When you think of the fourth of July, what comes to mind? For us, we’re reminded of all the times we’ve hustled through a crowd of strangers in order find the best viewing spot for the city’s firework show. We think of peaceful summer nights, lawn chairs, rich laughter, and all the colorful lights bursting across the sky and filling our fields of vision. We enter into the day with a sense of excitement, and leave the day wishing the fun could go on.

We live in an age where definitions are constantly evolving. Every new development brings another wave of change, every good endeavor presses humanity forward inch by inch. For many, the idea of a farm might draw forth images such as simple barns, or a variety of livestock and crops. And while it’s fair to say the 570 million farms across the globe may share these basic qualities, one of them in particular is evolving the perception of what a Guest Ranch experience is and can be.

Horseback riding is about connecting with your roots and feeling the past. Wranglers have used horses to herd cattle across widespread western terrain; to pull wagons carrying much-needed supplies; and for simple recreation. At Brush Creek Ranch, we have over 180 horses that vary in type, purpose, and size. They’re invaluable to our way of life. Our herd is primarily comprised of American Quarter Horses. These are the classic cowboy horse, bred for cow and ranch work.

Brush Creek Ranch is 30,000 acres of of stories and memories just waiting to happen. Participating in one of the dozens of group activities we offer among our three unique all-inclusive ranch properties means there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Offering a wide variety of immersive experiences, guests can channel their inner cowboy on a cattle drive, fly-fish the blue ribbon waters of the Platte River Valley, or enjoy western dancing under the star-lit sky.

Spanning Wyoming’s mountainous foothills, sagebrush, and hay meadows, raise your eyes upward and pull the trigger. Feel the thrill and joy the kickback brings as your aim flies true and your prize falls from the sky.

The early settlers of our land were bred in hard work. They were gold prospectors, swinging pickaxes in search of precious metals. They were tie hacks, chopping away at beautifully-aged timber rooted along Medicine Bow’s rustic slopes. It’s this spirit of hard work we’re known for at French Creek Sportsmen’s Club, and it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s for adventurers, thrill-seekers, and conquerors. World-class cuisine and accommodations can now be found here.
