My husband and I decided to book this horseback riding experience based on previous reviews and the availability that worked with our week visit to the Bozeman area. We are experienced riders, but not professionals or regular riders in any way. To start our trip off, we received emailed directions to the ranch that seemed pretty easy to follow. I would suggest that they provide approximate mileage while on 89 heading towards Trail Creek Road as you're just driving blind waiting for the turnoff that mentions the green sanitation containers and to turn there. For those reading this, it's probably 10-15 miles before you reach that point. After a few turns, you will find yourself on a dirt/rocky/bumpy road for quite a while until you reach the ranch. Our rental car definitely took some abuse! Once we arrived at the "15 minutes prior to your ride" point, we were greeted by Chuck who was our lead guide. We found him to be personable and friendly and got us fitted with helmets right away. Our second guide was Stephanie, and she was equally as friendly and personable as Chuck which we both enjoyed and appreciated. We were matched with our horses, who were John and Dolly. John being the largest horse and Dolly being the smallest. Both horses were calm and good natured which is helpful for a relaxing trail ride. Once the other riders arrived (late) our group was ready to go. The horses walk the entire time for those curious if they run or trot in anyway...They do not. The trail followed the dirt road for quite a while which I felt was boring and disappointing to some degree. We did get off the road and went up a hill to see the gorgeous scenery and had the opportunity to take pictures which was nice. Overall, the trip was basic and uneventful in the middle of mountain views in every direction. If I were to make a suggestion for future trips, I would like to hear the guides offer more information about the area and what you were seeing. That can add much more interest to the rider altogether. Perhaps a route that isn't right along the dirt road, but more in the meadows that are surrounding the area. We saw zero wildlife but did encounter a couple of cows that seemed to have separated from their herd, otherwise, it was just peaceful and calm.
