The Pryor Mountains Ranch is an authentic working cattle and quarter horse ranch located in the Dryhead Canyon on the east slopes of the Pryor Mountains, south of Billings, Montana. We invite you to join us and experience a lifestyle you’ve only seen in the movies…. here you can experience your first real horse drive, cattle drive or brand your own calf and ride a trained cow horse.
Joe Bassett has raised his horses in this country for most of his lifetime. He has always been able to winter them at the ranch, however, with the introduction of wolves into the area, and also with sightings of lions during the last few years, we started to experience killings of our colts over the winter. Therefore, it has become necessary to change the schedule by starting to trail these horses out of Montana and into Wyoming for the winter, and back into the ranch in Montana in the spring. We will trail the horses out of the ranch in the fall after all of the fall cattle drives, and we will trail the horses back into the ranch in the spring before the spring cattle drives.
We have planned a fall horse drive that will begin after the cattle drives. We will trail these registered Quarter Horse brood mares and young horses after we finish our fall cattle drives.  We have weaned the colts away from these mares in October and we will be returning to Wyoming with just the mares.
