Ride It

Explore Beautiful Montana on Horseback

There’s really nothing like seeing the lands of the old west the way they were first seen and explored – from horseback. At Upper Canyon Outfitters, we offer a full range of options for riders of all skill levels to saddle up and discover the rugged beauty of Montana’s Big Sky Country.

From two-hour rides to full-day excursions, you can explore the lands of the Ruby Valley at a pace that’s comfortable and unforgettable. By keeping our rides small and personal, we make sure that you are taken care of.

Experience Natural Horsemanship in the Mountains of Montana

UCO offers much more than just trail rides, we offer an opportunity to really get to know your horse and create a bond with them. This connection adds so much more to your horseback adventures. Before the first ride all guests are walked through a safety briefing on how to get the most out of your ride, all while keeping yourself and your horse safe as possible. We can choose trails that match up to your skill or interests. We have rides that involve creek crossings, big views, and elevation gains, but we can also find rides that stay in the shade or stay at lower elevations. There are so many trails, that we have clients that have been coming for years and we still find them new places to experience!

One of the reasons we keep our rides small is so we can match the ride to your needs and desires to provide a wonderful, individualized experience. We also offer opportunities to get to know your horse on the ground. Our professional wrangler team is happy to teach our guests about horses and natural horsemanship in our Equine Facilitated Learning class, we also offer grooming experiences and can teach you how to saddle up and prep your horse for a ride. Time spent with your horse allows for a connection between rider and horse to deepen. So if you are looking for an opportunity to experience an authentic connection to a horse in some beautiful country, this is your chance

Equine Facilitated Wellness

Facilitated by Cassie Ubaldo, M.A.Ed., LCPC.

Offered weekly, our Equine-Facilitated Wellness class is a four-hour, immersive experience designed to deepen connection—both with horses and with yourself.

This class is inspired by Got Your 6 Horsemanship, a longer-form equine-facilitated wellness course developed through our sister nonprofit, Upper Canyon Outreach, which serves active-duty military members, veterans, and their families. That course uses structured interaction with horses to explore leadership, communication, emotional awareness, and trust.

The Equine-Facilitated Wellness experience at Upper Canyon Outfitters draws from those same foundational principles, thoughtfully adapted for our traditional ranch guests. It offers an accessible introduction to equine-facilitated learning in a relaxed, welcoming environment—no riding experience required.

Much of the class takes place on the ground. Horses respond not to words, but to presence, clarity, and intention, often reflecting patterns we may not notice in everyday life. Through guided activities, observation, and conversation, participants are invited to slow down, engage, and reflect.
This is not a performance-based class. There is no right way to do it. Many guests find the experience grounding, insightful, and unexpectedly meaningful.

Designed for Those Seeking a Deeper Experience

Are curious about horses and open to learning through experience
Enjoy reflective, hands-on activities rather than fast-paced instruction
Want a deeper, more intentional ranch experience
Are open to personal insight, even if you’re not sure what you’ll discover
