If you have children between the ages of 6 and 12, the 1-Hour Saddle & 2-Hour Paddle is perfect for you! You will ride horses for 1-hour followed by a 2-hour Whitewater or Scenic Float Trip.

We have learned from our many years of Yellowstone horseback riding and rafting that children age 6 do best on our 1-Hour Saddle and Paddle! The ranch also offers a lead horse for those kids younger than 6. One of our wranglers will lead your kiddo around the corral for 10-15 minutes so even the youngest kids can experience horseback riding! There are a myriad of scenic trails on the ranch to walk for those in your group not wish to ride! Everyone in your group can enjoy the outdoors. This is the perfect way to experience all the beauty and adventure Gardiner, Montana has to offer!
