The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch in Wyoming – A Riding & Horsemanship Guest Ranch.

The Hideout is an upscale working cattle, horsemanship and riding guest ranch that attracts riders from all over the world. In the last three years, the focus of The Hideout’s program has become more centralized with an emphasis on horses, riding and horsemanship. As a result of this specialization, they have seen an influx of European, international and American riders seeking a guest ranch that goes beyond cowboy cattle work and the everyday nose-to-tail. A full time trainer / clinician and well-rounded riding staff with backgrounds in both English and Western are your riding partners and instructors at this guest ranch. They share open minds and foster a “common sense” and respectful approach to horsemanship.

The Hideout’s approach to horsemanship understands that great horsemanship is universal; while maintaining a willingness to learn and share findings with fellow riders, one also needs to remember to accept diversity in riding styles and breeds. Great horsemanship equals great leadership.

The riding and training program at The Hideout is managed by Authentic Horses & Training, LLC., a company & concept owned and managed by Hideout managers Peter & Marijn de Cabooter in partnership with clinician, trainer & vaquero Ramon Castro. While the De Cabooter’s come to the partnership with the guest ranch, conceptional, financial & business perspective, Ramon comes with years of experience working at American and Mexican horse and cattle ranches – together, they foster a unique and effective riding and training program at The Hideout. AH Horsemanship and The Hideout work closely together with The Mustang Heritage Foundation and always have a string of well-trained mustangs to ride and for sale.
