Photo Taken Along the "Mountain Ride" in Winter
Rising K Ranch offers several diferent horseback riding options for you while you are visiting the Zion and Bryce Canyon National Park area of Southern Utah.
Since we are primarily a horse training ranch instead of a tourist trap, each horseback ride you book with us will consist of only a small groupof riders. The vast majority of the time, the group will be just you, whoever you bring with you, and the guide!
Don't be shy about calling us asking for an even more custom ride if you do not see exactly what you are looking for.

The Half Day Ride:
3 Hours
There will be a brief introduction to horsemanship before taking the horses out on a 2 and a half to 3 hour trail ride through the Southern Utah terrain. The trail takes you through grassy fields, sagebrush-filled valleys, and juniper tree covered hills. There are plenty of natural obstacles out there as well as different skill-level hills and overlook points. The specific trails we decide to ride will be determined by your comfort level as we ride along. We may take to the higher Utah hills with steep trails to slide the horses down, or we may take easier routes for a more relaxing horseback experience.
In winter be sure to wear a good hat, mittens, a pair of thin socks and a pair of heavy wool socks, as well as warm coats and other winter clothing. It is much more comfortable to wear too much warm gear than to not bring enough.
Age Limit: 8 Years Old
Weight Limit: 220 lbs. (If you are over 220 lbs. and also over 6 feet in height, call the ranch to schedule a ride.)

In winter, the Mountain Ride takes a different route that goes up as high as we can depending on how deep the snow is. If riding in winter be sure to wear a warm hat that covers your ears, a pair of mittens (mittens are much better than gloves), a thin pair of socks covered with a heavy pair of wool socks, as well as warm coats and shirts and pants. It is much better to wear too much winter gear than it is to not bring enough.
