Horseback Riding Vacationers from Denmark

Ranch Guests Ebba, Inger and Jorge Riding Horses Out to the Herd

We recently had three guests at the ranch from Denmark. They came to ride horses and ride we did – ride and move cattle. I had steers scattered in the riparian and in three wrong pastures. With the help from Ebba, Inger, and Joergen we were able to flush them out of the overgrown creek bottoms and drive them to fresh pasture. I don’t think I could have done it by myself.

Ebba leases a reining horse in Denmark, and Inger and Joergen own their own horses. They all ride a lot and are accomplished horsemen. It is a good thing too. I couldn’t even see them in the brush along the creek. They were on their own – every now and then I could hear brush breaking from either one of their horses or cattle. Sure enough they emerged from the trees and shrubs unhurt – and driving a batch of cattle. Good cowboys! Aside from being good riders and having a good, natural cow instinct, all three of our new Danish friends were a delight to be around. They were always upbeat and ready to go.

I found out that Ebba comes to the states often and rides on horse herd moves, cattle drives, and pack trips. I believe she said she has ridden in Utah, Nevada, Montana, Colorado – and probably more places in the U.S.  Joergen and Inger also travel and take horseback vacations. This was their first visit to the U.S, but they have ridden in Russia, Canada, one of the middle East countries – I think it was Jordan – as well as all over Denmark. Doug and I are pleased they chose the Double Circle Ranch for one of their horseback riding vacation destinations.  We are glad they did and hope they return to ride with us again.
