At Sweet Grass Ranch, riding is central to many of our ranch activities, and the comprehensive riding programs—with a variety of different riding opportunities each day along with many other horse-related activities—is one of the main draws for our guests. Whether scenic riding, taking lessons, moving cattle, doing an overnight packtrip or playing games on horseback, we offer outstanding riding opportunities to all ages and experience levels.
Horseback riding opportunities are more diverse and abundant at the Sweet Grass Ranch than many other places. Our guests enjoy the freedom to roam and ride through the open countryside. With thousands of acres of our own land to ride on, checker-boarded national forest lands, and great neighbors providing even more terrain, we offer four to five different ride choices every day. For our guests, it’s not unusual to spend eight hours in the saddle if they choose a long ride option, and shorter rides are always available. We also offer dinner rides and a sunrise ride is an invigorating way to start the day. Whenever possible, we also customize trips to suit any guests’ daily interests and desires.
Sweet Grass Ranch has a day use permit for the Sunlight Basin on the Gallatin National Forest. Otherwise, if we cross national forest lands we are riding to our own inholdings and checkerboarded lands.
