Learn About Renegade Rides!
THE HORSES; Our Wyoming bred, endurance trained horses must be able to carry riders safely over long distances at a fast pace, including extended periods of trotting, fast canters and some galloping. We use a variety of horses for our rides, including Morgan’s and Morgan-Quarter crossbreeds. We also have some former “Wild Horses”, some Arabs, some Quarter Horses and Quarter crossbreeds.
BEDDIN’ DOWN; Accommodations at the Renegade Bunkhouse includes the living room, kitchen-dining room, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms which can sleep up to 4 and a single cabin with a double bed. The deck out back provides a view of the surrounding countryside. You may spot deer down by the creek or see geese flying overhead. The view out front is of the corral and the horses. Can’t beat that view! At camp, the crew works hard to provide everything we need. Accommodations at camp are cowboy teepees with comfortable foam pads, providing an authentic rustic, camping experience. Hot showers are available and clean outdoor toilets are on site. While you relax at the end of the day, our experienced cooks prepare delicious, traditional western meals including complete breakfasts and hearty dinners that will cure any appetite. The menu varies from week to week, but may include steak and baked potatoes, baked chicken parmesan with rice pilaf, barbecued ribs with corn on the cob, vegetables,and fresh salads at every meal. Vegetarian meals are available upon request.
Sack lunches are usually eaten on the trail. Horn bags are provided to pack your lunch and water bottles.
THE RIDE; We try to encourage strong interaction with the horse and rider, and take pride in properly matching the horse and rider. As a guest, you will be expected to groom and saddle your horse. We will, of course, familiarize you with our tack and handling of the horses. Although we travel at a faster pace than most rides, we must do so safely. There are times to gallop and times to walk and trot. It is important to be able to monitor and pace your horse.
Riders should be reasonably fit and be able to withstand five to eight hours in the saddle each day. Most of our rides are paced for riders with at least intermediate riding experience. This means you should be able to do a rising or posting trot, galloping in a group of riders, in a forward seat and be comfortable running over uneven terrain. You should be confident enough to ride on a loose rein, western style. Renegade Rides reserves the right to accept or reject riders who do not have the riding skills to ride safely. Your payment is forfeited in that event.
The maximum number of guests on any ride is 6. There are twoor three wranglers per ride. The weakest rider determines the pace of the ride, so please don’t sign up for a fast ride if you are not up to it.
Itinerary or routes may change due to unforeseen circumstances, such as heavy rain, which may make roads impassible for the camp crew.
