| If you've ever longed to take part in the old days of ranching, this is your chance! |
| This is the "Real West" - remember Matt Dillon in in the series "Gunsmoke"? As the Marshal of Dodge City, Kansas, a small |
| town in the middle of a harsh territory, he brought law and order to a lawless frontier where lynch mobs were the norm. He |
| hds a reputation as a fair man and a quick draw. Cattle rustlers, fugitives, stagecoach bandits and gunslingers were among |
| the variety of villains that populate Dodge City and the surrounding territory. - Moore Ranch is 40 miles southeast of Dodge |
| City, the most famous cowtown of the West - and a working ranch as real as they come! |
| Every spring and fall, the ranch rounds-up and moves the Longhorn herd approximately 50 miles between summer and |
| winter pastures. These drives are authentic and not "put ons." Participants is limited to 10 only. This allows you to relate |
| one-on-one with the cowboys and take full advantage of the experience. They travel as much as possible over open |
| range, going up rugged hills, through creeks and over miles and miles of prairie. The cattle drovers sleep under the stars as |
| their horses and cattle grazes nearby. Experience the wide-open spaces as you help to drive the cattle to their new pasture. |
| In springtime the Longhorn cows will be driven back from winter pasture, in fall it's back to the winter pasture. It is about an |
| 18 mile drive and a 3 day event. One day is orientation to the ranch and the horse you will ride, and two days will be spent |
| driving cattle. |
