FAQs

We use an application because She’s a Hand is a small, hands-on, high-touch experience, and keeping groups intentionally limited ensures every woman gets real time, real instruction, and real cattle work. Women travel from all over the country and world to attend, and the application helps us build a group that’s ready for the full ranch experience.
It also allows us to make sure expectations are aligned and that each session includes a mix of backgrounds and experience levels, which creates a richer, more effective learning atmosphere.
Most importantly, it helps us reserve spots for women who are truly committed, because space is limited and demand is high.

Nope, we will help you gain the skills of an experienced hand before you leave. This camp is for any women who wants to gain confidence to jump in when working cattle at home. It can be hard to find the time to perfect these skills in the normal hustle and bustle of life which is why we are taking time to go over these skills in a stress free environment.
-
Of course! We will help you prepare for the day when you do have cattle to work. We do feel like it will be easier to retain the skills if you do use them, but you can get a head start and gain the confidence before you begin working your own herd.
-
You must be 18 years or older to attend She’s a Hand Ranch Camp.
-
We’ll only be doing ground work. We believe it’s important to master the basics before adding in an additional layer of difficulty.
You don’t need to bring a horse or have cattle handling experience with a horse. We will be using equipment and teaching your techniques to use from the ground!
-
The price includes everything once you get to Montana! That means it includes transportation from the airport and for the duration of the camp, lodging, all meals, activities, the cattle we work, the use of the ranch and our instructors' time. The only cost you have outside of camp is your travel to the airport and any snacks or drinks you choose to buy outside of what is provided!
-
Yes! We are excited to give you the opportunity to practice the skills we talk about directly after going over them. Above we have included a comprehensive list of the things we are planning on going over but if there is something that you want to go over that you don’t see, don’t hesitate to ask!
-
Most women come by themselves, and friendships form fast.
-
Once your spot has been confirmed, there is no refund option available.
