It's easy to think that the old days of cowboys and livestock drives are completely gone. Not so. Every April, Montana Horses hosts a Spring Roundup that's right out of the Old West, with a 3-day horse drive from Willow Creek, Montana through the headwaters of the Missouri River and then home to the Mantle Ranch. This long standing tradition is coming to an end with the 2012 Horse Drive being the last.  If you've ever dreamed of crossing this off your bucket list...now is the time. You'll help round up hundreds of horses from their winter pasture, trailing them over thirty miles back to the Montana Horses headquarters, north of Three Forks. The drive begins in the hills south of Willow Creek, where you'll spend the day gathering horses from thousands of acres of rugged Montana country. Relax afterwards in an old-style, streamside camp, complete with wall-tents and a chuckwagon supper. The next day is the long trail into Three Forks, followed by a sit-down meal, dance and festivities, and a warm bed at the historic Sacajawea Hotel. Wake up early and drive the herd north along the cottonwood forests of the Missouri River, heartpounding race down the river along the railroad, ending up at the Mantle Ranch for a cool drink, hearty laughs, and a well-deserved rest.  Ride with us, or join the Photography Expediton with Val Westover and Stephanie Adriana "Capturing True Emotion".
