CATTLE WRANGLING

Syracuse, New York

Saddle up the horses and experience a taste of the "Real West" in the East, at one of the premier New York Guest Ranches. Your cowboy adventure begins at the foot hills of the Adirondack wilderness amidst hundreds of acres of colorful rolling hills. We have awe inspiring views, deer, fox, coyotes, wild turkeys, eagles, hawks and occasional moose, all live in the area surrounding the ranch.  Cowboys will accompany you on horse back rides you won't forget. Learn from experienced Wranglers about ranching, cattle, horses, and cowboy living. 

 

SAMPLE ITINERARY

Day 1

2:00pm - 7:00pm – Make the drive up to Syracuse, getting into the ranch around sundown. While everyone else filters in you can explore the ranch, and get a leg up on the others by examining the horses to find out which will fly like Seabiscuit on the trail tomorrow.

10:30pm - 11:30pm – Sit around the fire with the gang sharing stories. Grab a bite to eat and settle in for tomorrow will be a long day of ranch life.

 

 Day 2

8:00am - 9:00am – Get up and get breakfast at the lodge and mossy on over to the stable to get acquainted with the horses. Try to avoid the one that looks like he might send you flying at the first opportunity. 

10:00am - 4:00pm – Hit the trail, locate the cattle and learn how to work as a team to move them back and forth across the property.  After your backside is sore enough, head back to the stable and grab lunch. Once you have had your fill we will teach you a bit about how to handle a rope among other cowboy responsibilities

4:00pm - 7:00pm – Time to head over to the shooting range to see who is the crack shot in the bunch. We will alternate with marksmanship and skeet competitions. 

7:00pm - 9:00pm – Grab a shower and head over to the lodge for a Chuckwagon BBQ feast, much deserved after a hard days work. Food never tasted so good, especially among the picturesque scenery of upstate New York. Take a hike after dinner and see if you can track that moose with your new skills.

9:00pm - 12:00am – Relax, enjoy the company of friends and stars, thinking about how you wish you could avoid heading back to the city and the daily grind on Monday.

 Day 3

10:00am – 11:00am – After breakfast, head back into town via the scenic route for your chosen methods of departure after a weekend to remember.
