This was a really fantastic experience that I think may become a tradition with my family. Jody, Keith, and all the horses (even Spike, who was kind of a pill) were a real pleasure to interact with during our visit. The ride itself was a delight. Sure, I was sore afterward, but that's to be expected. Consider going to any of Montana's hot springs to recover afterward. If you're visiting in the summer, I do suggest scheduling a ride in the morning, as it's never too hot at 9AM.

The rooms were clean and inviting and had multiple living spaces which was great for a large group! The dining area let in beautiful morning light and was spacious (pictured below) making it easy for us all to dine together. Jody was amazing and made the whole experience special; we wanted for nothing. Would highly recommend this place for whatever your purpose is, a great way to experience a beautiful area.

We enjoyed a handcrafted huckleberry cocktail a couple huckleberry lemonade mocktails and glass of wine, a mushroom appetizer, then our friends stayed for dinner. Saw a baby brown bear right outside; thankfully, did not see the mother! Totally recommend a visit here, and would love to stay here sometime!

There was a ridge with an amazing view. We saw a small heard of elk running through the woods. We saw an eagle and an osprey. There were a couple of steep climbs (always fun on a horse). We got up to a trot a couple of times. Our legs were a bit stiff after the ride but not sore the next day. It was perfect! The horses are wonderful, each with their own personalities. They had just the right amount of spirit. And they were very responsive to your lead. Josie was our trail boss (guide) and she was absolutely amazing. She explained everything thoroughly. She made everything fun. She took amazing care of us. She knows that property like the back of her hand. And she's as amazing with horses as she is with people. My friend and his family have ridden here nine times already and I'm so glad they recommended it. It's a lifelong memory.

Hayden was our guide & he was really friendly & knowledgeable about the area & horses. Our group was small too which made the experience more intimate (5 riders + our guide). Eagle Ridge Ranch is affordable, has beautiful trails, well behaved horses & attentive/accommodating staff. We went on a rainy morning & it cleared up in an hour, but the rain didn't bother us. Eagle Ridge is close to Yellowstone, Bozeman & the Tetons so there's plenty to do after an early morning ride. Thank you for the experience!!!
