Core Objectives: The Basic Wrangler Weekend is for anyone who has an interest in being at the barns this summer (at either our Lodge or Ranch sites).
This weekend will focus on either refreshing you about or introducing you to our catch and saddle and trail protocols. We will cover how a typical day at summer camp would run: starting with bringing the herd in, catching horses, saddling, getting rides out safely, exploring the trails for everyone to be familiar with and end of day routine.
