‘This ride exceeded every expectation. June and David are warm, welcoming and incredibly inspiring. The entire experience: accommodation, horses, scenery, riding time, staff, meals, cow sorting and moving, massage, and coaching session with June surpassed my wildest daydreams. Special shout out to Deb and Margaret for all the behind the scenes work, and to Sadie and Lady, who kept us constantly entertained. I rode Salty, a perfectly trained cow horse who responded to the slightest touch. I loved the breakfast cookout and the full day ride in the Crazy Mountains. I also enjoyed riding along watching June and her dogs push cows – the experience was as authentic as it gets.’

‘We loved our holiday in Montana and my two friends and I were made to feel very welcome from the start. Our cabins were very nice and well appointed. The food was excellent and everyone was catered for, including those with dietary requirements. At every meal we had so many choices and everything was presented beautifully. It was nice to see different nationalities among our fellow riders – English, American and another Aussie girl. The guides were very knowledgeable, attentive and safety conscious, and made sure everyone was happy with their horse. I was lucky to ride a paint called Tia and I loved her. Not only was she very pretty, but she had a sweet nature, was forward, very responsive and loved cantering. I had her for the whole trip – lucky me! Riding in the hills and exploring the countryside was excellent and we had some opportunities to gallop across the plains. The best day for me was the all-day ride when we took our lunch in saddle bags and all of us, including the horses, were driven to another part of the property. We then set off from this location and explored the spectacular countryside – it was a fabulous day. It was great riding at the ranch and also good to ride with other like-minded people who love horses. I thoroughly recommend this ride.’

‘My experience in Montana was amazing. I loved the countryside and enjoyed our ‘lopes’ up the hills. The horses are fantastic and cater for all levels of riders. I loved Scooter. She is a feisty buckskin mare – perfect for me!
The food was outstanding – great quality and delicious. Our guide Darian was fantastic and a great rider. The staff were really helpful and the riding was spectacular! This trip was great value for money. I’m definitely going back!’

‘I’m from Colorado and I’ve owned horses for decades, so I went in with optimism, but admittedly a bit skeptical, that the trip would surpass personal experiences. I am happy to say I was BLOWN AWAY by the experience. I think about the trip multiple times throughout each day. I’m still getting value for money if you think about it! The grand views and wide open country are breathtaking. The team penning was so much fun, as was the cattle drive. Each day held something different and exciting. June and David are the perfect pair, and they welcome you into their home. I highly recommend this ride. Spectacular!’

‘Our Montana adventure was beyond amazing! From the time we arrived until the time we left, we were treated with top-notch hospitality and smiles from June and all her staff. Our cabin was cute, clean and comfortable. The meals prepared by Amber and Deb were incredible!
We all fell in love with our horses during our stay. I had hoped to get matched up with a big horse with some spirit and ‘get-up-and-go’ and the wranglers did not disappoint! I was blessed to ride Rocky, a BIG handsome boy with the sweet disposition of a draft horse but the speed and power of a Quarter Horse. He was simply amazing at navigating the terrain of the Montana mountains and never seemed to tire. We did a total of seven two to three hour rides over our four day stay. Each ride featured different landscapes, breathtaking views and chances to lope for those of us who wanted to do a bit more of that. At the end of every day we were exhausted from all the fresh air and activity, but couldn’t wait to get up and do it all again the next day! If I could give June and her lovely ranch more than a 5-star rating, I would. My smile says it all!’

‘Our hosts, June and David, were absolutely wonderful. They made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Our wranglers, Jeff and Darian, were both great and paired everyone up with the right horse. My horse, ‘Pocket Rocket’ Remmie, was surefooted, honest and forward moving. He was an awesome cow horse, too, and got stuck into the herd of cows during team penning. The food was excellent and varied every day. The scenery and views were incredible and I loved the long gallops through the meadows. Every day was my favorite, but I especially liked the all-day ride where we rode up into the Crazy Mountains and stopped at the hunting lodge. We had some good long gallops that day and Larry, our guide, was awesome. This ranch is a very special place and I would love to go again!’

‘The Montana ride was FABULOUS! My sister and I had an amazing time. It surpassed our expectations, and we are so thrilled (and blessed) to have had the opportunity to experience this ranch and ride through the gorgeous Montana mountains and countryside. The other guests were so fun and we were lucky to get to know each other and hit it off so well. My horse, Salty, was such a sweet, even-tempered boy. He was responsive and he taught me a thing or two about how to manoeuver and push cattle. The wranglers were patient and took us on breathtaking, fun rides. They accommodated those of us who wanted to go at a faster pace. Our hosts, June and David, were both very pleasant and accommodating. I loved that June went out riding with us a couple of days, and took a ton of pictures to send to all the guests. Our cabin was very private and comfortable – perfect for disconnecting from technology and everyday stress. And the food was amazing! Amber and Deb made fresh, delicious meals and I enjoyed every morsel.’

‘I had a fantastic week riding Baron in Montana. We worked with cattle and rode through large fields, forests and mountains with our lovely group, who all had their own horses at home. We rode over beautiful wildflowers all day long and looked at the amazing views from many different positions. The food was fabulous, with an inventive menu. Baron was calm and experienced in all situations with cattle, surefooted through the mountains and always up for a good long canter. Our two guides, Taylor and Jeff, were great. We were able to ride where and how we wanted within the group and everything was very relaxed.’

‘I was very happy with my ride in Montana, USA. My horse, Banjo, was responsive to aids, neck reining, etc and was under control all the time. Every day was good – the first day trying out our mounts and learning Western riding aids, then the subsequent days of team penning, cattle mustering and trail riding. Both guides were capable and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this ride.’
