EQUINE BOARDING


 

For Reservations


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 necessary 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)

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.)

Frequently Asked Questions


 

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.

 

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 boarding your horse with us, you may join a regular ride (with your own 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.


Do we need to send our payment ahead of time?
No. Over the years we have found the equestrian public to be very responsible people.  We know things come up at the last minute and plans need to be changed, especially where livestock is concerned.  We ask, as a courtesy,  that you notify us as soon as possible if your plans do change.


May we join one of your guided tours and  part of us ride our own horse and part of our group ride your horses?
Yes, but the only advantage of doing that would be to allow you to break away from the guided group at some point in the half-day ride and set out on your own.  The riders riding the ranch's horses will not be allowed to break away, they will stay with the guided ride.


Do we have to sign release forms?

Yes, because you are on the Diamond P Ranch a release form needs to be signed.
