Wrangler
A-Ok Corral
Jackson, Wyoming, United States
I worked for A-OK Corral taking guest rides into Bridger Teton National Forest. I loaded my guests, of varying skill level, onto their horses and started with an introduction of myself and the horses. I then organized them into a single file line and took them safely on the trail. The trips I took guests on were anywhere from 1-8 hours. I also took fishing trips out with the horses. Working with large animals and guests from varying backgrounds I gained many skills. I learned how to better communicate with different types of people, and how to use other forms of communication if language was not an option. I also had to put my first aid skills to use. Out in the National Forest I was the only professional if something went wrong, this fact encouraged me to stay prepared for any situation.
