At weeks end, after everyone has become quite familiar with his or her horse, it is finally time to put on your cowboy hat and help in a real cattle drive. This operation takes a coordinated effort of three different team positions: the "point man" who sets the direction the herd will take, the "outriders" who keep the spread of the herd tight and bundled up, and the "drag" cowboys who keep the push moving from the rear.

The wranglers will explain all of this in detail and give tips to make the job go as planned, but there will always be some critter that spots some grass and "bush up" hoping to hold up right there. The trail boss, based on their long experience, will assign you one of these team positions. By the time the drive is completed, you will have a good idea of how the West was won in no small part by its cowboys.

You will next participate in the arena in the team penning competition of short horns into a small corral. The clock keeps ticking and it’s a battle of wits, yours against the bovine. Try your hand at barrel racing next, where the fastest time wins.

Considering age and experience, winners will be recognized with awards after dinner.
