The equestrian experience at Sunriver Resort is unparalleled and authentic to the mountain west, where the horses are good-natured and the sights are unbeatable. At Sunriver Stables, majestic horses graze freely in expansive pastures, framed by flowing rivers, lush forests and towering mountain peaks. This is where authentic equestrian experiences come to life, offering a taste of the untamed spirit that defines the American West. Welcome to Sunriver Stables, where every trail ride is a journey through living history and natural wonder.
"Our trail rides are really nature excursions," says Kristina Howell of Sunriver Trail Rides. "You're likely to spot deer, elk, coyotes, owls and other birds of prey. It's like a zoo coming to life in the wild—something you wouldn't experience on your everyday trail ride."
