Set in Pocatello, Idaho, this three-day Mini Horsemanship Ranch Adventure welcomes ridden horses from any discipline and focuses on advancing practical horsemanship. It is not intended for green horses. Adapted from a longer ranch program, the format brings together horsemanship, cattleworking and stockmanship, and on-the-trail learning to offer a unique, educational experience for those who want to improve their partnership with their horses alongside others who share that interest. The first day centers on arena work, beginning with groundwork to confirm clear communication, then moving to the saddle for foundational skills. On the second day, the group travels to a cattle arena for low stress stockmanship to further develop horsemanship, followed by time on the trail applying principles to real-life situations. Common challenges encountered while riding out are addressed together with an emphasis on feel, respect, trust, and encouragement. The final day heads to a large working ranch to assist with a Fall Gather, giving purpose to the communication and advanced maneuvers developed earlier and strengthening the working partnership between horse and rider in a job-focused setting.
