The horses and wranglers here are unpredictable. The horses threw three of my friends to the ground and two of these riders ended up in the hospital. I suspect that a seasoned rider may not have had the same results but I would be very careful riding these trail worn animals. More

We checked this place out about 2 years ago while vacationing at yellowstone club. We were somewhat experienced riders. Multiple riders in our large group were knocked off their horses. Either by being bucked up off or saddles sliding off because they were never secured properly. Got a phone call a year later from a insurance company asking for my... More

All equestrian sports are inherently dangerous and involve the risk of serious injury or death. Jake’s Horses strives to provide safe back country adventures, on horseback. We do warn that guests ride at their own risk and require that a release form is filled. The release of liability requires that guest acknowledge the inherent risk associated with riding horses. Unfortunately,... More

We had a good experience with our 2 boys (7 and 9) on the dinner ride. Let me say 3 of us had never ridden before, which was not a problem since Jake's guides are seasoned horse people, and they are competent and comfortable assessing skill level/fear and giving direction and encouragement accordingly. The ride begins by crossing the highway,... More

We booked Jake's after trying a few other places. We could only ride in the afternoon after my husband's conference was over and no other outfit could/would accommodate our time frame. Jake emailed me back and let me know he could arrange a wragler to ride with us at 6pm on a Tuesday. Anyhow, we happened to be free earlier... More

Highly recommend Jake's Horses. This was our first time riding horses. Our "wrangler" Julia was outstanding. She was very friendly and took good care of us. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The horses were very tame. It was a pleasant ride and I would definitely do it again. More

Our experience was nothing but great. The guides were careful to match size and character of horses to each rider's experience. (I took my teenage daughter & her friend. There happened to be another 2 teenage girls & parents along on our ride as well ~ couldn't have been more perfect.) We went on the one hour ride ~ a... More

This isn't the prettiest setting on Earth to begin a trail ride. Your horse might be muddy, and his mane might have tangles. But you will soon be off on a fantastic ride through beautiful country, and most importantly, you will be safe. Jake's horses (and I'm talking about the equines here) are pros. They know their jobs, and they... More
