Less than an hour from Cody, Wyoming, guest ranch vacation gives gap year and other vacationers an opportunity to really enjoy horses and riding regardless of your age, background, or horseback riding experience. It is called a guest ranch vacation to distinguish it from a “dude ranch vacation” and to emphasize Horseworks Wyoming's focus on horses and riding versus other amenities. There is no particular background or riding experience is necessary because Horseworks Wyoming has horses to match riders’ levels.
Horseworks Wyoming's rustic cabins are located between Meeteetse and Thermopolis near the former town of Grass Creek. There are six cabins for two to four people with twin beds or bunk beds. Shared bathrooms are in the lodge, a short walk from the cabins. Also located in the lodge are the laundry, kitchen, and a sitting area with wood stove, all available 24 / 7. Cabins have heat and electric, but no running water.
Horseworks, a working horse and cattle ranch, has a spacious open-area lodge, including a sitting area with a wood burning stove for relaxing prior to going to your cabin for the night. The lodge, including bathrooms / showers, great room, kitchen, laundry, and library, is accessible 24 / 7 to guests who stay in the cabins. Guests are not allowed in the corrals or the livestock.
This is a rustic, no-frills, working ranch located 23 - 36 miles from the nearest towns on a well-maintained gravel road. The facility is off-grid - Horseworks Wyoming has solar-powered electricity, but no electric or phone lines running into the ranch. Limited Wi-Fi is available to check emails, but not for streaming. Cell phone signal is available in lodge only and there is no TV.
Typical ranch days may include long and short trail rides, wrangling the horses from pasture before the morning rides, rounding up cows, and team penning in the arena. You may try your horse at barrel racing or stay overnight at cow camp and cookout around the campfire.
You may also sleep under star-filled Wyoming night skies and observe Horseworks Wyoming's work with foals and horses to see how their natural horsemanship training methods create the great horses you ride during your stay.
Horseworks Wyoming works with you to schedule off-ranch activities to round out your special Wyoming experience. You may enjoy the Cody Nite Rodeo, a soak at the hot springs, an overnight trip to Yellowstone National Park, and other opportunities unique to Wyoming. Take it all in during your stay!
Note: Helmets are required and all participants are encouraged to wear helmets, as per Certified Horsemanship Association guidelines.
Horseworks Wyoming, a working horse ranch located in Grass Creek between Cody and Thermopolis, Wyoming, USA, near beautiful Yellowstone National Park, is on the Absaroka Front, a prong of the Rocky Mountains in the American West. Here, you may ride on 66,000 acres ranging from sagebrush flats to expansive scrub pine mountains.
Today, fewer people travel this 15-mile wide and 25-mile long country than traveled it 70 years ago. The land is wild and beautiful. You may enjoy easy day rides from Horseworks’ ranch headquarters or faster paced, tougher rides into the high country, trailing the remuda, and on occasion moving the cattle.
Delicious meals will be provided during your vacation. The lodge, which is accessible 24 / 7, is where you will savor home-cooked meals planned to satisfy your dietary preference (including vegetarian, food allergies, and so on).
Local off-ranch activities include the Cody Nite Rodeo, white water rafting, floating the Big Horn River, soaking at the hot springs in Thermopolis, and an overnight trip to the world famous Yellowstone National Park, all of which Horseworks Wyoming will help you schedule around your on-ranch experience to round out the perfect Western adventure!
