This time, we reveal the opportunity to ride in Wyoming, one of the largest states in the United States where you will feel like Buffalo Bill in the vastness of its plains and the Rocky Mountains.

Wyoming “The Cowboy State”

Famous for movies and historical figures like William 'Buffalo Bill', Wyoming offers miles and miles of beautiful landscapes to explore on horseback.

Equestrian tourism lovers will find their paradise here and will return more than once to try to cover it all.

Wyoming borders Montana to the north and Colorado to the south. It is the least populated state in the United States and is home to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The Rocky Mountains dominate the western two-thirds of the state, while the eastern third is high open prairie.

For experienced riders with an adventurous spirit, there is nothing like riding “off road” and visiting the wildest and most remote regions, accessible only on horseback, to admire their most precious treasures. Thousands of kilometers of pristine natural landscapes.

Still largely undiscovered by global tourism, Wyoming is anything but "the edge of the world," as an American writer once called it.

Hayden Valley - Yellowstone

Although the state's geography mainly includes open plains, high desert strips, and wide mountain ranges, it also contains many small towns full of places to visit, such as historic buildings, museums, shops, and restaurants.

A great place to discover the last vestiges of the Old West. Wyoming's tourist attractions include the country's first national park, Yellowstone National Park, Native American reservations, and a handful of ghost towns.

Proposals for Your Horseback Vacations in Wyoming

While traveling on horseback through this "Cowboy State," you can stay at some of its famous ranches and participate in their daily activities.
