SUGGESTED ITEMS TO BRING:
With your comfort, safety, and enjoyment
during your Western adventure in mind ...
Just three simple rules related to apparel when horseback riding:
- No sneakers
- No spurs
- Stampede string or chin strap for wide-brimmed hats.
We rent chaps and chinks and they are available for sale here as well.
The Hideout at Flitner Ranch is a year-round operation. Seasonal weather in Wyoming can be unpredictable. Best to be prepared. As they say, better to bring it along and not need it, than need it and not have it. Items flagged with an asterisk (*) indicates more information noted below.
It can get quite hot during the summer in Wyoming. And spring and fall temperatures can get rather cool, sometimes even cold. Winter? Cold and snowy, but that's snowmobilers' paradise up here. In general, bring clothing that can be layered. Suggested To Bring lists for horseback-riding season or snowmobling season appear below.
