What riders say about Sandpoint stables

Western Pleasure Guest Ranch

We had the most wonderful week at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch. I was searching for a "dude ranch" experience that was really horse-focused, yet still attainable for beginning riders. This place was so perfect -- it surpassed all expectations. We had options to ride every morning and every afternoon.

Adventure Pony Rides

This place was absolutely amazing! We took our kids (SIX total) to ride ponies/horses and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Jennifer was so awesome with the kiddos and her Girls she had working beside her were equally amazing.

★★★★★ Courtney, Jul 2022

Mountain Horse Adventures

I had a blast riding Galactic, a handsome draft mule. This guy took me up into the mountains on a thrilling trail ride. We meandered past firs, pines, with a light breeze and three other riders. Chrissy guided us, answered our questions, and gave us helpful riding tips.
