HORSEBACK TRIPS

     Our rides are unique in that they are customized for your group.  Trails are selected based on what you want to do and see and on your skill level.  You even select the time!  We trailer the horses to a pre-determined mountain trailhead and ride from there.  Rides are conducted on public (Forest Service and BLM) and private lands.  All types of riders are accommodated – from first-time riders to children over 6; from beginners to advanced riders; we even get those who own their own horses!

     Our clientele mostly consist of guests from several local lodges; people who own summer homes in the valley and bring their guests to ride with us year after year; or referrals from local residents and businesses.  Everyone is welcome!  We’ve been conducting rides in the Madison Valley since 1996 and have found two philosophies have contributed significantly to the success and enjoyment of our rides: 

1.  We don’t have a horse or a saddle in our string, that we wouldn’t ride ourselves, and…

2.  If our clients are having fun, we'll be having fun too!

 Come and See for Yourself!!!
