Western Pleasure Guest Ranch

10/14/2026

When we're not here at the ranch welcoming all of you, you might wonder what some of us get up to. Well — this year, Danielle, Janice, Libby and Emily have been busy in the saddle! Between us, we've made it to nine horse shows, two week long horse camps, and four clinics, competing in ranch events and soaking up everything we can.

Everyone here at the ranch shares the same commitment to becoming better horsemen and horsewomen. Every show, every camp, every clinic teaches us something new — and we bring all of it home, so the whole team keeps growing alongside the horses we love and the guests we get to share them with.

We've got an exciting adventure on the horizon that we can't wait to tell you about... but you'll have to stay tuned. More soon!

Fall is golden hour at the ranch!

Crisp mornings in the saddle, leaves turning gold across the meadows, and a wood stove crackling back at the cabin. Autumn at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch is made for slowing down.

This season, settle in with:
🏡 Private log cabin rentals, room for up to six and cozy enough for two
☕ Bed & breakfast stays in our lodge rooms
🐴 Two-hour guided trail rides through the Cabinet Mountain foothills

Downtown Sandpoint is just 16 miles away, and the fall calendar is full:
🍎 Oct 11 · Apple Fest downtown
🌾 Oct 17 · Harvest Fest, the Farmers Market season finale at Farmin Park
🎬 Oct 17–24 · The first-ever Sandpoint Idaho Film Fest
🎣 Nov 21–29 · K&K Thanksgiving Fishing Derby on Lake Pend Oreille
🎄 Thanksgiving weekend · Tree Lighting & Santa's arrival at Jeff Jones Town Square
⛷️ Late Nov · Schweitzer opening day (weather permitting!)

Spend the morning exploring the ranch on horseback, heading to Sandpoint for the afternoon for downtown shopping, walks along the beach in the fall foliage, and finish the evening off at the ranch around the campfire.

Trail rides need 24 hours' notice, and Sundays are the horses' day off.
