American Mustangs at The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch
One of The Hideout’s most unique features is our herd of rescued and retrained American Mustangs. Riding a Mustang is a truly special experience — connecting with a horse that was once wild, now partnered through patient, trust-based training.
Our Mustang Herd
Approximately one-third of our 130+ horse herd consists of rescued and retrained American Mustangs. These horses are trained using Authentic Horsemanship methods — patient, trust-based work that respects the horse’s nature.
