Your Idaho horseback riding adventure awaits!

Horseback riding is for everyone. You don’t need to have grown up on or even around horses to take a recreational ride in Idaho's serene and insanely beautiful backyard.

Before you saddle up...

wear comfy clothing, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and bug spray! Blending comfort, practicality, and safety is a must when you're on a ride. Some tours require riders to bring their own helmet, so it's always good idea to call ahead and ask about their gear policy.

If you're worried, rest assured that a good guide will provide clear instructions on the basics like how to handle the reins, mounting, dismounting, and other important etiquette. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you're unsure about anything. Your guide's job is to make sure you have a safe, fun, and memorable ride!

It's time to tap into your inner cowboy or cowgirl!

If you're worried your inner John Wayne or Calamity Jane won't emerge on your first ride, relax. Like dogs, horses are incredibly intuitive animals. They can sense your energy and responding accordingly. The calmer you are, the calmer your horse will be.

And remember, your guide and the horse have done this plenty of times! You're in good hands.

What we love the most about horseback riding in the Gem State is the chance to soak in the state’s unbelievable natural beauty. Twisting, winding trails through lush forests, open meadows with millions of wildflowers, majestic mountains, pristine crystal blue lakes—Idaho is a slice of Heaven.

So, let this be your friendly reminder to take your time and bask in the splendor of our stunning state.
