Frequently Asked Questions & Answers ...

“Do you have a weight limit for horseback riding?”

Yes,our weight limit in restricted to 275 pounds.  However, we do exercise caution in mounting guests who are disproportionately heavy and/or excessively heavy. There are several factors that must be considered in determining whether or not an individual is too heavy or too big to ride, including: rider’s riding experience/ability, size of the horse, type of terrain, speed of ride, etc. With regard to the actual weight factor, we feel very confident that our horses can safely carry loads weighing up to 20% of their body weight including rider and saddle/tack . . . as a general rule. Naturally, we’ll use our discretion in choosing an appropriately sized horse for large riders. With our guests’ safety in mind, we reserve the right to restrict riding opportunities for heavy and overly heavy riders to level terrain, walking-only rides or even removing riding opportunities for that guests stay.

“Do you offer any riding besides nose-to-tail?”

Yes. Most of our mountain trail riding requires single file riding for obvious reasons. However, many of our faster riding opportunities offer those in control of their mount to spread out a bit provided the terrain is appropriate for such. Gathering and moving cattle will also provide for riding opportunities other than nose to tail.

“Will you add a gratuity or service charge to our final bill?”

No. Our weekly rates are all inclusive, which provides each guest’s lodging, meals, riding and evening entertainment.  Gratuities are not required, but left to each guest’s personal discretion.

“Where is the nearest airport located?”

Our nearest commercially served airport is located just outside Bozeman, MT which is an hour’s drive west of the ranch. We are happy to meet you by prior arrangement ($80.00 per person round trip).

“Do you have internet access?”

Yes. We have a limited WiFi network for those who choose to bring their personal lap top computers.
