Top50 Ranches and Discover Outdoor Life kicks off its travel web series, Discover Ranches, featuring The Hideout Lodge and Guest Ranch.
”Discover Ranches”, the new web series featured at DiscoverOutdoorLife.com kicks off with: “The Hideout: Inspiration” -an episode sure to inspire people around the globe. It features The Hideout Lodge and Guest Ranch in Shell, Wyoming, an all-inclusive upscale working cattle and riding ranch renown for its horsemanship program. The episode takes a look at ranch operator Mirjan Decabooter’s journey from being a non-rider, afraid of horses, to becoming an accomplished horsewoman who now leads expeditions and teaches others how to ride.
“Mirjan came from a metropolitan city in Belgium to Shell, Wyoming to operate a ranch where she knew nothing about the people, the culture, let alone horses. She learned to overcome a fear of horses, learned the language, and became an excellent horsewoman. All of us at Discover Outdoor Life find her to be a true inspiration -not just to women but people everywhere,” says Kerry Lambert, Producer.
The Hideout Ranch and Guest Lodge
If riding is your thing, then look no further. The Hideout is also a hard-core equestrian’s dream with its variety of topography and freedom.

Participate in a cattle drive, dine on excellent food and retire to spacious, well-appointed cabins, most with beautiful views of the dramatic Wyoming landscape.

ENDS
- Ranch Vacations are integral to not only our history, but to the preservation and sustainability of our land and the people around.
- The underlying purpose of Discover Ranches Travel Series is to preserve the ranching heritage and shed light on how ranches are making greater contributions to the land and people around them.
- Unlike some tourism products out there, your typical guest ranch is a business inextricably linked with altruism and a love of the human condition, animals, the ecosystem, community and authentic connection with the land.
- Ranchers feel so passionately about the land on which they live and sharing that love with the visitors who join their families, that a great deal of time is dedicated and devoted to protecting the environment through constant collaboration, education and advocating sustainable practices, and supporting local communities.
- Ranch Vacations are an education whereby many guests’ lives are forever changed. As Bill Porcher, wrangler at Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort, states ‘…many guests have said this was the most life-changing experience of their lives’.
- As ranch vacation owner, Debbie Atha of Free Rein Guest Ranch states, ‘only with the continued patronage of our inspirational guests can we persist in in these missions to make the world a better place. Guests at a ranch are touched in some unique way that they never thought possible and are educated and motivated on a larger scale to also make an impact on the land and people around them’.
Your endorsements to this campaign makes an impact on a larger scale and helps make the underlying purpose - and larger contributions - by ranches achievable.
