Our horses for lease are best suited for the recreational rider and the guest ranch industry. They are gentle, quiet, solid mountain trail horses that have been exposed to the rigors of mountain trail riding and elk camp and the unique dude ranching environment. We rent seasoned horses with the right temperament. We know both sides of this business and can find the right horses for your individual operation. Vacationers, Hunters & Trail Riders- Horses are the quickest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to see the backcountry or get your camp in and you to the elk or fish. We offer gentle saddle and pack horses for lease by the trip or by the season. We can also supply riding and pack equipment or wall tents and camp stoves. We deliver to your favorite hunting area or have Horse Trailers available for lease by the day or trip. Guest Ranches, Trail Rides, Outfitters & Camps - We rent horses that can be safely worked into your operation. Supplement your existing string or lease an entire string of mountain horses that are able to take on the rigors of the dude season. These are seasoned horses that pack or ride and can handle most guests you have. We encourage you to come to the ranch and choose your own horses to meet your demands. Our rates make seasonal leasing an affordable alternative to ownership. This option is perfect for the seasonal dude industry or seasonal horse rider. We reserve the same horses for you each year so you can keep the horses you like and have worked into your program. Best of all, if you do not like the horse we will replace him with one that you do like! Ask about our pack clinics, overnight accommodations & ranch stays.
