Dude Ranching
with the
Walter Family

This is an incredible tale of the natural talent and fearless mind-set of the Walter family.  An adventure of a lifetime unfolds for a lively house full of eleven children growing up in Saskatchewan, Canada.  Their father lures them to upstate New York and begins the new concept of Dude Ranching.  Horseback riding and rodeo competition became their new way of life shared with countless "City Slickers".   Some Dude Ranch guests returned year after year.  Some never left and became part of the extended family.  The Walter family entertained famous and not so famous guests with the same warm hospitality, celebrating life with each one.  Don’t miss this amazing journey with the Walter family making Dude Ranch history.
