Shout out to our wrangler Ally and Buttercup, she did a great job, a couple of horses got spooked by the dirt bikes on the same trails but 10/10 how she handled the situation!

As a family we have ridden horses on guided tours in Utah and Colorado and I have to say, our ride most recently with Brad at Elk River Adventures in Red Lodge has been the best!

    ★★★★★ Lynette, Aug 2023

Before you ride

  1. Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Jeans stop the saddle rubbing your legs, and a heel keeps your foot from sliding through the stirrup. Sandals and flat sneakers are a poor fit.
  2. Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
  3. Ask about rider rules. Each stable sets its own limits on age, weight and riding experience. Ask before you book so nobody in your group is turned away.
