.On horseback you will be guided by a 4th generation rancher through sections of Chihuahuan Desert in Far West Texas. This tour offers a rare opportunity to visit a 3,200 acre private ranch, operational for over 100 years.
On this 1/2 day long tour, we will meet at the ranch gate where I will lead you to parking and the horse pens. At the pens you will get acquainted with my 3 seasoned quarter horses: Cactus Jake, Seis, and Flash. Once acquainted you will have a basic riding lesson before we he
ad off to the prehistoric Kockernot Mesa trail on horseback.
This trail originally carved out by Native Americans hundreds of years ago and in more recent times by the cavalry during the civil war will be our gateway to learning about the history that has transpired in this area how the land has been used in the past thru present.
We will break for a small, provided snack before we head up the winding hillside path to our destination of several Native American sites. Once near the site locations we will dismount to wander off the beaten path on foot. As you gaze upon these prehistoric sites, you are welcome to collect rocks such as geodes and flint, take photos and look for arrowheads. Once we have taken in all the sites we will remount and head back to the pens for the closing of our trip.
Before we say goodbye, I will be happy to answer questions about the land and its history.
