Dashing through the snow / on a one-horse open sleigh / o’er the fields we go / laughing all the way! The famous holiday tune “Jingle Bells” sets up a pretty magical scene, and it’s one that you can experience for yourself right here in Idaho. Western Pleasure Guest Ranch is a year-round destination for outdoor lovers, and in the winter, they offer sleigh rides! Hop aboard a one (or two) horse open sleigh for an enchanting experience you’ll never forget.
A fifth-generation cattle ranch with stunning views of the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains, Western Pleasure Guest Ranch is a heavenly destination. They welcome visitors all year round for lodging and adventures, but winter is a truly special time of year to visit the ranch.

The ride takes visitors across a two-mile loop trail in the foothills of the Cabinet Mountains. All the while, riders can also enjoy views of North Idaho's breathtaking Selkirks. Surrounded by snow-covered pines, every minute of the ride seems to be more beautiful than the last.
