What riders say about Whitefish stables

Bar W Guest Ranch

My daughter absolutely loved it. The horses were well cared for, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the whole place had a great authentic cowboy feel. Everyone made us feel very welcome, including as European visitors, and the trail ride was beautiful. A big plus is being able to book online so easily.

Sky River Equestrian Center

We found Sky River while searching for a summer work opportunity for my daughter to gain more experience around horses. The head trainer and the owners were kind enough to fit her into their program.
