We Prioritize Safety & Customer Service

At Mystic Saddle Ranch we always put the safety and happiness of our guests first.

Excellent staff, horses, scenery, trails! Our family aged from 6-68 and we all had a blast. Guide was knowledgeable and careful with the six year old taking his first ride. The scenery went from beautiful to spectacular as we rode the 1.5 hour trail. Very safe and an experience we will all never forget. Highly recommend this place.

We went on the 1 hour horseback ride as we were inexperienced riders. Almost immediately we felt very relaxed in the extremely capable hands of our guide Kade. The horses were very well behaved and Kade gave us great instruction, advice and information on the beautiful ride. We saw Pronghorn, deer and beautiful scenery. Thank you Kade for a wonderful...

This was such a lovely ride. We did the hour and a half ride, and I think that was a perfect amount of time for our group. The horses were obviously well-trained and calm. Our guide, Eva, was a gem. She paused often to make sure everyone was safe and comfortable. She also doled out interesting tidbits about the landscape...

My husband and I took our 8 year old daughter on a day ride to the first 2 (of 5) Bench Lakes. I rode a handsome red horse named Steve, my husband was on a draft horse named Malida, and my daughter rode a stunning Apaloosa named Doc Holiday. Our trail guide was named Al, Ally, or "Alligator" for fun...

We took the 1.5 hour trip and it was outstanding! Our guide was so good with us (10, 14, and late 40s), none of whom had ever ridden a horse before, but was especially good with my 10 year old, which I greatly appreciated. The views are gorgeous and the pace allows you to take them in. The pace also...

Maybe the most beautiful ride we’ve ever had. Between the Sawtooth mountains and Redfish lake, the views were breathtaking. Throw in the mountain flowers, a young deer and our great guide, Campbell we had an epic ride.
