Yellowstone Horses operates guided horseback riding experiences on a working ranch, offering a variety of two‑hour and three‑hour rides for riders of differing abilities. The business lists multiple specific offerings including a 3 Hour Private Ride ($225), a 2 Hour Private Ride ($150), Morning and Evening 2 Hour Rides ($85), a Morning 3 Hour Ride ($105), an Afternoon Family Special 2 Hour Ride ($85), and a Western Cowboy Cookout with a 2 Hour Ride ($110–$120).
Trails traverse scenic meadows, shady trees, lakes, streams, and mountain views where riders may encounter wildlife such as moose and nesting waterfowl. The Afternoon Family Special includes fishing, boating, canoeing, and picnicking as part of the ranch experience and is offered at a discounted family price. Private ride options provide focused, crowd‑free outings tailored to the group’s pace and preferences.
The Western Cowboy Cookout combines a two‑hour ride with a Dutch oven mountain cookout for an on‑ranch meal after riding. Morning rides are scheduled to allow guests to continue to other regional attractions later in the day, while evening rides showcase scenic light around lakes and streams. All trip descriptions include duration and price information so guests can select rides that match budget and schedule. Reservations are recommended to secure preferred times and ride types, and pricing is listed with each trip for easy planning. Please inquire before arrival.
