11:00 a.m. – Guests arrive at Sandy Valley Ranch and are greeted by Bandits and cowboys on horseback that will “hold-up” the guests and direct them to the Ranch House for a warm Western welcome and orientation.

Guests will divide into two outlaw Gangs for the activities. Guests will be given a souvenir straw cowboy hat and a souvenir bandana to help get them into the Western Spirit and to help distinguish the two Gangs. Gangs pick a gang leader who is responsible for a burlap bag containing the hay cubes that the gang members earn for their expertise in the various activities. Awards are given for the gang with the most hay cubes. Some sneaky gangs even try to steal the other gang’s cubes. Each gang will also receive “wild cards” that may be used to substitute in a Ranch staff member for any activity. The Gang Leader may elect to have another gang member substitute as well. Gangs will earn one point for each wild card they turn back in at the end of the adventure. The Gangs are encouraged to come up with their own gang names.

Gangs not behavin’ like gangs or Gang Leaders not up to the challenge of Gang Leadin’ may have points taken away from their bag throughout the event. This is at the discretion (or whim) of the facilitator and Wranglers!

Throughout the Event – Drinks – Soda, coffee, tea and bottled water will be available at our self-service bar in the Ranch House and on the lawn, near the games. Alcohol will be available if provided by the Client. Cost for SVR to transport alcohol: $100.

11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. – Trail Rides – Everyone mounts up for a trail ride. Our trail rides are designed to allow guests to become comfortable with a horse (if they aren’t already) and to explore the range on our more than 300 square miles of pristine sage and mesquite ranch land. Riders will enjoy the beautiful Nevada desert and mountain scenery. We don’t ride “nose to tail” and our horses are well trained to handle both inexperienced and experienced riders. This is a non-competitive event. No points are awarded for this activity – it gets gang members warmed up for the mounted activities to come.

12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. – Rib Stickin’ Barbeque Lunch and Company Meeting – Cowboys and Cowgirls mosey into the Ranch House for a delicious two-entrée lunch buffet bar featuring Smokey Burgers with cheese, Old West Chinese Laundry Chicken Salad, Potato Salad, and a lip smackin’ dessert. Coffee, tea, water and soda are included, as well as alcoholic beverages if provided by the Client.

During Lunch – Company Meeting

2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Arena Activities – Everyone moves to our championship arenas where the Gangs compete against the clock to see who can develop the best strategy to do the following in the shortest time:

• Goat Dressin’ – Don’t ya know goats, like to get dressed up! This activity is unique, but also safe for our friendly goats. Guests compete to catch their goat, and dress it in an oversized t-shirt and shorts. The Gang with the fastest time wins! Half the battle is makin’ sure the goats keep their shorts on! This activity is great for building communication (mostly swearing), not to mention lots of laughs. And don’t worry. This activity is designed to be safe for our friendly goats. The winning Gang gets 10 hay cubes.
• Single Action Mounted Shooting – Our Wranglers will demonstrate the art of Single Action Shooting. This challenging Western activity is accomplished on horseback. The trick is to ride as fast as possible while shooting playing cards on poles set-up in a course. It’s like rubbing your stomach, patting your head and walking all at the same time. Guests will then be selected to try it. The guns we use on the ranch are replicas of Single Action Colt Pistols that were used in the Wild West. They don’t fire real bullets, just blanks, which makes this activity safe yet very exciting.
• Team Cattle Penning – The guests will have a hoot-and-a-half trying their hand at Team Cattle Penning. After a demonstration by our Wranglers, teams of guests volunteer to mount our well-trained horses and develop a strategy to move an ornery herd of cattle from one end of the arena into a pen at the other end. The Gang with the fastest time wins 10 hay cubes to add to their gang bag!

4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – The group adjourns to the Ranch House for wrap-up activities. Nibblin’s and drinks (that’s cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for the fancy cowboys) will be served. The Client will choose two hors d’oeuvres. Soda, coffee, tea and bottled water will be available. Alcohol will be available if provided by the Client. Cost for SVR to transport alcohol: $100.

During Nibblin’s – Bandits will round everyone up for the ever-popular Sandy Valley Ranch Awards Ceremony. Hay cubes will be counted under the watchful eyes of our Wranglers and special awards will be given to guests accomplishing amazing and unusual feats throughout the event such as:

• Best Cowpoke with a Rope
• Most Accurate with a Cow Pie
• Most Courageous Bucking Barrel Rider

And, some lucky guest may even be awarded the world famous and much sought-after Sandy Valley Ranch Golden Cow Pie.

5:30 p.m. – Guests bid a sad farewell to the Ranch and head back to the 21st century.
