Thank you so much for your interest in Montana Cowboy School...We're nestled in the beautiful Tobacco Valley of Northwest Montana.  At Montana Cowboy School, you'll be having the experience of a lifetime just to the East of Lake Koocanusa (pictured above), due West of Glacier National Park, and just 220 miles south of Banff/Lake Louise.

In the hustle and bustle of today’s fast paced world, you need to take time for yourself and, first and foremost, HAVE FUN.  Here's your chance to step back and learn some of the skills that are still required of today’s real-life cowboys taught under the watchful eyes of experienced local cowboys.

The skills and experience at Montana Cowboy School are still required by cowboys on horseback that truly know how to ride, rope, and work cattle. This isn’t a school for those who aren’t willing to work hard, learn, and have a fun, exhilarating experience.  We have experienced instructors who will put forth a tremendous effort to ensure that you have a chance to have a very fun experience while learning the very fundamental cowboy skills that can only be taught through hands-on experience.  They'll want you to have fun along the way and there only expectation will be that you put forth the effort to learn and have fun throughout the course.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any experience - What we’re looking for is a strong desire to learn while having a fun adventure.

In fact, Montana Cowboy School is specifically geared towards someone who has always wanted to experience and learn the "cowboy way" but hasn’t had any real-life cowboy experience.

At Montana Cowboy School you’ll have a chance to experience and learn the real-life range skills every cowboy must possess in a fun, friendly setting.

In order to achieve a certain level of success, our experienced instructors/cowboys will work together with you and your assigned horse....After our five-day course, you’ll know that you’ve been part of a real cowboy school and will have a tremendous sense of accomplishment that others who haven’t attended can only read and dream about.

At the end of your course, you'll participate in a timed event competition to see who will earn the "Montana Cowboy School" CHAMPION belt buckle!

At Montana Cowboy School you’ll find experienced cowboys as your instructors, along with mouth-watering meals.

In addition, there’s nothing like the experience of "Big Sky" country. It’s something that’s impossible to describe - You have to experience Montana to have a true appreciation of Big Sky country!
