| Guests at Cowboy Hideaway Ranch ride exclusively gaited Rocky Mountain Horses born and trained at Mountain Magic Ranch, the world's largest breeder of this rare horse. |
| Mountain Magic Ranch lies in the vast, fertile Madison River Valley west of Bozeman, Montana. |
| Rocky Mountain Horses have an easy, ambling four beat gait. This is a naturally occurring gait present from birth which requires a minimum of effort by both horse and rider. |
The Rocky Mountain Horse's conformation and color are striking. All have a solid body color and facial markings are acceptable if they are not excessive. There may not be any white above the knee or hock. |
Known for their keen minds, the Rocky Mountain Horse is a willing student. Here one of the owners of Mountain Magic Ranch explains the concept of "whoa" to a group eager to learn! |
| Professional horse trainers at Mountain Magic Ranch work and exclusively train using Natural Horsemanship gentling techniques rooted in the celebrated Parelli methods. This gentle, humane approach permanently instills the young horse with trust and confidence - traits that make for ideal, lifelong riding companions. |
| Through watching the horses in their natural environment, the trainers have discovered that they love to play. It is a joy to watch the enthusiasm between the horses and the trainers. It is a time of bonding and the interaction becomes alive. |
| The Rocky Mountain Horse is a wonderful riding horse with a strong heart and a natural endurance. |
| Best known for its gentleness, the Rocky Mountain Horse has a disposition capable of babysitting a child - or a novice rider. |
| It is the wish of Mountain Magic Ranch and Cowboy Hideaway that your visit will provide you with the pleasure of experiencing one of these rare, beautiful horses. Perhaps even your new best friend, a Rocky Mountain Horse, may already be here waiting for you! |
