Leavenworth Washington’s Premier Outfitter
Wild at Heart
Horse Rides
Season Opening
MAY 11th
Nestled in the beautiful Cascade Mountains in Leavenworth Washington, Wild At Heart Horse Rides offers a unique horseback riding experience. We offer a place where guests can not only ride, but learn and connect with horses, while being immersed in nature on our privately owned trails. We have trail rides for all riding abilities, experienced to beginner, young and old alike, private or public rides.
Our horses are part of our family and we strive to ensure their happiness and comfort along with yours. Our horses live a very natural lifestyle and spend their days off out in a large field. They receive daily pulse electromagnetic therapy treatments to aid in muscle recovery, as well as massage and chiropractic care as needed. The majority of our herd are ridden without bits and our entire herd is kept "barefoot" - i.e. no horseshoes, which allows for a more natural gait and cadence.
