Yellowstone Horses-Eagle
Ridge Ranch Daily Schedule
|
MOUNTAIN
HALF-DAY TRIP (morning) (Mount at 9:45 a.m.)
$95per/rider
These trips are the most beautiful rides in the world! The trails are
steep, but not dangerous.  We ride up onto the high mountain ridges and
down into the deep ravines. We usually see wildlife and even in late
summer there are still wild-flowers blooming up that high! These rides
are fantastic! Our guides conduct the
rides to satisfy the desires of our
guests which include things like rate of travel. In most cases,
however, there will be some trotting on the morning rides. There
are fantastic picture taking oportunities on this ride. Groups
often go on the 1/2 day ride and come back to the ranch and spend the
rest of the day boating, (we lend you the boat) fishing (we lend
you the fishing pole and you don't need a license!), swimming (there is
even a swing line) roping bales of hay (the guides will show you how)
|
MORNING TWO HOUR RIDE (Mount at 9:45 a.m.)
$75per/rider
The two hour morning ride is good for
those not wanting to go up on the mountain but yet wanting to ride when
it's cool. This will give them ample time to fish, swim, and go boating after they return

EVENING RIDE (Mount
at 4:00
p.m.) $75 per/rider Six
days a week the guides from
Yellowstone Horses Outfitters offer an evening ride which starts at
4:00 p.m.
(2 Hours) This ride is not as vigorous nor as long as the 1/2 day
rides; they
are casual, gentle, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. We ride amidst
the
natural habitat of the moose, coyotes, and nesting geese and trumpeter
swan. The guides will be happy to take
your
pictures at any time during the ride.
The guides will tell you some of the history,
experiences, and even some
of the folklore associated with the ranch.
Guests are encourage to come early and take
advantage of all the available
activities. The cost of the ride covers
everything!
|
FALL RIDE The trips after
Labor Day, are a totally different experience! The fall rides are
ablaze with glorious color, the rapid, rushing water of many of the
creeks has
slowed and the streams are easy to cross.The boggy portions of the
meadows
have
firmed up and the horse's footing is sound. We usually move at a slower
pace, taking lots
of time to take pictures.
This is the mating season of some
of the area's wildlife; we might even hear some of the mating calls on
the fall rides! There is only one fall ride each day and is structured
to fit the needs of the
group, if we have some extra adventurous groups, we can mold this ride
to be as challenging, or as long as you want. Because the numbers are
few, the cost of the ride will depend on how long and what time of day
you want to ride. Jackets and gloves are recommended; the
weather can change fast here in the mountains and it's best to be
prepared!

Western Family Cookout -Dutch Oven (Mount at 4:00 p.m.)
$110 per/rider
ages 12 & up (kids $100)
The
ride starts at 4:00 pm with a fun, relaxing, beautiful two hour horse
ride.
Without following any specific system of trails, the guides go through
the trees,
meadows and around the lakes of the huge Eagle Ridge, the largest ranch
in
Eastern Idaho and South western Montana. Guests then return to the
barn, say
farewell to their horses and are taken to a beautiful outdoor mountain
setting
amongst the wild flowers and pine trees
for a fabulous Dutch Oven Meal.
The food portions are large; you will not be
disappointed!
The
menu typically includes the following: 
1. Dutch oven
spare ribs
2. Dutch oven
potatoes
3. Green salad
4. Soda or
water for beverage
5. Dutch oven
peach cobbler
6. scones
made fresh while you eat! They are made with a secret
family recipe served with honey butter or cinnamon.
(People
have been
known to come back just for the scones)
·
We promise
you will be satisfied! After the meal is
through, typically we stand
around the campfire singing a few of the old time favorites. We usually wrap things up around 7:30 pm but
we don't try to rush you.
The
Western Family Cookout Ride is not a scheduled daily event; it is
designed for
groups and we need a minimum number of riders in order to schedule so
give us a
call and see what is available.
