Answers to FAQ:
Q. Are we assigned
one horse for the week, or a different horse each time?
A. You are assigned a horse for the
entire week, unless you feel a need to ride another or if the pairing
doesn't work well. We will then find you another horse. The wranglers
will also advance a person to a higher level of riding if they feel
that person is ready.
Q. Is an overnight
pack trip part of agenda?
A. See a description on the Special
Events Page to find out details and scheduled weeks. The pack trip
replaces regularly scheduled activities on Thursday, Friday & Saturday,
except for the Square Dance.
Q. Is swimming available?
- lake, stream or pool?
A. The option is given to the guests
to go swimming in a nearby lake (roped off swimming area). It is usually
a scheduled activity during July and August.
Q. Is fishing available?
- as part of agenda or separate?
A. Fishing is accomplished during guest's
free time (there is enough) on or near the ranch. Or you may decide
to exercise the option to book a big river fishing excursion with Glacier
Raft Company.
