2009 ACTIVITIES
Shine up yer spurs and dust off yer chaps, it's that time again! You got it...the 4th annual Runamuk Benefit Trail Ride, wine social, barn dance and horsemanship clinic. Set up yer camp Friday night and join us for a campfire. On Saturday, *starting at 10am*, enjoy an afternoon sitting on the back of a horse or comfortably in a horse-drawn wagon seeing the sites of the Bull Mountains in Roundup, Montana. Ride a total of 15 miles through timbered trails, open meadows and over sandstone rim rock. For lunch, tie your horse up and enjoy fine Charolais beef. Meander your way back to the ranch with more fantastic views and a gander at a homestead cabin. Once back at the ranch, relax before dinner with our popular wine social and live music. Top off your night with an ol’ fashioned barn dance. For those of you who can’t get enough time in the saddle, wake Sunday morning to homemade donuts and ride with us at *8:30am* as we cover more country on horseback.

Horsemanship&
Cattle Handling Clinic
Presented by: Reed Trexler
Corvallis, MT
Reed believes a horse should travel and guide with no resistance allowing
the rider to be in complete control at all times. Reed realizes
that each horse has different abilities for which he adjusts his program
to meet their specific needs, by doing this each horse is given the opportunity
to perform at their full potential. He accredits his knowledge and
techniques to some of the greatest horseman and women he has observed
over the years.
Reed grew up on a pure bred black angus ranch in
the heart of the Bitterroot Valley and at an early age discovered the
importance of a well trained horse. Now Reed has a working commercial
cattle ranch of his own where he has developed and implemented a training
program that reflects this philosophy.
Reed, one of Montana's premiere horsemen, has won various awards throughout the western U.S. for his roping, cutting and training. He is now beginning to share his knowledge through clinics. Reed's focus is on Reined Cow Horses and Cutting Horses. For more info check back soon! . . .
