Summary
Where the traditions of the Old West linger on. This 5000-acre ranch, with its 150 longhorn cattle and up to 200 head of horses, evokes the feeling of the rough and tumble cowboy days. When you see the horses running in a herd coming down off the hill, it is a site you will never forget. The Hedricks have provided horses for ten movies over the years, the best known are Hidalgo and Far & Away. If you look close you can see their brands in the movies.
The Hedrick family invites you to “cowboy up” and join them for a ride on their working ranch. Guests who return say the ranch is beautiful, and you can see four mountain ranges on a clear day…but it is the genuine, unsophisticated and down to earth people that bring them back year after year. (Ask to hear some of Clarice’s cowboy poetry.) Three generations currently work on the ranch: Corky and Clarice, daughter Georgie and her husband Scott Hamel, and grandson Zac. Corky says Zac is quite a hand with a rope and can do just about anything –anything, that is, except mow the lawn!
