- Beth B1 contributionExperience the Sawtooths on horseback!My hour and a half trail ride was the highlight of our 3 day stay in Stanley! The entire staff was extremely helpful, knowledgable, professional and personable. They went out of their way to accommodate me, even though I arrived without a reservation. My guides, Kade and Chaz, were the best! They explained everything very well and made me feel very comfortable and confident on my horse. We saw amazing views and wildlife, too. I would recommend this company/experience to anyone and everyone!!!Thank you so much for the great review and recommendation. We are so glad that you enjoyed your ride with Chaz and Kade.

I took 3 all day rides with Aly and had a fantastic experience. The stable is very organized when you arrive and you are off on your ride at the appointed time. Besides the scenery being breathtaking we were served lunch at a different lake each day. Our guide, Aly, was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. My horse was awesome on the terrain. My time here was once in a lifetime. I highly recommend them whether it is a 1 hour tour or longer. The scenery and the stable will not disappoint you.

This was a spectacular experience from beginning to end! The staff makes you feel like you belong there and are excited to make your trip the best it can be. At the beginning, there was a slight drizzle, so they put a western riding poncho on everyone, which they didn't have to do, but they did because they care. I'm not a horseback rider, but I went with my wife and nieces anyway. We had Reegan as our guide, and she was friendly, professional, informative, and lots of fun. She made every minute special. She explained the mountains that we were seeing along the way and a lot about the local wildlife. She absolutely went above and beyond in every aspect of our trip, with a smile on her face the entire time. Johnny was my horse, and he did a great job too. The scenery was breathtaking, impossible to describe. This is one of those things that if you ever get the chance to do, you'll never regret it. Thank you, Reegan, and the entire staff for making it a memory I will always cherish.

Very friendly staff and guide. Had a time frame for 4 hour ride. Stuck to it and very friendly with everyone in party. Great trip for family to see some wilderness. Horses prety much walked themselves so it would be good for a novice rider. Saddles had no padding and after 4 hours I felt it. Will do again if ever up that way. Well worth it

This was an amazing experience! It’s our first time to the area and we decided to venture out and try horseback riding — our hosts at Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch recommended Redfish Corrals at Redfish Lake and they were the perfect choice for us! With the four of us being novices, the Redfish Corral team was super helpful getting us ready to ride and encouraging us throughout. Reegan was a terrific guide and super knowledgeable about horses, Redfish Lake and the surrounding mountain area. Our 90-minute ride took us along roaring creeks, through beautiful forested land, and up to ridges with unbelievable vistas of the lakes and Sawtooth Mountains. We stopped for pictures — including selfies! -- in some beautiful spots and took time to appreciate the beauty all around us. Johnny, Dickey, Lager, and Dandy were quite the “horse hosts” and made sure we will never forget our time with them! Special shout out to Reegan for being so fun to ride with!

We did a five-day horse-packing trip with Mystic as a group of 9 into the Sawtooth Wilderness. We did not ride, but the horses carried all of our gear to a base camp and the two guides there pretty much took care of everything (setting up camp, cooking, water purifying, etc...). We just had to carry day packs and hike the amazing trails, swim in the lakes, and fish. The experience with Mystic was fantastic: the guides were knowledgeable, engaging and fun, the food was plentiful and good, and the location was great. A great way to experience a special place.

We had a wonderful morning ride above Redfish Lake with our guide Reegan, who was very knowledgeable. There will be ample opportunity for photos on the ride, but make sure you have a one-handed system WITH a strap. That way you can take photos and maintain control of the reins and even “drop” the camera if needed.
A wide brimmed hat and water bottle are highly recommended. All the horses will have saddle bags for a spare shirt, jacket or water.

We just got home from a 4 day back country horse riding trip to Toxaway Lake with our 2 daughters (6 and 8) and Fiona and Chaz were our back country guides. Let me tell you, it was EPIC! If you are looking for a wilderness adventure Mystic Saddle will not disappoint. Fiona and Chaz were very knowledgeable about everything to do with the Sawtooth Mountains, they were excellent horseman, and made it a truely memorable trip. At first, I was a bit nervous (as a mom) with our two girls out in the back country but both Fiona and Chaz made me feel so comfortable and really engaged our kids during the entire trip. All our horses were AMAZING. They were sure footed, knew the trails, and the girls fell in love with all of our horses over the 4 days. We all came out of it with a new love for the back country and back country horsemenship. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime trip, this should be at the top of your list!!!

One of our favorite trail rides to date! Cora was our guide and she was super friendly and laid back. The horses were very well behaved and gentle. The scenery was beautiful. We did the 1.5 hour ride along the lake and up overlooking the snow capped Sawtooth mountains. It was worth the drive from Sun Valley for the scenery!

Today I had the extreme pleasure of doing a half day ride with Mystic Saddle Ranch at the Redfish Corral. John was our guide, and I was impressed with how he and the staff prepared all of us for the ride and provided us with a safety discussion and instructions for riding the horses. The horses appeared well cared for, gentle to ride and very responsive to rein control.
John led us to trails that gave us a complete view of Redfish Lake. We continued on the trail to the midpoint stop which had beautiful smaller lakes. During the ride, John continually checked on us individually to make sure saddles were secure, and we were comfortable. I was also impressed with John’s knowledge of horses, and history of the nation, state and local areas. He skillfully blended stories to make this ride very educational for me.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the ride today, and view the splendor and beauty of the Sawtooth Mountains. It was memorable! But what impressed me most was our guide John. I will never forget that man.

We absolutely LOVED our guided trail ride at Mystic Saddle! We had John as our guide, assisted by Bobbie. John provided a superb safety briefing with very clear and easy to understand directions. We then proceeded on our 1.5 hr. ride around Little Redfish Lake, which was beautiful and picturesque. John narrated throughout the ride with very interesting and engaging stories and information. He made time to take photos and video of everyone in the group. This is an excellent company with highly skilled and friendly staff.

Hello! I am just wondering if there is a best time of year for the pack trips? And if they offer refunds if the weather is bad? Thanks!
Written October 31, 2019
Hello! Our pack trip season is early July till the first week of September. Typically the weather will be pretty good through that time but that high in the mountains you can sometimes get storms that come through. We do not offer refunds for weather but we are great at being prepared with the right gear in case of unexpected rain, wind or snow. We can sometimes alter the route or trip to accommodate for weather as well. Our dates fill up quickly so if you are thinking about doing a pack trip, please let us know so that we can help you book the best possible dates! Thank you!
