Dewayne and Deanna Noel make you feel like part of their family as soon as you arrive. Their hospitality is like no other and you leave feeling like you ought to stay just a while longer. The food was excellent and the accommodations were just what you expect for a cowboy/wrangler experience. Even if you are not looking to become a wrangler or cowboy, Dewayne’s knowledge about horses that he shares is a tremendous gift to you and your horse experience for the rest of your life. Dewayne has been around the world working with all types of horses. This knowledge not only gives you a better understanding of the horse but also as a rider, husbandry and life itself. He is a man that has learned through his time on the range and with patience and care helps you understand why you are doing the things your doing and not just doing it because that’s the way it’s done. I left Dry Creek Wrangler School a better rider, a better horse care taker and to some extent a better man. The camaraderie that is shared with the students around the camp fires, meals and classes are what this world is missing. A bond is formed with all who is there to each other, the horses (and Reba , the mule) and with the Noels. I am forever grateful for the time spent with Dry Creek Wrangler School. I will return for more as learning knows no bounds. I will also be returning because it’s just great fun and company. If you are looking to find more knowledge about horses and the horse experience, this is the place to go! There is no other school or experience close to this one. Wether you are a beginner or old hand, Dewayne will teach you something that will always be with you and help you throughout your life. Dwayne is the original Super Puncher! My hat off to Dewayne and Deanne for creating a welcoming environment for all. Also thanks to Brian for his help and friendship.

Dewayne and Deanna are great people, great instructors, and amazing cooks! The classes were very down to earth and I felt like I could ask anything, even the most basic questions and Dewayne had no problem answering them. The horsemanship portion of the school was broken down to the point that even the more difficult skills could be learned easily. Overall I would recommend this school to anyone looking to go into wrangling out west or even back east. 10/10.

The week that I spent at Dry Creek Wrangler School was one of the most informative and enjoyable weeks I have ever spent. We learned many things about being a wrangler and the responsibilities that they assume. The rustic country setting and the meals cooked over open fires were top notch. I would highly recommend the school to anyone interested in horses and the wrangler way of life. Thank you Dewayne and Deana Noel for a great week.

Just returned from the 2nd week of this schools existence… and I wish I were still there. This is an exceptional opportunity to gather with like-minded people and learn from the master. In a word, DeWayne is Genuine - he is the real deal. The wealth of information coupled with sit-down and hands-on field learning would itself be enough but the camaraderie and welcomed feeling you cannot miss is heart warming. I cannot wait to go back and be with DeWayne, Deanna (Momma) and all.

Dry Creek Wrangler School is a wonderful place. It’s like traveling back in time. The people are terrific and do everything they can to make you feel like part of the family. If you want to learn about horsemanship this is your place. Hands down, Dewayne Noel is one of the best wranglers I’ve ever been around.
