Bonuses for the guests of Yellowstone Horses

Yellowstone Horses

(208) 558-7077

The Yellowstone Horses provides a lot of "little things" that most guest ranchs or outfitters do not

Go Fishing

Horseback riding guests are envited to go fishing in one of the ranch's lakes. The ranch even has some fishing tackle and a fishing licesnse is not necessary!.

Great Wildlife Viewing

Wolf Laying close up photo We're in Yellowstone country, but we're not in Yellowstone National Park. However, the park is only 7 miles away from us; there is no fence around Yellowstone Park! We see and hear wolves, coyotes, and elk. We see bear, mountain sheep, moose, and on and on. We have some of the greatest wildlife viewing in the country, and they are truly animals in the wild!

Genuine Chaps Available

Because of the rodeo background of the Halo Ranch Outfitters, who provide the horseback riding facilities at Yellowstone Horses, there are several pairs of chaps for guests that want them.

Genuine Western Hats
For that real authentic look, there is also a wall-full of genuine western hats!

Some of these hats are 10x beaver hats! They are all well used and they provide a true western look! Be sure you bring your camera!

Learn Roping Skills

Early arriving guests are taught the basics of handling a lariat, sometimes we even have a competition roping! (a hay bale)

Reservations: Reservations can be made by calling (208) 558-7077 If an after-hour situation develops, we can be reached by cell phone at (208) 390-8883. During the off-season, after phone call approval, rides may even be booked by e-mail. halo@yellowstonehorses.com

Horsemanship and Safety Training

The guides provide a short course in horsemanship and safety before the riders leave the corral. The guides then choose the guest's horses using factors such as size, age, and experience. The stirrups are carefully adjusted for comfort while riding in the mountains.

Very Remote
The area we ride in is very remote; after the first ten minutes in the saddle, more than likely you will not see another human being until we get back!

Ride Among Livestock

While traveling through the meadows, we ride among livestock. When you ride along side of a 1700 pound bull, be prepared for an adrenalin rush! You will have a true western ranch adventure along with the thrills of riding in the mountains. Be sure you bring a camera. Meadow-steer drinking

Trophy Saddles

Some of our guides were professional cowboys in their younger years, traveling throughout the Western United States in competition. In fact, several of the saddles that our guests will be riding are actually trophy saddles won by these professional cowboys! If you were going for a hike in the mountains, what would you rather wear, a brand new pair of boots or an old pair?

Well, the same applys to saddles; most of our saddles are older and well broke-in! We want you to be as comfortable as possible while out on these rides. Some of our saddles are long, some are short, some have cushion seats, and some even have high backs. Our guides will make every effort to put you in a saddle that best fits you!
