Saddling Up at Siwash Lake — What Makes Our Horse Program Special

Experience an extraordinary horseback journey at Siwash Lake, where riders connect with nature and horses on a soulful level. Our signature ranch riding program offers luxury, freedom, and unforgettable wilderness adventures.


Your Beautiful Horse Awaits

Our journey into the heart of the Siwash horse program starts on a golden morning. Horses graze contentedly as mist rises off the lake, and there's a palpable sense of peace.

It's in this magic moment that you realize — riding here is so much more than just an activity; it's a calling.

Personalized Horsemanship at Its Finest


At Siwash Lake, we don’t simply match each guest with a horse; we curate a true partnership. Every rider, whether seasoned or new, receives personal instruction tailored to their comfort level and goals.

Before every ride, our expert wranglers conduct one-on-one assessments. They learn your story, your confidence with horses, and your dreams for the trail. This attentive approach ensures not only safety but also pure joy in the saddle.

Ride Freely Across a Wild, Private Landscape


Imagine riding across 10,000 acres of untamed wilderness without another soul in sight. Our guests experience a level of freedom that's almost unheard of — no nose-to-tail trail riding here!

We offer the unique opportunity to explore rolling grasslands, snag forests carpeted with wildflowers, and rugged river canyons at your own pace. Our vibrant ecosystem invites true connection with the land, whether you're on a meandering, thoughtful ride or an exhilarating canter.

A Heartfelt Bond


Our horses are part of the ranch family. Carefully selected for their gentle spirits and keen intelligence, they thrive in an environment of kindness and mutual respect.

Guests often describe forming deep bonds with "their" horses — a soulful connection that stays with them long after their stay. It's common to see riders lingering at the corral, sharing whispered words and grateful hugs.

Beyond Riding: Learn, Grow, and Connect


The SiwashSynergy signature horse program extends far beyond trail riding. Guests can learn natural horsemanship techniques, assist with grooming, and practice saddling up their own mount.

This hands-on horsemanship experience is less about mastering technique and more about cultivating a respectful, intuitive bond with our horses.

From learning to read subtle equine cues during grooming sessions to sharing quiet moments in the pasture, guests walk away with a renewed sense of harmony — with animals, with nature, and within themselves.

A Program Rooted in Sustainability and Care


Sustainability runs through every element of our horse program. Wild horses are nomadic, and our ranch horses enjoy this natural lifestyle as well — grazing on native grasses and roaming freely across vast pastures together as a herd.

We uphold the highest standards of ethical horsemanship, ensuring that every horse is treated with love, dignity, and understanding. It's ranching the way nature intended — respectful, regenerative, and real.
