Montana Annual Horse Roundup and Drive ~ Each year, Montana Horses hosts a Spring Roundup that's right out of the old West, with a three-day horse-drive from the hills around Willow Creek back to the home ranch on the Missouri River. (The Mantle family has been in the horse business for generations.) Participants (limited to 20 guests) help round up several hundred head of horses from their winter range, then trail them thirty miles back to their summer home – right through Three Forks! Some riding experience is required. The better you ride, the more fun you'll have chasing the cagey horses through the sagebrush.
In the afternoon of day two of the three-day event, the horses run down Main Street in Three Forks to their holding pasture for the night. Join in additional activities throughout the day, including a cowboy poetry and western music show at the Ruby Theatre featuring the Gallatin Valley Junior Fiddlers and Kail Mantle. Then, dance the night away to Sid Stromme and his Cowboy Swing Band. For the whole family. Come join the excitement!
Three Forks Montana High School Rodeo ~ High school competitors from all across Montana test their skills in traditional rodeo events such as bareback riding, barrel racing, team roping, bull riding, and more.
