Horseback riding is probably the first thing that comes to your mind when you think, “dude ranch”. Saddling up and heading down the trail, listening to the horses feet hit the ground, can be very therapeutic. It’s good for the soul.

Typical Monday Morning Trail Rides – “Get to know your horse.”

Scooby is one of our kid's horse that has been her for about 10 years.

The Ozark rocks make for a scenic ride.

"Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys..."

Ookii (Anatolian Shepherd) decided to take a rest and hang out with me while I took photos.

You will ride past or through the herd of goats probably more than once.

Rusty has been her for the past 8 years. We purchased him at an auction from an Amish boy.

Before Scott and Jennifer Hoover (wranglers) returned to Utah, Scott needed to design something for his internship. He thought for awhile and came up with the idea of designing another Via feratta the build on the ranch. This new via feratta is quite different from our first. It is quite challenging and we think you are really going to love it when you try it out.

Scott and Jason getting right to work.

Building it was just as much as an adventure as doing the course.

Some of the photos you will need to click on to see exactly what you are looking at.

The Cable Bridge

Even the Johnson kids got in on some of the work.

There are a lot of eliminates on this course that are not shown.

Here we are in June, oh wait, I mean July. Maybe it has gone by fast because of the great time we are having.

The steak cookout.

Scott over seeing the kid’s arena ride.

If you stay long enough you start to look like the locals.

We have enough berry’s on the ranch to keep you full all week!
Blackberries and raspberries galore.

All of the baby animals are growing up! The puppies have been weaned and almost all of them are in their new homes. Thistle is growing like a weed. She is being halter broke and learning her manners daily. The kids, of the four legged kind, have started doing their part in the brush cleaning department.
