Riding holiday specialist, Ranch Rider will be exhibiting on stand number 120 at The Great Yorkshire Show from 14 July to 16 July. During the event, the tour operator will be offering visitors the opportunity to win a ranch stay at Arizona's Tombstone Monument Ranch, the property only three miles west of what was once known as "the town too tough to die."
The ranch's pursuits include a beginners half day ride into Tombstone, with guests stopping off for refreshments at Big Nose Kates. A selection of fast rides were also recently introduced for more experienced equestrians, the all day horseback adventures taking riders to the ghost town of Fairbank. The original railhead for Tombstone, Fairbank was the departure point for the ore pulled from the city’s silver mines and the scene for one of the old west’s last great train robberies - the heist led by outlaw, Burt Alvord.
Gunslinging with Arizona Bill is another major highlight along with archery and roping.
At the end of the trail guests have the option to relax by the pool and in the Trappman Saloon where Arizona Bill shares his tips on how to play a mean hand of poker and Faro: a hugely popular card game in the Wild West era.
Prize draw visitors will need to complete a simple entry form on the Ranch Rider stand at the show. Alternatively, an online form is available on the tour operator's website. The deadline for web entries is 30 November 2015.
