We are very excited to soon be offering a hands-on program for those who want to learn what it truly means to be a working cowboy. In collaboration with the cowboys of 2Rein, this immersive “Cowboy School” will give students the chance to step into ranch life — from colt starting and advanced Californio horsemanship to cattle work, herd health management, identifying and treating illnesses, roping, and the day-to-day grind that keeps a ranch running. We will teach you what you need to know to find a paying position on a working ranch.
Programs will be offered in different lengths so that more people can access this opportunity, whether you’re looking for a short introduction or a deeper dive into the cowboy life.
Please note: this is not a paid position. It is a chance to learn, and it costs us time and energy to teach. However, for a very limited number of students, successful completion may lead to the possibility of a paid role here at Nitehawk Ranch. More details will be shared here in the future. Feel free to sign up to our email subscription if you would like to be among the first to know.
We will send out an announcement of the opening of our program by email 7 days before announcing it publicly. You can also watch our cowboys at 2Rein who will keep information posted as they are the ones running the program here on our ranch.
