HOURLY TRAIL RIDES
MEDICINE LAKE OUTFITTERS offers guided horseback riding on two hundred acres along the Gallatin River just minutes from Bozeman.
Our bridle trails pass through a Cottonwood Forest that is wildlife rich. Bald Eagles, Red Tail Hawks, Sandhill Cranes, Wild Turkeys and a variety of water fowl are numerous here. Whitetail deer, coyote, fox and beaver are often seen.
The ride is paced at a leisurely walk. Generally our party size is from four to six riders. If you have at least five in your group we will be happy to book the ride for your party exclusively.
We have an age limit of 12 and a weight limit of 220 lbs. We are strictly non-smoking on the entire premises. Please read the ‘Booking Conditions’ page for more information before calling. We will need a brief rider profile before we can tell you if we are able to take your party out. This is best provided by email using our ‘Contact’ page.
We offer instruction in horseback riding for those who need it. We do our best to match horse to rider according to the rider’s age, size and skill level.
RATES: Two Hours – $150 per guest.
*This ride will include some time on State of Montana land adjacent to the ranch. The state charges a small additional permit fee to ride there. See ‘Conservation License’ on the side bar.*
SPRING UPDATES
Conservation License
In addition to our bridle trails on the ranch, we utilize some trails on adjacent leased state land for our hourly rides. Montana requires a ‘Conservation License’ for recreational access on all state lands. This permit fee runs between $4 to $10 and can be purchased online. If you don’t already have a Conservation License for fishing or state parks, you will need to get one before you come out for the ride. It only takes a couple minutes.
