Wyatt Ranch Cattle Drive Weekend at Andora Farms
17275 Germanna Hwy, Culpeper, VA 22701
RIDE AND STAY WITH TOM AMD PAT SEAY, HOSTS OF "BEST OF AMERICA BY HORSEBACK" AT THEIR PRIVATE FARM IN THE FOOTHILLS OF VA
Enjoy a long weekend in the great outdoors, full of beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance and working the cattle herd at Tom and Pat Seay's cattle farm. This is the perfect adventure for riders who want to do something different with their horses. You do not have to have any experience with cattle. If you are an experienced rider, we do have a couple of rental horses available, but you must be an experienced rider.
Guests will learn a variety of skills from horseback, including gathering and moving cattle around the farm and in pens. Riders and horses new to cattle will have time to slowly acclimate to moving cattle on Friday afternoon. All of our guests are treated to delicious hot meals throughout the weekend cooked right here at the farm and served to you family-style around the long dining table. Guests are also invited to take part in leisurely guided trail rides around the property.
Check In: Friday by noon for Meet & Greet and light lunch.
Check Out: Sunday morning
2023 Pricing $575 per person. Fee includes: Learning to drive cattle with your horse, gathering strays, and working cattle by horseback in the arena after the cattle drives. The price includes a horse stall, a 30 amp electric hook up, trailer parking and all meals (Friday afternoon through-Saturday evening). Guests are also welcome to go on a guided ride around the property.
A $100 deposit reserves your space!
Balances can be split into monthly payments. All balances must be paid in full two weeks before the event.
