| Horseback Adventure | Code: | 366 |
| The ultimate adventure for any experienced rider! |
| Experience the Old West - just as the cowboys do! Follow us to one of the most beautiful areas of the West and find |
| excellent riding, adventure and cowboy romantic, just like in the old movies! Help the cowboys drive a herd of horses across |
| the prairie and find out about the secrets of a horse whisperer - "Wild West at its Best!". |
| For seven days we’ll be saying good-bye to civilization and immense into the life of a cowboy. From dry meadows to the |
| tree-covered mountaintops of the Rockies - this part of Idaho, bordering Montana, has it all. Elk, antelopes and wapitis are |
| making their home here, just like many majestic birds. Find the West we hear about in the songs of the cowboys. |
| The ranch takes care of more than 2000 head of cattle and bison (buffaloes) and you might have the opportunity to help with |
| the cattle work while getting ready for the horse drive. After gathering the two and three-year-old colts, you’ll be traveling |
| with them across the land, spending the nights in camp, eating meals cooked in a "Dutch Oven" and prepared on the "Chuck |
| Wagon". On the last evening of the horse drive we return to camp. Time permitting the rancher will demonstrate the work of |
| a horse whisperer while training one of the colts to become a work horse, and experience long to remember! The last |
| evening in camp will be celebrated with a good-bye party, where everyone shares their stories and memories of a |
| "once-in-a-lifetime" adventure! |
