What to expect
You’ll spend four days riding into the most remote parts of the V6 Ranch, working alongside our wranglers to gather and move cattle, and camping under the stars.
After a welcome dinner on the first night, you’ll be paired with your horse for the drive. Then you’ll head up the mountain, riding 7+ miles to Mustang Camp where you’ll be based for the next two nights. Be prepared for some saddle sores because each day you’ll ride for 5-7 hours, moving cattle across 20,000 acres of steep. rugged terrain. On the last night unwind around the campfire with music from a local musician.
