(246)

We are a cattle & guest ranch up in Northwest Montana, only
100 miles west of Glacier National Park (www.mmgranch.net),
with our main emphasis on our horsemanship and cattle program. We take great pride in our horses as they are all very gentle, hard working
geldings that can do anything you point them at; be it driving cattle, trail
riding, or working on the finer art of Buck Brannaman style of h

orsemanship,
they can do it all! As far as the cattle working goes, starting the first
of June we are moving cows every day on 75,000 acres until the middle of
October. We also have around 100 yearlings that we keep around the ranch to
practice cutting, sorting, and roping with. So, if you want to work cattle
you can definitely do that here! All levels of riders are welcome, novice
to advanced.

Proof that “boys will be boys” is a cross-species phenomenon. 😂🐴

The morning springtime jingle…so beautiful to watch and listen to 🥰

Mindful practice when going slow in the “dry work” will build the muscle memory in the human and in the horse for when things go faster on cattle. This enables the horse and rider to remain correct with more speed and spontaneity when going to work on cattle or the robocow.

Under big skies and open spaces, today we remembered those who served and sacrificed. Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

First time on green pastures this summer! Those are some happy horses ☀️🌱🐴

Yesterday we introduced how using your body and weighting your feet can help communicate forward and backward movement with your horse 🐎✨ Today, we’re taking that concept off the horse and onto the ground.

Des demonstrates how foot pressure naturally changes as we move forward, stop, and step backward—helping show how those same pressure changes translate into the stirrups. More meaning through the body = more refinement, feel, and softness in the reins 👣➡️🐴

This video is also the first response in our new Ask Us Anything: Horsemanship Q&A Series 💬
Where we answer your horsemanship questions through demonstrations and practical exercises.
