Yellowstone has a short summer season, and remains a good part of the year under snow. As such, our ranch and horses stay the winters in a warmer place. This gives the ground time to heal after a grazing and riding season. Frequently, wildlife from Yellowstone migrate to lower elevations, like our ranch in the winter. Less people and pressure keep these creatures alive.

Our liability insurance does not allow riding “double” (two riders on the same horse). If it would ease your mind, you could ask the guide to attach a halter rope & lead your child's horse, during the ride. (I would suggest you add that request, when booking your reservation online).

We can’t hold the ride for late arrivals, so please give yourself plenty of time to get here. Traffic, construction, and even buffalo crossings can slow you down!

Each horse has it's own temperament, ride schedule, and capacity. Our wranglers care for and know these behaviors. We have the serious responsibility to ensure your ride is smooth.
