Horseback Rides
See the Flathead Valley by air! Well, almost. While we can’t promise you a ride on Pegasus, we do climb on our earth-bound horses to elevations where the views of the Flathead Valley, Flathead Lake, and the Swan Mountain Range are nothing less than spectacular.
Our horseback rides are all guided, and go through miles of private timberland on both horse trails and logging roads. Though we do offer shorter lesson rides for the novice rider ($30 per hour), our most popular ride, and the one providing the most fabulous scenery in the shortest amount of time, is our morning or afternoon ride ($50). We also offer a half-day horseback ride, which includes a snack ($100); and a full day trail ride, which includes a picnic lunch at a spot overlooking the Flathead Valley ($160).
On longer trail rides, we ride through mountain forests that break out onto clear plateaus with panoramic scenery, thus providing a variety of terrain.
The Western Barbecue Dinner ride is our personal favorite. Enjoy a late afternoon horseback ride to the mountaintop, followed by relaxing around the campfire while we prepare a traditional western barbecue. Meats are cooked over an open wood fire (veggie burgers can be substituted), and served with all the trimmings at the head of a secluded, peaceful meadow. $75 per person.
Here for a family reunion? With advance notice, our Western Barbecue can be scheduled for large groups or private parties. Take the kids horseback riding for the afternoon, and meet up with the grandparents around the campfire at dinnertime. Let everyone get a taste of the west!
Because we operate in the mountains, all our rides are at a walk. We provide helmets. Shoes (not sandals) are required, as well as long pants (not shorts).
