American ranch holidays

[JaneyB]

We are considering this for next year, so far i've looked at www.ranchrider.com and got their brochure, which is good.

Anyone any other suggestions? I'm not sure whether we'll do the true live on a live ranch holiday, or one where we partake in bits and also do other activities.

A friend of mine goes to the White Stallion ranch in Arizona every year www.wsranch.com ( I think, if not google it ) I don't think its a 'proper' cowboy ranch but you can ride till you drop, and I think does barrel racing ect!

Barrel racing? excellent! Cheers i'll have a look

Just a word of warning, she normally goes November time as it is really, really hot out there and check the temeratures for other times of the year though! It does look fabby!

I'm not sure when we're going to go, as we're thinking we'd like to participate in ranch life we'll probably go when round up time takes place

I've been to the Tanque Verde ranch and Bellota Ranch - they are absolutely FAB!!!
Tanque Verde is a 'dude' type ranch but definately 5 star! Can't fault it.
Bellota is a working ranch that gives you a ttally different experience.
We did 4 days at TQ and 3 at B, which gave us the best of both worlds.
I had won the holiday through HORSE magazine and it was Ranch Rider that organized it all for us.
I could go on forever about how brilliant the holiday was, but i might bore you!

If you want anymore info pm me!

Ash did you do it through ranch rider? If so, I notice the holiday's either come as working ranches, guest ranches or resort ranches, and I notice that yours were all three, what did you do?

My boss is going to Wyoming next year for a real cattle drive, but all the money for it goes to ILPH, which I think is a great ideA. It's a week long I think, but you need to be over 18. Should take a wee look on ILPH website.
