White Stallion Ranch, Tuscon AZ 2022

For the wrangler, their days started @5am and ended way past dark-thirty. What surprised me was the number of wranglers who were themselves “guests” who came to the ranch each season to volunteer to work the horses and do all the chores needed on a guest ranch. Below is a series of images of several of the wranglers and the activity they do to provide a “once in a lifetime” visit for guests who fly in from many different countries to experience our way of life.
