It's tradition for my husband and I to horseback ride wherever we travel to. So when my husband…read morefound Horsetrack Outfitters it was a no brainer. We opted for the full day (6 hour) private ride. Experiencing Yellowstone National Park on horseback was EPIC! If you're the adventurous type and are not afraid of heights, I suggest you advise them. The sights you see when you leave your fears behind are absolutely breathtaking. The beauty of the park was awe-inspiring, the fresh air was much needed and getting relatively close to wild life in their environment was spectacular. Our guide's name was Mike and he was awesome! We learned so much. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back and visit again. Side Note: I do suggest you find a bathroom before meeting your guide. You're riding straight into the park where only nature exits. If you think you'll need to answer natures call, take paper and a ziplock bag. Take at least one layer of clothing (even on a hot day) and use sunscreen. Stay hydrated and ENJOY!

My wife and I just wrapped up our second stay with them for an adults only 5 night stay. The ranch is truly like nothing else we've experienced. At the beginning of your stay the head wrangler catches up with you and pairs you with 1 of their 130 horses that are wonderfully trained and cared for on site. The food is one of the major highlights for me and you will enjoy plated 3-4 course dinners each night, with several entrees to choose from at each meal. The cabins and amenities are great, but what really makes your stay special is the people, both the staff and guests, that you spend the week with. I can honestly say it is the best customer service experience I have had to-date, and that doesn't do it justice, because you leave there feeling like family. Things to consider: 1. The Guest Ranch appears pricey to some and we definitely agree that it's a considerable amount of money to spend on a 5 night vacation. That said, we left both years satisfied and without any regrets. 2. We have only visited in late September and early October near the end of their season. Both stays had at least 1 day of rainy weather. You can ride horse and do most activities even with rain, or just read and drink coffee next the a roaring fire, but weather and timing of the visit may be something to consider. 3. Alcohol is not included but the bar is very generous and has a great wine list. That said, we've brought special bottles of wine to the ranch to enjoy with dinner, without issues.

We enjoyed a handcrafted huckleberry cocktail a couple huckleberry lemonade mocktails and glass of wine, a mushroom appetizer, then our friends stayed for dinner.

I'm leaving this review because I feel people should know about my experience at Diamond P Ranch…read more I told the young woman assisting us that I knew how to ride, although it had been awhile since I had been on a horse. Instead of simply offering guidance when needed, she repeatedly explained things to me that I already knew. At one point, while I was holding the reins, she abruptly yanked them back and said in a very rude tone, "That's not holding them tight!!!" I understand that safety is important when horseback riding, and I have no problem being corrected or given instructions when necessary. What bothered me was the disrespectful way I was spoken to and handled. I came to enjoy a horseback riding experience and expected to be treated courteously. The experience itself could have been enjoyable, but the way I was treated by this employee really took away from it. I hope Diamond P Ranch addresses how customers are spoken to, especially when they are simply trying to enjoy their experience. I will say that John was our guide and he was exceptional !

Billie and Heather were very helpful and informative throughout the reservation making process. They have great communication and put our minds at ease. They wait to tell you which trail you'll be taking until about a week before your ride. I booked a half day private ride for my daughters and I. We met up at the trailhead with no problems and got to see and experience a part of Yellowstone most people don't get to see if they don't venture out. Jimmy was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He and I were chatting most of the time but he also was really engaged with my daughters as well. I rode Hoofy, my oldest rode Star, and my youngest rode Trigger. The horses were great! We enjoyed the trail, crossing through water a couple times, resting out by Grizzly Lake, and then heading back to where we started. We got to trot quite a bit too! I would be more than willing to work with Yellowstone Roughriders again. The experience was beyond compare! Thank you so much, Billie, Heather, Jimmy, and team!
