Successful dude ranches strive to do four important things. .          
1:  Give you an opportunity to pretend you can ride.  
2:  Show you how you should be riding.  
3:  Provide entertainment until you are able to ride again.  
4: Fatten you up until you can't possibly ride.

A herd of wild horses is like a nomadic community. One Mare will be the Mayor of that town. Horses usually eat throughout the day, groom each other, play and sleep. The kind of play they indulge in is to challenge each other in a game kind of like “Who's the King of This Mountain” to establish their unique position in the herd.

As you study the behavior of the herd, and then the horses in the herd, you will want to be incorporating the knowledge you gain into your own horse training program. Since each horse you will meet is unique, you will need to devise a training program suited to its ability or personality.

Kiamichi Country

Horse Heaven Ranch is a resort for horse owners to bring their horses to. It's kind of like coming home to your own ranch after a sojourn in a distant, crowded city. The air is clean and fresh. You step out the front door and there your horses are, ready to rear up and go like Trigger on the loose. Hi Yo Silver, AWAY! And off you go down wilderness trails. Your favorite Rin Tin Tin can be pounding the trail right beside you, able to leap from tall boulders in a single bound.

Any time you mention a word or phrase and people say, "Oh, I want One!" or words to that effect, you have the subject for a story or article that will put your name on the map. Miniature horses is a phrase that wrings forth that response.
