One of our most fortunate friends is going Dude Ranching this summer at the historic A Bar A Ranch, in Wyoming to discover a whole new way of looking at the world – on the back of a horse. With wholesome activities, like trail rides, and fishing, swimming, shooting going on from morning to night, a cowgirl has got to get in gear. It can be quite chilly in the morning, beautifully warm during the day, and even a bit nippy at night, especially in June and September so we have put together a Packing List of layering pieces that will have you trotting on your way. By day, we suggest a tank or tee shirt under a long sleeve shirt, and top it off with a vest or jacket. By night, and cozy dinners around the camp fire, we dress it up a bit with a bit of suede, leather and gussied-up western wear. Ralph Lauren is the best source for all of the above and then some, we have put together some separates to keep you in great sunrise to sunset style.
