Fast Facts

• Horse Breed:Predominantly Quarter Horses, with some Paints and crossbreeds.
• Pace:Most of the rides are conducted at a walking pace only. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, a faster ride is also on offer where guests will get to enjoy a steady lope when the terrain allows. However, in order to take part in the faster ride, guests will need to pass a ‘lope’ test in an enclosed arena first, to demonstrate you can safely control your horse at this faster pace.
  Please note that for safety reasons, the horses are always ridden single-file in a set order.
• Type of tack:Western saddles and bridles.
• Time in Saddle:You can choose to ride in the morning, in the afternoon, or both! So on average, 1 to 3 hours per day.
• Ride Length:3 to 6 night itineraries available.
• Seasons:May to September.
• Group size:Approximately 30 guests per week. You will be split into smaller groups of 10-12 guests each day for riding.
• Riding Ability:Beginner and nervous intermediate riders who are looking to increase their confidence by spending time in the saddle on quality ranch horses.  Not sure what your riding ability is? Watch THIS video to find out.
• Weight Limit:A maximum of 113kg / 250lbs. It is VERY important that you provide your current weight accurately when booking. If your weight is not accurate, we cannot guarantee that your hosts will have a horse for you to ride.
• Accommodation:Accommodation ranges from charming historic cabins with sweeping ranch views, cosy fireplaces and either a wet bar or kitchenette, to the welcoming lodge, which offers a full kitchen, dining room, spacious living room and three guest rooms known as the Buffalo Rooms, perfect for couples. Larger groups and families can settle into the Ranch House – a generous four-bedroom, three-bathroom home that comfortably sleeps eight and provides an easy, relaxed base for a Montana getaway. Each room is equipped with basic toiletries, a hair dryer, and free WiFi.
• Food:Meals at the ranch are served in the welcoming lodge dining room, where all guests are encouraged to interact over the long tables. Mornings begin with hearty homemade favourites – think pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, or a warm breakfast burrito – along with lighter continental options if you prefer something simple before heading out. Lunch keeps you fuelled for the afternoon’s adventures, and in the evening everyone gathers back in the lodge for generous, comforting dishes such as steaks, pork chops, pastas and fresh trout, often enjoyed beside the crackling wood-burning fireplace on cooler nights. This is simply but hearty Western fare.
  Most dietary requirements can be catered for with enough advance notice.
