Welcome
to Rider Ranch, we're glad you stopped here for
a visit. We offer horseback riding and horsedrawn
hayrides on our ranch which is located just 20 minutes
east of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Although we are fairly
close to town, we are secluded enough that an activity
with us can feel like stepping into another world.
We have a real working ranch and we enjoy sharing
it with our guests while striving to provide them
a safe, pleasant visit rich in Western hospitality.
Friendly guides accompany all rides to help point
out little things easily missed such as wild flowers
and wild animals, share our knowledge of the area
and to help ensure a safe trip. We hope you can
come join us some time soon.

About
Us
In
this day and age the term "ranch" seems
to be used loosely, mainly by those who wished
they had one. Rest assured, we truly are a family
owned and operated (our children are the third generation
working here) "ranch" on 1000+ privately
owned acres plus special permitted Forest Service
land. We raise cattle and horses, manage our own
timberlands, even have our own sawmill. Since 1986,
we have shared our ranch with guests, as our gentle
horses take them on leisurely paced mountainous
trail rides and horsedrawn hayrides through our
meadow.
About Our Horses
We
take pride in our good ranch horses. They are gentle
enough to take excellent care of a first time rider,
but well trained so that an experienced horseman
can also enjoy them.
