Horse Rentals For Horseback Riding Vacation Adventures In The Mountains  -  Photos

It  is  our  pleasure  to  provide  you  with  good  trail  horses  for your Oregon adventures. Our horses are versatile and skilled in many areas for wilderness and back country travel. Mountain Pass Ranch horses may be used for daytrips or weekly camping. We will deliver horses to any location that is compatible with a loaded six horse trailer (Weather Permitting). Pick up and delivery service is included in our rates Private transportation is welcome with approved equipment. Horses are available on a first come first serve basis by calling our reservation line. Wranglers are available upon request for those who do not handle horses often.

 

Horses are fed and watered prior to delivery. Once the horses are in your control, you will be responsible for their maintenance and over all care. If you are packing in to a remote location of Oregon, you will need to locate feed and water sources before you go. The water source issue will apply to day riders as well as weekly rentals. Furthermore, If you are packing into Oregon’s back country, you  will more then likely be  packing  feed for the  horses  as  well. This will require a weed free feed or you may contact the forest service to determine whether or not there is sufficient forage on the forest floor to maintain the livestock throughout your journey.You may find equestrian trails by visiting The Oregon Trail Network link above or you may choose to purchase a trail map from a local forest service district or hardware store near you. Feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have.
