Soon after arrival, our guests look forward to heading up to the Corral and getting matched with horse and saddle.  This is the heart of the Ranch; for a hundred years horseback riders have set the tone of the HF Bar experience.  A herd of over a two hundred horses and a staff of competent cowboys and cowgirls ensure a suitable mount for everyone from the beginner to the expert. Also, and if you so desire, you’ll ride the same horse during your entire stay.

We work with novice riders to build your confidence and improve your skills.  Veterans of the saddle are hard-pressed to push the boundaries of all one can explore by horseback at the HF Bar Ranch.  There are exciting rides along scenic trails across prairie hills, over creek crossings leading up canyons into high meadows and mountain timber.  The rock formations and vistas are breath-taking, and the expanse of the Ranch feels limitless. The fact that the majority of our riding is on private land makes our location extremely unique.  Plus, the bordering Bighorn National Forest further adds to the wealth of our natural environment, and opens up a gateway to the Cloud Peak Wilderness.

Each month of the season directly connects the rider with a phenomenal natural wonder.  In early summer wildflowers carpet the Ranch creating a sea of color that inspires awe.  In the mornings and evenings of mid-summer, the sun casts an amazing light from low on the horizon, and deer and antelope come out of hiding to fill the tall grass meadows.  As fall approaches, the elk bugle, and the gold leaves of cottonwood and aspen trees light up the mountain sides and creek bottoms.

Lovers of horses and the American West find what they are searching for the HF Bar Ranch.  In fact, once you experience it, you’ll know why so many return year after year.
