Half or Full Day Rides
Each morning at breakfast Kurt makes his way through the Lodge asking everyone what they want to do for the day: hiking, fly fishing, simply relaxing, or riding. Riders choose a half day or full day rides. We do not offer PM rides. Morning rides are about 2 hours, and full day rides are from 3-6 hours. Mondays we only offer lunch rides due to getting everyone matched up with their horses. There is no lunch served on ranch on Mondays (everyone packs a lunch). Please note we do not offer the option to go on an AM ride, come back to the ranch, and go on a PM ride or ride out on the trail and come back and ride in the arena. These things sour our horses and our horse’s happiness is very important to us. If your desire is to ride a full day, choose the full day ride, you won’t regret it, and lunch on the trail is fabulous!
Return guests usually have an idea of where they want to go, but Kurt can also choose a ride you’re sure to enjoy. We tailor each ride to your preferences and experience, trying to cater to everyone’s abilities. If you have never rode a horse, we ask that you get a few lessons before arriving to the ranch due to the mountain terrain we ride in. All rides are guided. We keep our groups small with 4-6 people in a group. We no longer offer loping rides and only offer one short day trotting ride per week to experienced riders.
New guests meet at the barn Monday morning at 8:45AM for orientation and get setup on horses. Morning and full day rides generally go out between 9:30-10:00AM. Mondays we pack a lunch because we generally are a little later getting out due to getting everyone matched up with their horses. While all rides are filled with dramatic, pristine views of the countryside, the perennial favorite is the full ride with unforgettable views of the Rocky Mountains while enjoying a trail-side lunch.
