100% of your time will be spent
on mountain trails in the National Forest - no roads!
 We offer rides that are suitable for the
whole family including families with small children and we specialize in
offering horses and rides for riders of all ages and experience levels. We own
and personally maintain all of our own horses which creates a healthy
environment and cooperative attitude in our herd. This insures that you will be
riding only the highest quality mountain horses.
Choose between one, two, three, four, and five hour
rides as well as several half-day rides. Take a partial day ride up to a scenic
high mountain lake or choose between several different full day packages
including a ride over the Continental Divide that climbs to over 12,500 feet in
elevation! In addition to our scheduled trail rides we also offer private group
rides on request.
