This is the Sundance Trail Guest Ranch Staff Orientation page of Articles for a Family Friendly Vacation Experience
With a single link to Summer Family Dude Ranch Vacations
In the “old days” we used to print these articles and mail them to all staff before their arrival. The paper used resulted in the deaths of many, many trees. The “pre-arrival pre-orientation” reading materials can now be found here. (The DRA Wrangler safety Certification Course will still use printed books.)
All Staff should study the following:
The Dude Ranch 12 Basics of Employment
The Delighted Guest. What is Guest Satisfaction?
Staff Packing List – Things to Bring
Wrangler, Wrangler Intern and Wrangler-wanna-be Staff should study the following:
Developing and Maintaining a Safe and Sensible Riding Program
Horse Skills – Walking, Jogging, Loping
Planning Children’s Programming
Water Is Most Overlooked Item In Horse Ration & How To Figure Horse Weight
NOTE: You will be asked about this when you arrive.
