← BACK TO RESOURCES

Booking a horseback ride in Teton Valley isn’t just about hopping in the saddle—it’s about stepping into a slower pace, deeper quiet, and more meaningful experience. Whether you’re new to riding or haven’t been on a horse in years, here’s what you can expect when you ride with Leigh Creek Outfitters.

A Warm Welcome, No Matter Your Experience
When you arrive at the trailhead, our experienced guides will greet you and walk you through what to expect. We pair you with a reliable, well-trained horse that matches your comfort level and size, and we take time to make sure you feel confident before hitting the trail.

Safety Comes First
We give every group a brief safety rundown and trail overview. Helmets are optional but available upon request. We take a common-sense approach to riding that prioritizes your safety without making the experience feel stiff or overstructured.

Pace Set by You and the Trail
Whether you choose a 2-hour scenic loop or a full-day ride, the experience is tailored to your group’s pace and goals. You won’t be rushed through it or pushed beyond your comfort level. Just real riding, real horses, and real country.

Breathtaking Scenery and Good Company
Our rides take place in the stunning Caribou-Targhee National Forest and Jedediah Smith Wilderness. You can expect mountain views, creekside trails, and peaceful forest rides you’ll want to relive again and again.
