McGinnis Meadows Cattle & Guest Ranch

We have proven ranch horses to sell, and we take a limited number of outside horses and train them to the same quality as the horses our guests ride here on the ranch. Our belief is to restart all horses and build in the safety, independence, and gentleness that allows you and your horse to be comfortable whether you are alone on the trail, working cows in the mountains or meadows, or pursuing upper levels of horsemanship in any discipline. We emphasize working our horses on cattle as this gives a horse a visual reason to stop, turn around, go, then stand quiet. We also rope cattle on all our horses. We feel that driving, roping, and working cattle builds a partnership between the rider and the horse that is unequaled in other training methods. During their time here these horses are ridden by all of us to expose them to the nuances that different people present even though we are all using the Buck Brannaman/Ray Hunt style of horsemanship. This horse we’ve found to be more forgiving to the novice when they climb on, and the horse actually supports the rider. We strongly urge the owner to come and ride with us during or at the end of the training. We recommend new colts to stay a minimum of 90 days, and restarts a minimum of 60 days. Geldings or mares 2 years of age and up are considered for this program. Call Randy Bock toll free, 866-764-5569, for more details and to reserve your spot. References are gladly given.
