The Ultimate Western Experience
Work a herd of approximately 2000 head of cattle from the back of an American Quarter Horse.

We do our work with the cattle as the need arises, not a specific activity on a specific date. Most of the week is spent scattering cattle on the range, doctoring cattle, packing salt for our cattle, trailing (driving) cattle to a new pasture on the monutains, and gathering up stray cattle in some of the most scenic mountain country to be found.

Almost all of the work is performed from the backs of ranch broke Quarter Horses. You will be matched with one or two horses to be used by you for the duration of your stay at the ranches. A saddle will be provided for your use or feel free to bring your own.

Your safety and enjoyment are uppermost in our minds. Our goal is to ensure your vacation is one that you will always treasure in your memories. Our cowboys will help you learn to rope, work cattle and ride safely. Feel free to join in the work or just go along for the ride, which is by no means a nose to tail affair. Want to experience the real working cowboy lifestyle? Come join the McGarry Ranches Family of Wranglers. Work the heard on approx. fifty five thousand acres in the Big Hole Range of the Rocky Mountains.


Guest Comments

"I loved my two weeks stay and work at Therons ranch, I felt like a family member there, plus the simplicity of ranch life - living in a wooden condo without any luxuries like TV etc. And the most enjoyable part - I could ride my horse as fast as I wanted, chasing/pushing cows etc. I'm going back again for two weeks..." - The Martins, Latvia, Riga

"It was a magnificent experience staying for a week on McGarry Ranches. The people of the ranch were magnificent and it was a very good week . The trail riding was great and the horses excellent. I will come the next year for two weeks because I liked this way of life very much. I thank Theron and his wife and everyone on the ranch for this excellent week in Rexburg." - Schneider Arald, Vienna, Austria

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the McGarry's and we are already planning a return trip. Out of the three guest ranches we have visited, this is the only one we would come back to. We loved the riding, the cow work and the feeling of family that starts from the very beginning. The pace is relaxed with an emphasis on having fun while you get the job done. We plan to bring some friends with us next time!" - Lucy & Keith, Sacramento, CA
