Ranches and Cattle Drives
Ranch stays and Cattle drives
On a ranch holiday a well trained working horse, a herd of cows, sheep or horses, a wild immense landscape and a way of life all combine to offer the chance to become a real cowboy. There is a world full of equestrian ranching traditions to experience and these ranch holidays speak to riders who are looking for real and authentic experiences and wish to be completely involved in the work of a cattle ranch. On a working ranch the daily activities are often determined by the needs of the farmer and the season, and cattle drives will only run at certain times of year. Some ranch holidays focus more on trail rides through spectacular scenery rather than working cattle but Western riding is the usual style. Ranch holidays are not restricted to the USA either - you can herd horses in Chile, round-up sheep in Iceland or work with chagras in Ecuador.
