Flathead Lake Lodge Horses
At a Dude Ranch, horses, cowboys [and cowgirls!], and hospitality are a way of life. As a guest at Averill's Ranch in Bigfork, Montana, you are encouraged to learn all aspects of the guest ranch. Whether you are an adult, or child, novice or experience we have the right riding program for you. Horseback riding instruction, horse competitions, team roping, team penning and even a family style rodeo are just some of the fun events offered in the rodeo arena. Riders will enjoy morning, evening, lunch, breakfast and half day rides through mountain country and rolling timberland with spectacular lake vistas.
Do you really want to be a cowboy or cowgirl? Our Junior Wrangler program allows the children to spend time side by side with their favorite wrangler. Children will learn about saddling, horse care, grooming, barn duties and how to care for a large herd of horses.
