Owned and operated by a family of professional cowboys

 
 
 
 
 
 
<> Even though  most of them no longer rodeo in full time competition, they all have the professional cowboy tradition and love to share their experiences. The Halo Ranch Outfitters are licensed to guide in both Idaho and Montana, the majority of their attention is devoted to the Diamond 'P' Ranch which is located on the Continental Divide between Idaho and Montana.  The Diamond 'P' Ranch is famous for its great horseback riding trips for the general public.  Guests can manipulate through the herds of livestock, including rodeo bulls and steers, as they ride across the vast pastures and into the steep mountainous area that adjoins the ranch.

The Halo Ranch Outfitters is a horseback riding operation located in Yellowstone Country.  This business is owned and operated by the Angell family of professional rodeo fame.  All of the men in this family are now, or have been involved in rodeo competition.

 For many years, the family produced rodeos throughout Idaho, Utah, Montana, Oregon, and Wyoming. During the rodeo producing era, Curley (Grandpa) and Tom (Dad) were also in active competition.  Curley, over the years, won several western state's final yearly saddle bronc riding championships.  Tom was very active in High School and College rodeos; he qualified for the National Finals, five different years, and attended college on Rodeo scholarships! Tom's four sons are now, or were active in rodeo competition.  Two of them attended college on rodeo scholarships, and qualified for the High School and College National Finals several times. One of them, Travis, holds the all-time record for the most Intermountain Professional Rodeo Association saddle bronc riding yearly championships!

The photos below are actual, action pictures of some of the guides who will be conducting the different tours. These photos were taken in a competitive setting.

Nearly everyone in the family team ropes.  Often, after spending the day riding in the mountains with the guests, the guides and wranglers will saddle their competition horses and spend a couple of hours team roping.

Although rodeo competition was important to all of our family member guides at one time, injuries and old-age has put part of the family "on-the-sideline".  However, because of their vast experience with competitive horses, as well as ordinary horses, we feel that our guides can handle any situation! 

 
 

NOTE:

  There are rodeos (some of them amateur) at numerous, close,  locations, every week, from the first of June until the first of September.
A great, possibly be the best anywhere, amateur rodeo is held right near the Diamond  P  Ranch three days a week from June 'till September!
