Horses
 Horseback riding is the primary activity and,
historically, the most popular activity on the Powderhorn
Ranch. Our horse program is unique, dynamic, and will satisfy
any experience level of rider.
We offer riding from Monday through Saturday during
your adventure.
Our dramatic, scenery-laden horse rides vary from around
2 hours, to longer, high-country trips.
Our string of surefooted horses and our experienced
and knowledgeable wranglers will guide you through
beautiful scenery and breathtaking views with
every hoof beat.
Our rides go out twice each day through aspen and pine
scented forests. While we cater to EVERY experience level – we
only allow single file riding. We insist on single file for
the safety of our guests, and our horses (and the obvious
geographical complexity of our unique trail system).
 We take the time to evaluate each adult or child
individually to make the right horse, rider connection.
We will choose the right horse for each of our guest
according to their ability and that horse will be
yours for the week.
We offer FREE expert horse instruction, and our horse
riding lesson program is without equal. We also
offer private horse instruction for an additional
nominal fee. Riding instruction is part of the
weekly program. You can even choose assist the
Wranglers in grooming and feeding our herd!
At the Powderhorn Ranch, we maintain our own herd of
over 40 horses to accommodate any level of experience.
Our horses are our babies – not lease horses – we do not
rent them out, and we treat them like our own kids.
For
your riding pleasure and safety - we give special attention
to novice riders and children. We also have experience
with and offer horse programs for special need children
and adults.
