Horseback Riding
SADDLEBACK RANCH summer Horseback Tours
Saddleback Ranch is a real 4th Generation working cattle ranch located only 13 miles from scenic Steamboat Springs. A horseback ride is the perfect way to enjoy the scenery, take some pictures, and learn about the cows and calves, and there is excellent chance of seeing wildlife. Horses are available for all riding abilities. Children under 18 years old must be booked with an adult. Saddleback Ranch is closed on the 4th of July.
One Hour Horseback Ride (Ages 6 years and up)
Saddleback Ranch 1-Hour Photo Opportunity horseback rides are offered at 2:00pm, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, June 15 through August 31, 2019.
Two Hour Horseback Ride (Ages 6 & Up)
The 2 hour photo opportunity horseback ride is offered at 9:00am or 1:30pm, Tuesday through Saturday, June 14 through August 31, 2019.
Horseback Dinner Ride (Ages 6 & Up)
Enjoy a 30 minute Horseback Ride followed with dinner at Saddleback Ranch. Dinner Rides are offered on Tuesdays and Fridays, June 14 through August 31, 2019. Meet at the Ranch at 5:15pm.
Saddleback Ranch Cattle Drive (ages 10 & up)
Spend the morning at Saddleback Ranch moving cattle, check the health of the animals, get in strays and make sure that everything on the ranch is doing well. Saddleback Ranch cattle drive rides are unique in the way that they are not “nose to tail” trail rides, nothing here is "staged" and day to day tasks do vary.
Cattle drives are a time where you can get back to life's essentials, the horse riding pace on cattle drives is usually slow, that’s what makes a cattle drive a wonderful experience, time to gain respect for these animals and learn a little about yourself in the process, maybe make a four legged friend or two.
The Cattle Drives are offered at 8:00am Tuesday through Saturday, June 14 through August 31. 2019.
*These are 2019 summer rates. A 15% Gratuity for Saddleback Ranch will be added to your reservation.

A clearing with big views of the Zirkel Mountains and a mixture of forest and grasses make this a well-rounded ride. It's best for confident beginners, intermediate and advanced riders.
