Jeff & Barb McManus ~Jeff
and Barb, a husband and wife team, were each born into ranch life and
raised with good riding horses. Jeff hailed from early years at The
Padlock Ranch near Sheridan, Wyoming, just miles from where our rides will
take place, while Barb brings Montana childhood experiences. Each has had
a variety of horse related activities grace their lives. Jeff has ridden
the area his entire life and has extensive knowledge of the geography. He
is presently a brand inspector with the Wyoming Livestock Board and has
worked for licensed Wyoming outfitters guiding trips in the Bighorn and
Rocky Mountains, taking groups as small as three and as large as 130 on
overnight wilderness trips. Both Jeff and Barb enjoy the outdoors and are
students of the history of our area from the Mountain Man to the
Cowboy. Jeff was involved in recreating the pony express rides through
Wyoming and both are actively involved in the recreation of the
mountain man
way of life and the 1840’s fur trade era at “Rendezvous” across the
West. Jeff has given talks at historic areas and museums while portraying,
in authentic dress, the first
National Park
Ranger. He is a great storyteller and will be happy to relate some of
his favorites and facts of history to you around the campfire.
We invite you to join us! If

us. We're happy to find trails for you to ride in the Bighorn
mountains. These trails will show you a variety of trees, flowers,
