Boarding
for the vacationer
If you are bringing your horse with
you while vacationing in Yellowstone Country, The Diamond 'P' Ranch provides short term
boarding and trailer parking. All horses are required to have
proof of a Coggins health record for
boarding. Reservations are preferred to insure availability of corrals and parking.
Mosquitos are not a real problem, but horseflies are! Bring your repellant. (we don't vaccinate our herd for West Nile Virus)
Leasing
Why leasing? You can ride a horse, at your leisure, whenever you feel like it! It is a great opportunity to have a horse
without the expense of purchasing, transporting, feeding, or the veterinary and farrier
expenses.
You may lease from 1 to 6 days a week $100.00/day boarding included.

| The Diamond 'P' Ranch is
located on the Continental divide between Montana and Idaho.
You can park your trailer, saddle your horse, and then ride in any
direction! The most often chosen areas are directly south of the
Diamond 'P' Ranch into the remote back-country portion of Yellowstone
Park or directly west of the ranch up onto the steep mountain peaks and
among the crags and crevices of the Continental Divide. Some
choose to ride among the cattle roaming down in the low country (7000
feet). You can even follow the old stage coach trail that ran
into Yellowstone Park back ninety years ago. All of this you can
do right from the ranch! If you choose to trailer your horses
back into the portion of Yellowstone Park that is frequented by humans,
you can do that as well. (Those trails are well marked as opposed
to the country surrounding the Diamond 'P' Ranch.) |

Is there a weight limit for riders? We have horses for all weights, including large horses for large people!
How old do you have to be to lease horses? We ask that the children be of school age and able to follow directions.
Is there a time that the ranch gates will be locked? Yes! If you plan to be back at a late hour, arrangements must be made with one of the guides or wranglers; ordinarily the gates are closed at dusk.
Is transportation provided, for leased horses, to far away places? No. Sometimes arrangements are made with one of the ranch's guides to use their own personal truck and trailer, but the Diamond 'P' Ranch does not get involved.
Do our horses need proof of Coggins tests? Yes, a client's horses must have un updated copy of a Coggins test by a state approved laboratory.
I am going to be in the area for vacation. Do you provide guides for your mountain trails? Yes, we do, but you will be asked to join one of the regular half day
rides. If you are leasing the horse from us, you may break away
from the rest of the group at any time. If you are boarding your horse
with us, you may join a regular ride (with your horse) but you will
still be required to pay the regular fee for the ride. (not recommended) May I park my trailer at your facility? Trailers may
be parked at the facility, but will not be accessible after dark.
What if the horse we lease is injured or killed? Yes, whether leasing or boarding release forms need to be signed.
The
Brandin' Iron Inn works closely with the Diamond 'P' Ranch.
