Dude Ranch Cowboy Rules

Welcome to cowboy country! Follow these simple rules to fit in and enjoy the ride:

  1. Wear Your Pants Like a Grown-Up – If we wanted to see your underwear, we’d do your laundry. 
  2. Yes, Animals Smell–That’s the Scent of the West – Around here, horses, cattle, goats, and chicken don’t stink–they smell like hard work and tradition.
  3. Respect the Land, Respect the Livestock – Treat the animals and the environment like they’re part of the family. If you wouldn’t do it to your own, don’t do it here.
  4. If You’re Not Riding, You’re Helping – Idle hands make for a slow ranch. If you’re not on horseback, lend a hand and pitch in. It’s how cowboys do things around here.
  5. Wave Like You Mean It – Out here, everyone waves. It’s called being neighborly. Try it–you might even like it.
  6. Cowboys Have Manners – Hold the door open, tip your hat, and show respect to all ladies, young or old. It’s not old-fashioned–it’s just right.
  7. No Smoking, No Chewing, No Exceptions – If you’ve got a habit that involves spitting or stinking up the place, leave it at the gate.
  8. What Happens on the Ranch, Stays on the Ranch – Cowboy code means we respect each other’s privacy. No gossip, no drama–just good times and hard work.
  9. The Ranch is a No-Drama Zone – Leave your stress and city problems behind. Life on the ranch is simple, and so is the attitude–keep it calm and positive.
  10. Don’t Be Afraid of Getting Dirty – Out here, mud is just part of the adventure. Embrace it, and don’t whine about a little dust on your boots.
Follow these rules and you’ll fit in just fine!
