Authentic western cattle drive experiences that put you in the saddle for a real working ranch adventure.
At Riverwood, we continue to uphold the western ideologies of ranching by working cattle on horseback. Managing livestock this way supports both the cattle and the horses, giving them a job while building confidence, exposure, and real-world experience across varied terrain. There’s nothing quite like pushing cattle through the bush or out across open range.
Cattle work at Riverwood is not offered as a one-day experience and is only available through lessons, boarding, or scheduled clinics and events. If you are interested in working cattle, we encourage you to join our lesson program or look for clinics listed on our Ranch Calendar that incorporate cattle work.
Once lesson students are deemed competent, cattle work is often incorporated into their program. Boarders are welcome to join when we are checking pastures or working cattle, and we also host specific clinics and events focused on cattle handling throughout the year.
