WITH SIX GUIDES, groups are kept small so that you may have the length and pace of ride you desire. Beginning riders have the chance to build skills and confidence while more experienced riders can find challenge and stimulation. Over the years, people of all ages have learned to ride at Elkhorn and many adults have continued to journey high into the mountains well into their senior years (children must be age six or older to ride). The Elkhorn herd of about 120 head of horses includes brood mares, colts and saddlehorses that vary in type and temperament to suit any rider - the right horse and saddle remain yours throughout your visit. Horses have been raised and trained here for years and we pride ourselves on having the variety that makes for fun and safety.
