“Kim & Patricia are excellent hosts and had spent considerable time and effort into ensuring everyone was on the right horse for their ability. Their horses aren’t nags but are clever, sure-footed, forward-going thinkers. The food was excellent, both at the ranch and on the trail. I’d definitely recommend the Chisum Drive and can’t wait to visit Burnt Well again.” Posted June 2007 from guests visiting May 2007
Drive
100 head of mother cows from the ranch to their leased land about 50-60 miles
away.. The price will be all-inclusive, which will cover your meals, horse, and
a bed roll. The only things you have to worry about bringing are your “cowboy
‘duds’” and your appetite for adventure!
Step into a cowboy’s life of the late 1800’s. Experience the wide open spaces and bellowing cattle; the fresh air and stars above. A nightly campfire coupled with outdoor cooking will take you back to the enchanting Old West! The price includes all your meals, horse/tack, bedroll, etc.
