We believe the key to having healthy, happy horses is letting them live as nature intended. With over 2,000 deeded acres to roam, our horses have the space they need to relax, move freely, and socialize as they choose. As flight animals, this freedom keeps them calm, balanced, and mentally healthy—benefits that directly enhance the quality of each guest’s ride. When our horses thrive, so do our wranglers and our guests.

Because our horses live outdoors year-round, they spend their days grazing, exploring, and becoming fully familiar with the same land used for our trail rides. This creates more confident, sure-footed horses and a safer experience for riders. We also take great care to prevent overwork: no more than 4 working hours per day, no more than 8 hours in the corral, and an average of two days off each week.

Yes, it takes extra effort to round them up every morning and turn them out every afternoon—but our horses are worth every minute. And so are you.

To keep our horses healthy and in excellent condition, we provide the best environment possible. When they’re not working, our horses roam large pastures instead of standing in muddy or dusty corrals. They graze freely on nutrient-rich mountain grass, cool off in the pond on hot days, and rest in the shade of our aspen groves.

This lifestyle offers major health benefits—fewer hoof issues compared to horses kept in wet conditions, and fewer respiratory problems than those living in dry, dusty environments. Our horses stay happier, healthier, and more comfortable because they live like horses were meant to.
