Wyoming Horse Property, Horse
Farms, and
Ranches in the desirable state of Wyoming
Millions of tourists speed through Wyoming each year on the few
large highways headed to Yellowstone and other points of interest.
They experience little of the real life of the state which is mostly
hidden far from the busy highways and only have contact with gas
station attendants and restaurant waitresses. There are some pseudo
ranches close by the highways which cater to passing motorists who
are novice riders. They stay mostly at a walk with lines of nose to
tail riders and see only the outward trappings of ranch life; big
hats, jangling spurs, sing-along’s and barbecues.
To experience the picturesque life of a Wyoming ranch one must dig
deeper and get well off the highways. Many genuine working ranches
raising horses and cattle still exist in the back country. A few of
them welcome guests who want to experience the picturesque life of a
Wyoming ranch and do some horseback riding calibrated to their level
of ability on well trained, athletic horses in spectacular country.
Serious horse people love to explore
parts of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem near the Continental
Divide which is the largest wild area left in the lower 48 states.
The best way to experience the full majesty of this country and its
wild kingdom is by traveling on horseback with pack animals to set
up camps in the heart of the wilderness. The spectacular passes
between mountain valleys are between 11,000 and 12,000 ft. The
mighty rivers of America have their beginnings here as tiny springs
on the mountainside. Each valley has its own distinct character with
meadows of lupine in one and craggy cliffs in another. One or two
nights the camp will stay in the same spot to allow guests to ride
out for the day, hike or fish. This wonderful adventure provides an
opportunity to see this glorious, untamed landscape which is
unchanged since the early explorers found it.
