On a working ranch there are many opportunities to use horses for cattle work. Each Spring bulls are driven to the pastures they will be covering. In late July and early August they must be gathered and brought home. Throughout the summer some cattle are checked on horseback. One of your options may be to go with us. You can always just bring your horse and explore the private property at your own leisure. The Flint Hills Region is rough country and your horse should be shod. There are many obstacles to overcome including, live water, rocks, steep hills, trees, cattle, gates, and for some horses the challenge of being in wide open country. The view is breath taking whether you choose early spring with the new green grass, or late fall when the seed heads are shooting.

Besides bringing your own horse, there are a variety of things you can do and see. Photo opportunities are endless.

You may take hikes anywhere you would like on our property.

- Community Events
-
With a population of only 3000 people in the entire county, Chase county has a rich tradition of making our own fun with community activities. Perennial favorites include the annual PRCA rodeo. Held the first full weekend of each June, it includes three rodeo performances, 2 dances and a parade. The wildflower tour hosted by the extension service, is an educational free event that attracts people from all over. Two tours (that require prior registration) illustrate the formation and management practices used to retain the Flint Hills ecosystem. In addition there is plant and wildflower identification. It is held in mid June each year. The Ranch Rodeo is another community favorite. Local cowboys and cowgirls compete using real life skills used daily in their work. The Saturday before July 4 there is a community Fireworks. One of our favorite memories is the year we rode to the top of our east hill and watched the fireworks from horseback. Please go to the Chase County link which is listed below to get details and web sites of community activities.
