Horseback Rides

|
| Before June, and all of the snow has melted in Island
Park. The Halo Ranch Outfitters take their horseback rides
out on the Juniper Mountains in Western Fremont County. From June
until October these rides are conducted in Island Park. |
| The Tom Angell family of St. Anthony own the Halo Ranch Outfitters located in Island Park, Idaho. | The snow stays on the ground much longer in ISLAND PARK than down in the valleys of Eastern Idaho. Each spring, up until about the third week in May, the horseback rides are conducted on Juniper Mountain, which is located just north of the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. Most of the deer, elk, and other wildlife that spend their summers and fall in Island Park, spend their winter and early spring on or near Juniper Mountain! | Most of these field trips are for the Upper Valley secondary school science classes, but in the last few years, there has been an increasing demand for recreational type rides for different school clubs, scout groups, and other membership groups with advisors. These rides are guided, but a specific teaching area is not specified as they are with the science classes. Equine Merit badges are often worked on. |
| Rates:
|
During
May and June, special group rates are available to scouts, church groups,
and other membership type groups. During July and August the rates are
the same as the regular rides, but special rides are available to fit
the needs and desires of the group. |

trail ride staff can accomodate Scout Troops who desire to do merit

| The history of the
area, especially for the past two hundred years, can be stressed,
according to the wishes and desires of the advisors.
Rides can actually be conducted that offer a little of everything that is related to the interests of the group.

Mr. Angell is a certified secondary teacher with a masters degree in Natural Science. Mr. Angell has taught biology and other science classes for a total of 31 years. From 1992, until its conversion to BYU Idaho, he was also involved, with his horses, in Ricks College field biology classes. | There are horses available for students of all levels of experience riding horses including no experience at all! Part of this horseback riding experience can include grooming and saddling if so desired. All rides include riding instructions. The instructors are probably the best anywhere when it comes to teaching the horsemanship portion of these rides. |
