WESTERN HERITAGE

Preserving the Spirit of the West

Part of TRMF’s mission is to entertain and educate the public through experiences that bring the Old West alive. This project will be loved by people who live for “The West” or are curious about it. And, it addresses the need for a safe and modern rodeo facility, inspiring even those unfamiliar with The West to discover the cowboy spirit and have life-changing experiences.

The rodeo arena will honor past and present Cowboys, Cowgirls, and Native Americans who make a living off the land or in the saddle. It will give competitive rodeo folks a first-class competition arena, ensuring safety for them and their animals. And it will inspire the traveling public through educational programming (Medora Cowgirl Camp) and exciting events like rodeos and bucking broncs.

The new riding stables will be a campus purposefully designed for the horses, guests wanting to ride, and wranglers. The layout ensures an easy flow from the moment guests step out of the car to stepping down from the horse after their trail ride. The riders will start their horse experience in the main building to check-in and receive instruction before heading outside to meet their horse and get saddled up. With apartments on the upper level, wranglers will be able to care for the horses just steps from their living space. While the stables will have outdoor and indoor stalls, a veterinary room, and a tack room, the outside area will also include an event space, arena, and maintenance building.

If you believe the world would be a better place if more people experienced The West and lived the Code of the West, make a gift here.
