LOTRA received statewide news coverage of a front-page story titled “Stay West: LOTRA’s Thriving Indoor Arena.” Written by Marit Gookin for the December 3 Riverton Ranger and the December 4 Lander Journal, it was also picked up by the Wyoming Tribune Eagle front page and ran in several other Wyoming newspapers. We hope you take the time to read about our successes. The full story can be found at

There’s a famous photo of Lander, taken by local photographer Ted Carlson. A herd of cattle span across the center of Main Street, led by a cowboy on a horse
