Venture into the Idaho wilderness with gentle cowboy-trained quarter horses. This trip is a beautiful one hour trail ride adventure via horseback. Guided by a professional wrangler, you’ll explore trails surrounded by ponderosa pines, and head into Coeur d’Alene’s backyard.

No refunds for late arrivals or no shows. The trip will take about an hour. Horses are not strung together. Riders ride independently behind one another through the property on a well maintained trail loop for this tour. Horseback riding Coeur d’Alene is a unique experience. Riders get to experience the flora and fauna on the edge of Coeur d’Alene National Forest.
Your guide will do an orientation for you with your horse. The trail features flat areas, gentle rolling slopes, great views, and a meander through North Idaho forest cover just outside of town. The trail loops away and then back to the stables. 60-70 minutes is just about the right length of time to be on a horse when you are not used to it! Customers sometimes see elk, deer, moose, a variety of birds, and forest wildlife. Enjoy!
