Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO YOU PRICE YOUR TRIPS SO AFFORDABLY?

We are not a fancy dude outfit. The emphasis is on instruction and lots of time in the saddle.

This is Wyoming and the Ranch is:

A RUSTIC WORKING RANCH (simple, sage-brushy, subject to the elements, no amenities, stay in cabins or teepees on a first-come-first-served basis, bring your own sleeping bag, pillow and towels);
HORSE-ORIENTED (horses and riders are carefully matched, participation in orientation and safety checks is mandatory, ride and bond with your horse, experience the Western lifestyle and country from the back of a horse);
AUTHENTIC (occasional long hours, training in proper techniques of horsemanship, sometimes dusty, hot, tiring, sometimes relaxing and laid back, and most authentic of all -- with cowboy Nate Brown);
FLEXIBLE (tailored to your riding ability and interests; riders may opt out of activities to take a half day or all day break to relax, or take in activities in the surrounding area at the end of the ride day);
PEACEFUL (yes, just like in the movies -- scenic rides, cool evenings, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, campfires and stories, exhaustion and exhilaration).

WHAT DO YOUR PRICES INCLUDE?

Instruction, terrific horses, tack, delicious meals, cabin or teepee accommodations.

WHAT OTHER ACTIVITIES ARE IN THIS AREA OF WYOMING?

In Thermopolis, the World's Largest Hot Springs for soaking, swimming and sliding, as well as the Dinosaur Center. In Cody, the Nite Rodeo, Buffalo Bill Historical Museum, shops and galleries, and access to Yellowstone National Park, where buffalo, elk, moose, deer, bear and other wildlife roam.

WILL THE RATES REMAIN THE SAME?

Prices are guaranteed only for the current year.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES?

We do not offer job opportunities, but Interns may request references for other ranches.

WHERE DO YOU GET THESE GENTLE HORSES?

Horses have been the love and focus of Nate's life for decades. Nate and MaeCile believe there are good horses of every breed and try to find them to add them to the string.

Over many years of being very selective, our excellent string of gentle horses has been acquired through our own breeding program, local auctions and friends who know about Nate's expertise with horses and call him.
