MANHATTAN RIDING CLUB’S
SILVER SPUR RANCH ADVENTURE
AUGUST 24-29 2026
An Exclusive Adventure in the Rocky Mountains
We are headed back for our second year with the World Famous Silver Spur Horse Drive! This is not your typical dude ranch experience, join us for an experience you will never forget as we herd 40+ horses through the Rocky Mountains of Idaho! We will be taking a group of 14 MRC riders for this unforgettable experience, grab your riding buddy and sign up now to join us.
Fully disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life for a completely off grid experience (No wifi or cell signal)! The ranch is fully Off-grid and powered by the sun. The first 2 nights will be spend at the ranch in cabins that are simple but nice. Each cabin has power for charging your devices and light to see at night.
Live like they did in the old west! Partake in the famous outdoor shower, a treat after a long days ride, with endless hot water that helps get all the dust off. Do your business in the Outhouse, at the ranch and at each campsite the toilet facilities are outhouse style (you want western, you got it)!
You will be spending three nights here at the ranch and two nights out along the trail. The staff of cowboys and cowgirls will not only teach you how to rope but they are there to assist you as best they can.

Expect 15-20mile/day riding. Each day differs in length and speeds due to terrain but expect to be riding for at least 5hours per day.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all the snacks and non-alcoholic drinks you can imagine are provided for you. If you are vegetarian or have a health allergy just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. We will also have a stop on the way from the airport where you can pickup any additional libations you wish to bring!
You will be staying two nights at two different campsites in Kodiak canvas tents with foam pads, warm sleeping bags, and all your gear will be waiting for you once you arrive by horse back.
The first campsite has a natural warm spring you can bathe in and get all the dust off. Each night we will gather around the campfire for cooking and keeping warm once the sun goes down.
We will be herding around 40 horses back to the ranch.
