Wranglers are the experienced riders who take groups of people out on trail rides. In Bill's case, he works just outside of Jackson Hole at the TriangleX Ranch. He is responsible for tacking up the horses, helping the riders mount and get their stirrups adjusted, being sure each horse he takes out is sound and suitable for the rider, and for keeping the riders safe while having fun on the trails.
Each wrangler takes a set of supplies in their saddle bags for emergencies, such as pliers, rope, a knife, a hammer, a hoof pick, and emergency medical equipment. But more fun for the riders (sometimes called "dudes") is the knowledge of the area where they are riding because a wrangler will answer one hundred questions in a day if they answer anything at all.
