Horseback Riding
Whether you’re an experienced rider, or you’ve never been on a horse; we have the riding and horses for you to enjoy your dude ranch vacation. Our wranglers will match you with an appropriate horse for your skill level. Ride in mountain terrain, lope across wide open fields and traverse the Judith River all from the back of your trusty steed. You might ride back and forth across the River, to the local Elk Preserve or up to Porcupine Ridge for a breakfast cookout. With our neighboring 2.8 million acres of the Helena Lewis and Clark National Forest, there's endless trails to explore under the Big Sky.
We offer two rides per day, except Sundays when the horses get the afternoon off. New guests will take a slow walking ride first, and then can move onto more advanced “Fast Rides,” offered a few times per week, with trotting and loping if you demonstrate you can safely control your horse.
Age Minimums: Slow rides — 5 years old, Fast Rides — 8 years old
