The ranch is stunning!

Folks, if you are in the Yellowstone or Island Park, ID area you have GOT TO COME TAKE A RIDE with us!  We had several days of rain, rain, rain, (and a little snow), a couple of weeks back and it has made everything so green and alive! The spring flowers are out in full force, and the horseback riding couldn't be better. Many guests have taken advantage of the warm June sun to ride horses.  I'm going to share some pics that were shared with us on our Facebook page by Mr. Nigel Marchant.  He took several great candid pic throughout his horse ride, and if you look at the album he posted to our Facebook page you will get all his detailed descriptions of the pics as well.  Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/yellowstone.horseback.riding?ref=aymt_homepage_panel.  By the way, if you want to find coupons for horse rentals then visit our website http://www.yellowstoneworld.com.  

This picture of riding the horses through the water is one of my favorites that Nigel took.   I love the color of the water in the creeks at the ranch.  The rich greenish-blue hue come from a dissolved mineral (sorry, I can't specify which one because I don't know) in the water that comes from the mountains.  I especially like how Jarom, the guide, is checking in on his young rider to make sure everything is going ok.  What a terrific shot; it really tells a story!

Can we say, "friendly"? 

We are open for horseback riding!

What a crazy spring this has been! The weather has been so mild that we actually have been taking out horseback rides for over a week! Normally this does not happen until about May 15th. So if you're in the area looking for something fun to do, check us out! 208-558-7077

Spring is coming!

This has been a winter unlike any I can remember!  You can see in this picture taken Saturday, March 28th at the Eagle Ridge Ranch that the snow is almost gone!  It's been an unbelievably warm spring, and the snow has been next to nothing.  We originally planned to start horseback riding May 15th, but it looks like we may be taking our first guests later this week!  The ranch is so massive that there is plenty of lowland areas that we can ride where the snow will have receded.  Stay tuned.

Sunset at the Eagle Ridge Ranch

Wow! Is this stunning or what? It's easy to get used to seeing this scene and taking the beauty for granted, but it truly is an amazing sight. 

Tanner

Did he make it? Yes he did- Tanner swung up on to this horse (Red) without putting his feet in the stirrups!  But don't worry, we don't make our guests mount their steeds in this particular matter.  In fact, we'll even let you use a mounting block for a boost up. This is Tanner, and I don't think he has ever brought back a dissatisfied guest from a horse ride.  You'll hear Tanner's laugh often, and it's always apparent that he's having a good time. 

 

Mitchell

One thing you'll always find Mitchell with is a smile! Mitchell first started guiding with us when he was 18.  He and Jarom are brothers, and they started working at the same time.  For the life of me, I couldn't tell them apart (I actually could only tell the difference when I looked at their hats)!  Now, they look as different as night and day. Mitchell is a great guide, and always so willing to help.  His smile is only one of his many great characteristics.

 

Porter

Porter is back with us again for 2015!  Take a look through Porter's pictures, and you will soon discover that he is the "ranch" clown.  Porter is great with the guests, especially the youngsters. 

Above you will see Tom giving Porter some tips on how to saddle-bronc ride.  Porter spent the summer guiding in the day and performing in the Wild West Yellowstone Rodeo by night.  We will see how he fares this summer!
