Winter riding at Soldier Hollow Stables is a rare experience—we are one of the few horseback operations that stays open through the winter season, allowing guests to explore Utah’s landscape from the saddle. The crisp mountain air, peaceful trails, and panoramic views create a setting you simply can’t experience most of the year. The horses are seasoned trail partners who are exceptionally well cared for, loved, and thoughtfully matched to each rider. Guests quickly notice their calm personalities and steady confidence, making the ride enjoyable for beginners and experienced riders alike.

Guests arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled ride to check in and meet the friendly guides.
