Guided by our expert wranglers inside the indoor arena, you’ll learn the foundational principles of equine groundwork and leadership.

It’s more than a lesson; it’s a journey into the heart of the horse-human bond.

*Not a riding experience* 

Choose from four levels of difficulty that appeal to all interests and ability levels. Our trail rides last anywhere from one to three hours. You’ll mount a horse handpicked for you based on size, ability, and temperament.

Our Level 1 ride is perfect for the novice or out-of-practice riders looking to gain confidence and knowledge at a gentle, walking pace. This ride is typically one hour in length, covering flat terrain through the meadows and trails surrounding the main ranch area.

Level 2 is suitable for those that have some riding experience and want to ride a little longer but remain at a walking pace for the duration of the ride. This 1.5 to 2-hour walking ride offers a variety of trail terrain, including subtle water crossings and hill climbs.

Our Level 3 ride is great for those that have moderate riding experience and are comfortable picking up the pace to a trot. This two-hour walk/trot ride offers a variety of trail terrain, including water crossing, steep climbing, and shallow ditch crossings.

Designed for confident and experienced riders, this exclusive 2.5-hour adventure takes horseback riding beyond the ordinary. Leave the well-traveled paths behind as you explore some of the most remote and scenic terrain on the Ranch, covering ground few guests ever experience. Ride through rolling valleys, navigate steep mountain trails, splash across flowing creeks, and traverse expansive Wyoming landscapes that seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon.

With opportunities to ride at all three gaits, this experience delivers the excitement, freedom, and connection to the land that seasoned equestrians crave. Pace changes are managed at the discretion of your wrangler to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride while making the most of the terrain and conditions. Along the way, you’ll encounter sweeping vistas, abundant wildlife, and a true sense of adventure that can only be found on 30,000 private acres.

Whether you’re powering across open meadows or winding through rugged backcountry trails, every ride offers a unique journey into the untamed beauty of the American West. Saddle up and discover the farthest reaches of Brush Creek Ranch, where the next breathtaking view is always just around the bend.

The trails here are endless, so why cut your ride short? Explore our 30,000 pristine mountain acres far and wide with a full-day or half-day picnic ride. Trail options include the remote and historic Sanger Ranch, with views of the mountains, creek, rocky outcroppings, and more. Stop mid-ride at a scenic lookout for a delicious lunch in nature. Saddle back up for a variety of optional adventures such as water crossings, shed (antler) hunting, and more.

One of the rodeo’s most popular events, barrel racing is when a horse and rider attempt to compete a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. Many of our wranglers compete at top levels in barrel racing. They’ll teach you everything from how to ride or race to how to cut seconds off your time.

A very popular speed event with competitors of many ages, pole bending consists of a horse and rider maneuvering their way through a challenging slalom course. Our wranglers will teach you the technique and skills required to excel in this activity.

Saddle up this winter and learn a new skill or hone your existing talents!
