Winter Horseback Riding: What to Expect

  • No horseback riding on check-in and check-out days.
  • Winter rides are walk-only for the safety of both horses and guests.
  • Winter horseback riding trails are more limited due to the winter snow and are maintained by the horses consistently walking them to keep the trails packed and usable.  Because of this, the ranch designates trails for winter riding that are closer to the main ranch compound, and with the winter elements these are typically shorter loops.  If you want to explore more of the ranch’s 8500+ acres in the winter you may wish to consider a snowmobile tour or a visit during our warmer months where all the trails are open.

Extend your holiday stay at C Lazy U! Come a little early and save with our early holiday rates. You’ll still enjoy luxury lodging, gourmet food and most ranch activities. Or, grab a little winter vacation fun before heading to your relatives’ house for Christmas. Either way, you’ll save on a winter holiday that DudeRanch.com ranked as the BEST Dude Ranch to Visit in Winter!
