Dude Ranches And Fine Wine

These terms may sound as if they are at odds with one another but both are on offer, and in the same place, in the United States.

Gone are the days when dude ranches were the place to go to get down and dirty with the horses. These days? You are able to ride out and do all those 'horsey' things like rounding up cattle and helping with the branding, but when the day is over you are going to find what is on offer is far removed from the franks and beans from days gone by.

Gourmet dinners served with fine wines are the order of the day. What better way to ease those aching muscles and tired bones after a hard days riding than to be pampered by fine dining and excellent service?

Today's urban cowboy demands more than your old time cowboys. Imagine you have spent the best part of the year cooped up in an air conditioned, environment controlled, building dealing with noisy telephones and tight deadlines.

What better way to get away from it all than to spend the day under deep blue skies, riding the range, and coming home not to a camp-fire although I am sure they are going to be there! but to exquisitely cooked food and perfectly chilled wine?

The kids are able to come too! There are many ranches that cater for the youngsters with riding lessons thrown in. Let them help with mucking out and feeding the young animals. They are going to love it!

Hi,

Hope all is well. I'm Alisha from Wowzio, and I'm excited to tell you about our new widget platform that helps bloggers increase readership and create more engaged users.
Our widgets are absolutely free for personal use (and we don't insert ads on your blog either).
We have released a few widgets recently that I think you'll find useful so I wanted to reach out to you to ask for your feedback (feel free to also install any widgets on your blog, if you feel they are a fit for you).

Our Photo Widget for example, automatically creates a slideshow for you from all the photos you post on your blog.
Photos are a great way to get new (and regular) readers to dive deeper into your blog and read more of your content.
We also have other widgets which should help increase traffic to your blog(Live Activity & Feed Widget).
You can check out widgets customized for your blog here:

I'm sorry for leaving this message via a comment, it's not at all our intent to spam you ( which is why i'm leaving this comment on an older post ).
We'd love to hear your feedback about our widgets, and feel free to remove this comment! :)

Thanks,
Alisha Wright
