The Alvord Ranch Experience : May 12-16, 2008 This Week is Full.
Due to popular demand, we've added a SECOND WEEK!
The Alvord Ranch Experience Second Session:
May 19-24, 2008 This Week is Full.
Spend your days riding the range at the base of the Steens mountains, roping and branding cattle in the meadows and visiting a mineral hot springs in the evenings to soak your roping arm and your saddle weary muscles.
Participants will feel history all around them as they stay on the ranch that was once the headquarters for Miller & Lux, and bunk in rock cabins and keep their horses in rock corrals built by the Basques who worked the ranch.
During the week participants will ride out at daylight with the crew and help with such things as sorting and branding rodear style, gathering and trailing cattle. There will be opportunities to improve such skills as ranch roping, cattle handling techniques and horsemanship.
Riders have a choice of bringing their own horses and keeping them at the ranch, horses need to be shod and conditioned for 5 days of riding over all types of terrain and averaging 8 hours as day in the saddle. The weather can range from rain or snow to 95 degrees F so check the forecast and pack accordinly. Horses and tack can be provided for overseas or participants traveling great distance at an additional cost of $100/day. This opportunity is for people who want to enjoy a beautiful remote setting, the buckaroo culture, and learn ranching and livestock handling skills.
Participants should also note that the world famous Jordan Valley Big Loop Rodeo is also held during this time, May 17-18 in nearby Jordan Valley.
Hurry, there are limited accomodations, and only a limited number of participants will be accepted! Send in your deposit today to hold your spot for this special experience. Or call Martin at 208-337-8438 for more details.
