Horseback riding
Guests who have riding experience will be allowed to be more adventurous and go on fast rides, which includes loping and trotting guided by the well-trained wranglers. Medicine Bow Lodge has a lot of first-time riders. No worries, you will be in great hands. Their wranglers will make sure that you are comfortable in your saddle and each ride you become more confident. Before you know it, you will want to go on the all-day ride and or join Medicine Bow Lodge’s popular overnight pack trip. Children and teens love riding here at Medicine Bow Lodge.
Families are encouraged to ride together, but at the same time, Medicine Bow Lodge does not want to hold guests back that are more advanced with riding abilities. They allow children from six and up to ride horses. Children and teens will have the opportunity to play games on the horses, in Medicine Bow Lodge's way. Don't forget the young children of five and under. The kid’s wrangler will gently lead your young one on a horse around the grounds of the ranch. This is a great time to take advantage with a picture moment.
