Horseback riding is the best way to experience the majestic Rocky Mountains. The spectacular White River National Forest and Flat Tops Wilderness areas are accessed by numerous trailheads making each trail ride unique. If you're quiet, you may have the opportunity to see wildlife, such as mule deer, elk, coyotes or maybe even a bear.
Fall trail rides are a favorite. The mountain air is crisp and cool and the Aspen trees provide stunning views with their brilliant shades of golden yellow, orange and red interlaced in the evergreens.
We will provide an experienced guide to accompany you as you explore the high mountain trails to provide personal attention, instruction, and knowledge of the area to ensure that you enjoy your back country adventure.
Our dependable, sure-footed, mountain horses are individually trained for your riding pleasure so you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking views from the saddle. Whether you prefer a gentle, kid-safe mount or a spirited horse for the experienced rider, we do our best to ensure that horse and rider are compatible for a safe and enjoyable ride.
