Drowsy Water Ranch – www.drowsywater.com

Your owner-hosts Ken, Randy Sue, Justin, Gretta and Ryan Fosha invite you to their Dude Ranch and home to enjoy the western vacation of your dreams. Our spread lies nestled in aspen trees on both sides of Drowsy Water Creek and is everything you'd expect a guest ranch to be. Barns, stables, corrals, log cabins, ponds - plenty of places where kids and adults love to explore. Everything at the ranch is within walking distance. Guest cabins, the Lodge, children's playground, the fishing pond, swimming pool and games area are all within a stone's throw.

The Main Lodge is the daily gathering place for parents and youngsters alike. The door is always open and the coffee pot is always filled and fresh. A warm and friendly spot to kick-back and enjoy playing cards, browsing in the library or just visiting with new friends.

Horses

With over 100 horses of all different shapes and sizes, we can always find the perfect one for you. We have drafts, thoroughbreds, paints and even a mule!

Our Horse Program is outstanding and geared to every riding ability and age group. Horses are selected to match your own riding skills. Daily instruction, both in the arena and on the trail help to improve everyone's proficiency. Advanced riders have many opportunities to explore and blaze trails while handling their horses from leisurely walks to smooth lopes and gallops.

For the Kids

Our Rangerider program, for kids 6 through 13, is built around an instruction based horseback riding program where they practice skills in our arena before setting out to the back country on their morning and afternoon trail rides. These young rider’s work up to loping and all day rides as their abilities improve. Before and after the rides our counsellors have other group activities to do such as an obstacle course, horse brushing, swimming, hiking, archery, lassoing a steer head, and other group activities.

Our Buckaroo program for the little kids ages 5 and under is the perfect way for parents to be able to enjoy their guest ranch vacations. These young children are taken care of and entertained by our counsellors, while the parents are taking part in the ranch activities. Their activities include horseback rides around the ranch, games, crafts, and picnic hikes. The counsellors can take care of any individual needs like naps, baby feeding, etc. Since our dude ranch is heavily family oriented, families eat meals together, parents can partake in any of the children’s programs and riding, and our evening entertainment is also family oriented.
