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. If you want to trot or lope, we recommend visiting May–October, when trail riding is more active.
  • Most trails are closed in winter, but we maintain two trail areas for rides ranging 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. If you want to explore more of the ranch’s 8500+ acres in the winter you may wish to consider a snowmobile tour.

C Lazy U Ranch provides everything you need to make this Christmas vacation memorable: 

  • Cozy-chic cabins featuring your family’s very own tabletop Christmas tree
  • Caroling, tree trimming, a visit from Santa, and other holiday activities
  • Horseback riding on snowy trails
  • Winter adventures on the ranch and skiing at pristine resorts nearby
  • A picturesque horse-drawn sleigh
  • Award-winning, modern gourmet meals featuring farm to table ingredients

For the Children

During the days before Christmas, children at the ranch participate in the daily fun-filled Children and Teens Program. Learn more about our program.

From the Horse's Mouth

I participated in the Julie Goodnight Clinic and loved every single minute. As a fairly new rider, I was worried that I would get overwhelmed or feel left behind, but instead I learned so much from instructors and participants. This experience was well beyond my expectations. I seriously have no complaints about course structure or content. I've already been using some of the skills I learned and my horses and I are more connected and I can tell my riding has improved 10x. Just can't say enough good things about Julie and her team. If the sessions were spread out to 5 days, I would be onboard because it was pretty intense (although I think it was exactly what I needed as a newer rider).
