Hi all
I think you're asking a much too specialized ? for this forum. Why not google for "equestrian vacations USA".
Horses are very BIG in my state, Oregon. Every September we have one of the top rodeos, the Pendleton Roundup.

Some of the major dude ranches areas that might fit your needs would be:
(a) Near Jackson Hole in the western portion of Wyoming
(b) near Missoula, Montana in Montana, or
(c) areas west of Austin or San Antonio in Texas.
Texas will be the hottest, but the most likely to give you true "dude ranch, go round up the cattle and drive them to market" experience, where you ride for multiple days and end up traveling long distances. Also, you can go to San Antonio and Austin for a day or two after doing your dude ranch vacation
Montana will be cooler and provide beautiful scenery combined with long rivers great for fishing in the spare hours.
Western Wyoming will give you a combination of wide-open prairie mixed with nearby national parks (Grand Teton and Yellowstone) and a chance to also experience white-water rafting on the nearby Snake River and time at hot tubs and yet also upscale hotels nearby in the wild.
Based upon what you are looking for, I would look for something in Texas
P.S. would only suggest Colorado if you are west of Denver and don't mind lots of super high mountains--as the eastern portion of the state is totally boring. It is a really beautiful state, however--while Texas will be less "scenic", but as I said, a more realistic "cowboy" experience.
That's brilliant, thank you Calcruzer!
