Sweet Grass Ranch

Unparalleled Riding Opportunities

Sweet Grass offers unparalleled riding opportunities on thousands of acres of both mountain country and rolling meadows and plains. Our cattle graze at the guest ranch during the summer, so we’re able to offer our guests the option of moving cattle and traditional ranch work, but we also know this is your vacation. We tailor 4-5 different daily rides to our guests’ interests and abilities. We offer half-day rides, long all-day rides, horsemanship clinics, cattle drives and livestock work, and family, kids only or adults only rides.

Individual Attention

With about 20 guests a week, we are able to offer individual attention and a relaxed family atmosphere. Our well-loved horses are primarily quarter horse or quarter horse cross, each with unique personalities, and all raised here or acquired from neighbors in the ranching community. With a herd of 65 horses, we can always find a great match for any rider whether you’ve never been horseback or were born in the saddle. Horses and kids know the value of play, and we offer swimming rides, bareback rides, “get-lost” rides, gymkhanas, and games on horseback.

Abundant Activities

Aside from a wonderful riding program, we also offer fishing both in the miles of Sweet Grass Creek that flow through our property, high alpine lakes, and a series of beaver ponds (with a boat for the kids). Great hiking trails abound, and a picnic lunch is always available.

Fun for the Whole Family

Sweet Grass Ranch provides fun the for the entire family, with a natural water slide, inner tubing the creek, campfires, photography workshops, massages, weekly horsemanship clinics, a hot tub, and lots of indoor and outdoor games available. We also offer day trips through Yellowstone National Park, local rodeos, and trips to Native American sites and local cultural highlights.

Never Lacking

While we have no organized evening social activity, guests never lack for plenty to do. Guests can play cards or pool in the main lodge, visit on the porch, take an evening stroll, read a book by the fireplace, or join in a sing-along. There are always activities for the energetic and we have equipment for soccer, volleyball, football, softball, horseshoes, “pasture golf,” and paintball.
