Do you love horses? Are you attracted to the west, especially states like Wyoming?If so, I can arrange a vacation where you can live the cowboy or cowgirl life. As your travel agent for guest ranches, you’re sure to have a fun and a bronco-busting good time. Let me introduce you to some great Wyoming Dude Ranches and arrange an exciting travel itinerary. If you want a true escape to cowboy country, I can make it happen for you, you and a friend or partner, or for you and your family. For instance, you might think of visiting a ranch like the Lazy L&B Ranch in Dubois, Wyoming. You can arrange travel to the site from May to September. All ranches, you will find, will give you a personalized experience, as they typically limit guests to up to 30 to 35 people. In Saratoga, Wyoming, the Medicine Bow Lodge and Adventure Guest Ranch has an even smaller-than-average guest capacity. The ranch accepts visitors May through October, allowing up to 15 guests for bookings. Jackson, Wyoming is home to the Spotted Horse Ranch, with a guest capacity of 34 people. I can arrange an exciting dude ranch vacation for you from May through October. There’s also the Goosewing Ranch in Jackson. Plan a visit to the dude ranch anywhere between June and September. The above ranches are only a few of the many ranches you can stay at when you visit dude-ranch-friendly states such as Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and California. While most people relate California with its sunny beaches and water sports, it has the largest number of dude ranches in the U.S. Luxury dude ranch vacations include activities such as gold panning, river rafting, and fly fishing. However, if you’re looking for a Rocky Mountain experience, I’d suggest you select a dude ranch excursion to Wyoming - a place where the Rocky Mountains and High Plains converge.With its small population and large, open areas, the state is a cowboy or cowgirl paradise. Wyoming inspires dreams of riding on horseback while Yellowstone National Park in the northwest allows you to explore some spectacular landmarks and scenery. Steaming geysers, stunning waterfalls, and vast canyons are all visible from Grand Loop Road, which also offers a great panorama of the park. Hundreds of paths traverse the park and offer access to secluded lakes, deep backcountry areas, and beautiful vistas. Vacations at Wyoming Dude Ranches sometimes include trips to Yellowstone. Grand Teton National Park sits in northwest Wyoming. Your breath might be taken away when you catch your first glimpse of the grand ranges that rise abruptly from the Jackson Hole Valley. The valley floor is covered in lush grasslands and sits in the shadows of peaks and glaciers that originate at elevations higher than 12,000 feet. This breathtaking region is home to moose, elk, and bear, all of which are commonly seen on supervised dude ranch trips. You can ride and herd cattle, relax in a hot pool, river raft, hike, or sit on a veranda reading a book. Let’s plan a dude ranch vacation now. As your travel agent specialist for Wyoming, I’m sure you’ll find this type of vacation one you’ll remember fondly the rest of your life. Contact me for all the details today.

Professional Bull Riding Travel Agent Expert

Hold on to your cowboy hat and get ready to experience the heart-pumping experience of riding a bull. I have the unique opportunity to plan your adventure as I am a professional bull riding travel agent vacation planner.  So, if you’re looking for a unique vacation, I’m the go-to person you need to call. This is a great spectator sport, as there is nothing that quite matches the rush of seeing these fearless athletes and magnificent bulls “spar’ in a bullring.  To learn more about this adventure, we should define professional bull riding first. What is Professional Bull Riding? Professional bull riding is a dangerous sport that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a rodeo event where cowboys attempt to ride a bucking bull for eight seconds. The cowboy must stay on the bull with one hand behind his back and the other holding onto a rope attached to the bull. The rope wraps around the animal’s chest, just behind the bull’s front legs. One end of the rope, or the tail, is directed through a loop on the other end before the rope is tightened. The bull rider, in turn, wraps the tail around his hand. He may also weave the tail through his fingers to increase the grip. If the cowboy stays on for the full eight seconds, he is scored on his performance. The higher the score, the more money he can win. Many of the events involve multiple rounds, also called go-rounds. The events may stretch over two or three nights overall. The cowboy and bull are given eight seconds, as the bucking bill begins to tire after this time. Professional bull riding events are held all over the world, but most notably in North America. The top riders in the world compete in a series of events called the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Championship Series. The PBR series of events has become one of the most popular rodeo activities to watch on television or to view in person. If you're thinking about attending a professional bull riding event, there are a few things you should know. First, it's important to dress appropriately. You'll want to wear comfortable clothes that can send up to the environment. Second, be prepared for loud noises and large crowds. Bull riding events are typically very noisy and crowded, so it's important to be aware of your surroundings at all times.  Lastly, don't forget to bring cash! Many bull riding venues do not accept credit cards, so it's always best to come prepared with cash on hand. What to Expect at a Professional Bull Riding Event When you attend a professional bull riding event, you can expect to see some of the best riders in the world compete against some of the most intrepid bulls. The sport is incredibly exciting, which is why it draws such a large crowd.  Here are a few things you can typically expect to see at a professional bull riding event:  -Riders will be judged on their ability to stay mounted on the bull for eight seconds. -The bulls will be randomly selected before each ride. -Each rider will have three rides during the competition. -The rider with the highest score at the end of the competition will be crowned the champion. -There will be plenty of food and drink available for purchase at the event. -You will be able to meet and get autographs from some of your favorite riders. Tips for Safe Travel and Enjoyment of the Event As with any travel adventure, there are some things to keep in mind to make sure your professional bull riding experience is as safe and enjoyable. Here are a few tips: - Do your research before you go. Learn about the area you'll be visiting and what safety precautions you should take. - When packing for your trip, include items that will keep you safe and comfortable, such as sunscreen, a hat, and, preferably, sturdy cowboy boots. - Be aware of your surroundings at all times. This means being aware of the bulls and other riders, as well as the crowd and the arena itself. If you're ever in doubt or feel unsafe, speak up or ask for help from a staff member. - Pay attention to the rules and regulations set by the event organizers. These are in place for everyone's safety, so following them is crucial. - Have fun! Professional bull riding can be an exhilarating experience, so enjoy every minute of this escapade! Think about the story you wish to tell with the pictures. Do you wish to capture the bull’s grace and power? Or, do you want to focus on the athlete? When you're actually out at the event, take advantage of any lulls in the action to scout out good locations for shooting. If possible, for instance, to find an elevated spot so you can look down on the arena and get a different perspective on the action?  Professional bull riding is an amazing, if not intensive experience, that should not be missed.
