You made
our very first visit to Canada an awesome experience.
Thank you so much for the interesting and extensive horseback riding, for
the delicious meals, the good company and the action packed work with the
Texas Longhorn cattle.
We hope to return very soon!

Cowgirls & Cowboys
Yes, you can do it !
Would you
like to earn your Cowgirl or Cowboy Certificate ?
The certificate: During your Ranch Vacation you may work on your
certificate. In a fun and relaxing way you will learn all the points on
your list (see below) and will be able to do them on your own. At the end
you’ll get to take your certificate home or show it to the trailboss in
Texas once you hire on as a ranch hand to drive them cattle up North…
The cost: No extra cost – included in your Ranch Vacation Package.
Just let us know, if you would like to include the Cowgirl & Cowboy
certificate into your holiday.
