Horseback riding during your wedding weekend
During the summer dude ranch season at Rock Springs, our
horseback riding program is the central focus of our
recreation. Riding is also available during the spring,
fall, and winter, and adds a little adventure to your
conference or retreat. 
Riding is by appointment, and we do not have rides departing daily. We require a minimum of 3 riders, with a maximum of 6 guests on a ride. If you have a larger number of people who want to ride, you will be split up into smaller groups. Rides typically either depart at 10:00 am or 2:00 pm. Riding is $35 for the first hour, $30 each additional hour, per person, per ride. Lead line pony rides for small children are $15. Reservations are based on availability of staff, and must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations the day before the ride will not be charged. If you must cancel after 5:00 pm the day before your ride, there will be a $10 cancellation charge, and no-shows will be charged the full price.
Rock Springs Guest Ranch encourages your honesty about your riding ability, height, weight, and age (if under 18 year old,) for the safety of you, your horse, and those around you. Many hourly horseback riding operations train horses only to follow the tail of the horse in front of them, creating mounts that take virtually no instruction from their rider. Because our horses come from ranchers and riders who trained them to respond to cues from their rider, it is important that the horse is able to understand your instructions to him or her. We base ability levels on an estimated amount of riding you have done: 1-25 times: beginner, 26-75 times: intermediate, and 76 or more times: advanced.
Rides may be cancelled due to weather or emergencies on the ranch, under which circumstances there would be no charge.
