Yellowstone Wilderness Outfitters

Reviewed By Scubasmom - Denton, United States

A friend and I, who have ridden horses together for over 10 years, decided to take this trip through one of America's most beautiful parks on horseback last July. We felt prepared for long hours in the saddle and the inconveniences of camping with no facilities. The outfitters sent out detailed instructions on gear to bring, how to pack it, what to expect in camp and on the trail, and what they expected of us. They were very well organized and the horses were sturdy, matched to each rider, and acclimated to the demands of the trail. Mammoth mules were led the group with our tents and the kitchen gear. We could not have asked for a more compatible group of riders, and the wranglers produced some surprisingly good meals. I wish they had brought fly spray for the horses. The biting flies and insects were active later in the season than expected, due to warm weather, and my poor appaloosa was miserable. I used my insect spray on him to try to give him some respite from the bugs. Other than that, the trip was excellent and the scenery was gorgeous. We crossed several streams and passed through meadows of wildflowers. If you want to do this trip, make sure you get a lot of saddle time at home before you go.

My 11 year old has never ridden a horse. He has always wanted to. I grew up riding horses with my grandfather and I wanted to have that experience with him. We arrived at the Diamond P Ranch was immediately greeted by our guides, Nan and Aaron. The ranch itself was so beautiful and rich with history. We received instructions about horseback riding and about the area, we also go a card with a brief history of our horse that we would be riding. I thought that was pretty awesome! Our guides were so amazing, it's like we became best friends. They were so good with my boy on helping him get comfortable. We went on a 3-hour ride which honestly felt like 1! We had so much fun and riding in some of the most amazing scenery the Rocky Mountains has to offer. The horses are so well trained and very calm and responsive. Our guides were very knowledgable. Thank you Diamond P Ranch, Nan and Aaron for providing a memorable experience. We hope to come back!
