Here at Montana Horses, owned and operated by us - Kail Mantle & Renee Daniels-Mantle, we run several hundred head of saddle horses on and around our ranch near Three Forks, MT. We are a horse leasing business with clients from top-notch recreational equine operations across the Northwest and private horse enthusiatists.  The Mantle Family has been in the horse business for over a century.  All told, the family has thousands of working horses scattered across a few ranches in the West. The Mantle name has become synonymous with the horse business and we uphold a long and proud tradition of quality horse leasing.
Our business is simple - we locate, purchase, and maintain a herd of quality, gentle horses who are reliable and useful in various disciplines and provide them to people by lease or sale.  Most of our clients are not professional horsemen.  Our horses are suited specifically to recreational horse enthusiasts.  We know we have the best horses in the business and we are uniquely qualified to serve this section of the horse world very well.
The Horses:

We specialize in safe and sound.  Our great group of lease horses consists primarily of quarter horses and quarter horse crosses.  We love a good big-boned stout horse with a quiet disposition and the right attitude for this business.  Though we have a little of everything, most of our horses are suited for the beginning rider.  They both ride and pack, and are solid all-around mountain trail horses.  We run both mares and geldings, usually mid-aged (7-18), in all shapes, colors, breeds, and sizes. (We do not use gaited horses or mules in our leasing program.)   Our brand  )V(   is located on the right hip.  Each horse also has an individual identification number on their left shoulder.  Every horse has a name and we know it and love every horse on our place. 
In Montana since 1995, we began with 14 head of horses.  Eventually, we built our incredible herd and our ranch and now provide a much needed service - seasonal horse leasing and quality horse sales across the West.  Kail grew up in the horse lease business in Wyoming and met Renee in South Dakota where we operated a trail ride business for several years, utilizing horses leased from the family ranch in Wyoming - Wyoming Horses.  We have operated our own trail ride businesses and guest ranches and our working ranch and leasing operation and have handled every aspect from the ground level up.  We have been lessors and lessees. We buy for our own operation.  We understand this particular part of the horse business from all angles.  We are truly a small owner-operated business that was created and grown from its own merit and resources.  We place our stamp of approval on all of our undertakings.

OUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY is this - in order to be successful, we must sell our services and our horses at a profit and still satisfy our customers.  If we satisfy our customers but fail to make a profit, we will soon be out of business.  If we make the profit but fail to satisfy our customer, we will soon be out of customers.  The secret of doing both lies in one word - service.  Service means doing something so valuable for the customer that he is glad to pay a price that allows us to make a profit.  We strive to take care of our customer.
