| Your one-stop horseback vacation |
Ride the trails in the Land of Crazy Horse on unique, fully
guided trail rides through the beautiful Pine Ridge area of
Northwestern Nebraska. Near Fort Robinson and only a few
hours from Denver you can experience history, scenery and
wildlife in a setting not available to the general public.
WHAT TO EXPECT: We can design a ride to your
specifications, or you can come along on one of our
pre-scheduled rides. Bunkhouse style housing with hot
showers, towels and bedding is available for up to eight guests.
Small, secure pastures and corrals are provided for horses.
Hearty breakfasts, lunches on the trail, and delicious Dutch
oven suppers can all be included. You will be treated to
cowboy poetry, storytelling, local history and homespun
musical entertainment in the evenings.
WHAT TO BRING: Riders will furnish their own horses, tack,
horse hay and feed, rain gear, and water bottle or canteen.
Because of safety concerns, no lug-soled boots or shoes,
please, and don't forget your camera. Depending on the
nature and numbers of pets, riders may be asked to leave their
pets at ranch headquarters. All riders will be asked to sign a
liability waiver. We are sorry, but liability issues prevent us
from renting horses.
THE TRAIL: Several ranchers are offering their private
properties for these rides and the trails will wind over rugged
hills, along bluffs and down into canyons and creek bottoms.
This is a remote area, and though dirt roads may be crossed,
very little of the trail will be along roads. Horses should be
willing to cross streams and tolerate slickers in case of rain.
Although experienced riders will enjoy all of our trails, more
timid riders will not be challenged beyond their capabilities.
WAGON RIDES: In nearly every group there are a few who
don't especially enjoy horseback riding or who don't have a
horse. These guests need not be left behind, and though the
wagon may not travel the same trails, the ride will be enjoyable.
