cattle drives are suitable for riders of intermediate ability and
above. You will be in the saddle from early morning until early
evening with just a few breaks for snacks and lunch on the trail.
Because of the more advanced nature of this activity, we require a seven
night stay so that you can get to know your horse and we may get to know you
and your abilities.
