Ideal Riding

Since the release of movies such as City Slickers and Lonesome Dove the appeal of the American West, riding horses, wide open spaces, herds of cattle, and western life-styles have become increasingly popular. While many travelers are satisfied with depictions of life in the West in the form of 'Dude' ranches with swimming pools and plodding trail rides, Ideal Riding provides the adventurous traveler the opportunity to experience the real West on a 5th generation "Working Cattle Ranch."
