Dryhead Ranch has been raising and selling registered American Quarter Horses for over 40 years. They pride themselves on the fact that the first breath their foals take is in big country with no human assistance. They gather their mares only a few times a year; once in the spring to make mare bands, again in the fall to remove the stallions, and the last time in October/November to record all the marking of the foals for registration.
The horse drives are intended for more experienced riders. Being able to canter for a long period of time is necessary at the start of the day and various times during the day to maintain control of the horse cavvy. A fast pace for a time followed by walking for a time gives horses as well as riders a chance to catch their breath. This is an exciting adventure for guests and a unique opportunity for horse loving people. (Weather can be varied due to the time of year - not for the feint hearted. Alcohol not permitted at this ranch)
