Wrangler for a Day
Saddle up for real western fun
June 2 - September 9, 2026
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a Medora wrangler? Here’s your chance to step in and take the reins.
At Wrangler for a Day, you will work side-by-side with our professional wranglers for a hands-on experience built around you.
Over one or two days, you’ll feed and pen the horses, groom and saddle up, head out for a 2-hour trail ride, and take on daily stable chores. You’ll see what it takes to keep the stables running, and get real guidance from our crew.
It’s hands-on, it’s a lot of work, and it’s a whole lot of fun. Perfect for past cowgirl camp riders ready for what’s next, or anyone confident in the saddle and ready for a more hands-on, up-close, western experience.
* Registration closes at 11:59 pm MDT the Friday before each session.
