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.

We arrived late at night and received the warmest welcome of any vacation experience we have ever had. We were a little lost, it was dark but someone walked up to our car in the freezing cold (I think it was Taylor, the night manager) and said "Hello, we have been waiting for your arrival. Welcome Borsari family. You must be hungry, we have your plates waiting for you upstairs. Come on up to the lodge when you are ready and we will have your dinner waiting. Don't worry about checking in, we can take care of all that tomorrow. Come and get warmed up." My husband and I actually wanted to cry. LOL! we were all starving and he read our minds. The welcome was the warmest we have ever received, anywhere.
