Cowboy Camp is not for the faint of heart, and it’s like a rite of passage for Yellowstone casts. Along with preparing them for the scenes involving horses and cowboying in the shows, it also helps the ensemble bond. That became clear when I spoke to Dutton Ranch’s Natalie Alyn Lind as she revealed one exercise from this training camp that left everyone “cheering and going crazy.”
Again, Cowboy Camp is intense, and it's different from show to show, as the Marshals’ cast has to learn different skills than Dutton Ranch’s ensemble. For the new actors on Rip and Beth's show, they trained for a week before they began filming. According to Lind, who plays Oreana Jackson, there’s “no better way to put yourself in a character’s mindset” than through this training.
