2025 Eaton’s Ranch Horse Drive Taking Place On Sunday, May 25th

The Memorial Day weekend for many is considered to be the unofficial start to the summer season, but Sheridan County has its own tradition.

This coming Sunday (May 25th) is the annual Eaton’s Ranch Horse Drive, as an estimated 100-200 horses will trot westward on Wyarno Road and 5th Street, to the Eaton’s Ranch on the northwest side of Sheridan.

The horses travel more than 100 miles over the course of about 3 days, from their winter pasture to the ranch, and it’s the last day that tends to get the public’s attention.

The ranch has been around since 1904, although it is unknown how long the horse drive has been going on.

A ranch spokesperson says it is estimated that the horses should arrive at 5th Street and I-90 at around 9am.
