Speaking of history, all Western riding disciplines and rodeo events trace back to ranching or ranch work on horseback. Western pleasure riders, cutting and reining enthusiasts, rodeo fans, admirers of cowboy dressage, Western working and stock horse competitors, and team penning and sorting specialists will find The Hideout at Flitner Ranch to be a horsemen’s heaven.

Our experienced, year-round wranglers take great care in matching horse and rider. Beginner, novice, or advanced rider; English rider, trail rider, even horse professional, we promise you an enjoyable and safe riding experience as well as a wealth of experience on which to draw from our capable, diverse crew.

The Hideout is more than just a guest ranch.  In addition to producing top quality Angus, we produce premium quality horses.  The Hideout horses are not your typical dude horses. The horses you ride are the horses we ride. Not only are they well-broke, they are experienced working ranch horses. They know how to work cows and are one of the main reasons our guests return year after year.  You’re welcome to ask about our Flitner Quarter Horse Breeding program and our annual Production Sale. 

Magnificent scenery, abundant cattle work, Western hospitality, authentic living history, preservation of our traditions.  How do we maintain? Click here to learn about The Cowboy Code.
