History of the Rawhide Ranch

Owners Dan "Hoss" Cartwright, land developer (yes folks, his real name) and David Stirsman, attorney, have accomplished what they set out to do...the fulfillment of a dream.

Being longtime friends and business partners with common interests, "Hoss" and "Stirs" have traveled throughout the USA, visiting dude ranches, experiencing cross country horseback riding trail rides, and enjoying the the excitement of reliving the life of the Old West .

Wishing to share the "city slicker" experience, they purchased the Rawhide Ranch facility in September of 2001, and followed their dreams to Brown County, Indiana.
