If you are ever in Montana and want to do a horse back riding tour Hood's the best!!! We called…read moreevery company around and they were not only the best at communicating, they accommodated us, have the best staff and recommended us to change our day of riding due to bad air quality and rain, they are the best. Kayley is the best and we will definitely be back to go ride with them. Thank you to the Hood fam

The best horse care and excellent property for horses. Well kept grounds. Owners on site…read more Lori and husband Guy are on top of anything and everything horse related. I drive 1hr 30 minutes to get there but WELL worth it

I take Western lessons with Amandine. She is a wonderfully patient teacher, and is always so…read moreflexible and reliable. I've had lessons with her both on the horse I lease, and on Amandine's horse. Both great. She gave me really useful tips on the day, and sent me off with things to practice. We've been working on rollbacks and collection. Amandine also exercises many other people's horses at the ranch that I board at, both on the trail and in the arena. She exercises the horses of the ranch managers and another woman at the ranch, who competes with her horse. Everyone trusts her implicitly. Not many people are given this much trust with peoples beloved horses. She has also been really generous with me by answering my endless questions about buying a horse. She gives great advise, and has offered to help me when I go to look at horses. Amandine is really well connected in the equine world. On top of all this, she really is a sweetheart.

Amandine was absolutely fabulous!!! You'll never find anyone as brilliant and at one with her…read morebeautiful horses, and she just made the trip excellent. Not to mention, it was on the most gorgeous mountain trail I've ever seen and literally couldn't keep from marveling at! I grew up on a ranch in Texas and we had horses but this just blew me away! It was at first a slight challenge to find, as it's way up in the forest on a mountain trail but WOW, was it worth the quest! And Amandine is very intelligent and tech savvy so she just pinged us right up to her on the trailhead via my iPhone. (Our Uber driver actually didn't have much trouble finding her.) If you want the ultimate Montana horseback riding adventure, you HAVE to do this one with Amandine! We went out on a sunny September day at 6:15 and rode until 7:45 which was just perfect. I rode Norman -- the sweetest, most mellow and responsive horse you could every hope to ride. But all the horses were just fabulous. I'm already back in SoCal (yuck, in comparison!) and can't wait until my next vacay when I'm heading right back out to AR Riding and Training in Frenchtown, MT for another breathtaking ride! Thanks again you AR and Amandine!!! Y'all are wonderful.
