Prepare For Your Dude & Guest Ranch Vacation

Arrive Ready. Ride Confident. Start your western journey before you even set foot in the stirrup.

Before you arrive, we want to give you a head start — because the more you know about western riding and horsemanship before you get there, the more you will enjoy every single moment once you do.

— Before You Arrive —

Here is what you will discover inside the app.

1

Explore the Trail Sessions

Hone in on the app's Trail Sessions to get a feel for what it's really like to be out on a western trail — the terrain, the pace, the quiet moments, and the encounters you may come across along the way. Learn how to handle water crossings, hill climbs, wildlife, unexpected obstacles and how to keep your horse calm, forward and relaxed the whole way home.

Understanding Your Horse

The Horse Care Library explains how horses think, communicate and behave. Understanding your horse before you meet them makes every interaction calmer, safer and more rewarding from your very first moment together.

3

Skills Assessment

Complete your personal riding skills assessment in the app. Know exactly where you are starting from — and walk through the ranch gates with a clear picture of what you want to work on during your stay.

Browse the Trail Ride Prep checklist so you know what to take, what to wear and what to expect on a western trail ride. No surprises. Just excitement.
