Unparalleled Riding Experiences. The best riding you’ll
experience, from beginners to advanced. As a working ranch,
we offer the top cross-country riding in Montana with one-on-one
cattle working opportunities. With no specified trails,
covering our private ranch is a true & intimate experience.
Experienced riders, ride with a purpose. Beginners, we cater
to your needs. Groups & families, ride together.
Runamuk is for those who want a true ranch experience with
riding opportunity beyond compare. We are a 5th generation(since
1886) working cattle ranch raising commercial cattle and
horses year round on 18,000 acres of private land consisting
of pine tree forests, open meadows and sandstone rimrocks.
Runamuk sits in a beautiful mountainous area with plenty
of riding up Bull Mountain rimrock and through open meadows.
You will experience genuine ranch life by riding horses
and moving cattle in some of Montana’s beautiful country.
Although our main focus is riding, we also offer an array
of activities off the back of a horse to accommodate each
group or family member. We offer great food as seen on The
Food Network, horseback riding, atv rides, massage, yoga,
hiking, beautiful scenery and a place to relax. During your
submersion into our western lifestyle, our staff strives
to meet your requests.
For those of you who would like to take your experience
to the next level, you can ride side by side with one of
Montana's premier horsemen, Reed
Trexler. With his individual attention, you will build
insurmountable horsemanship and riding confidence.
Take an entire submersion into western culture with Runamuk's
Rider's Week in June featuring Reed Trexler. A very
personalized week dedicated to you avid riders! Being the
only ranch to offer this experience, you will go home excited
about High Performance Horsemanship and Western Horsemanship
and culture.
And don't forget to contact
us about our corporate retreats!
We do not require a minimum stay and you can arrive and
depart on any day of the week. We book on a first come,
first served basis as we take a limited number of guests
per week. Guests book for truly unlimited riding and the
flexibility to devise their own schedule.

Testimonials
for Runamuk Guest Ranch...A Working Ranch Experience
"Thank
you - this was honestly the best vacation
decision I ever made! In New York,
where everyone is so jet-set to the same
old Aspen or Miami scene on the weekends
and you are "nobody" if you don't
vacation in Europe, I just cannot tell you
how that does not even hold a candle to
this - this is ten times more fun(!!) and
people have no idea what they are missing!
I have been in New York for 9 years and
this was "SO" what the doctor
ordered, I will be coming back for sure
and bringing my skeptical New York-city
slicker-friend, Sharon (who by the
way, told me today at lunch she has
never had so much fun in her life and wants
to do this every year.) Both she and
my mom can't stop talking to me about it
and thanking me for bringing them along!
I also want to sincerely thank you for opening
your home up to us, cooking the most fabulous
meals, allowing us to make our own schedule
with a terrific and very personable Guide, treating
us like family, and giving us the run of
your absolutely stunningly beautiful 18,000
acres. It was exactly what I pictured
a "perfect Montana scene" to be
and I am still amazed we were there for
an entire week and only saw half of it!!
What started out as a solo vacation,
and quickly became a family/ friend vacation,
was the most refreshing fun yet relaxing
vacation I have ever had..ever. It
was 100 times better than expected and I
had expected it to be great from the start!
We are all looking forward to coming
back!" Kath,
New York
"You
provided me the best vacation of my life
and lots of great memories! When I'm
riding I frequently reflect on that week
and all the experiences there. You're
wonderful people and I would readily admit
I will miss you." Jim, Oregon
"5
days back in North Carolina and I can safely
say for "Me & My Gang" that
our bodies may be here but our minds and spirits
remain on Runamuk Ranch. The most common
question of the week has been "how was
your trip" and I'm still searching for
the words that would even come close to describing
it. In fact my standard answer now is
that you can look at all the pictures and
listen to us talk about it, but til you experience
it, you'll never understand what it was
like. I spent 26 years in the military for
the pure love of travel but none of my overseas
or stateside travels ever left me with that
feeling that I had seen and experienced something
truly remarkable. From that 1st night
sitting under the Montana sky, viewing what
the Supreme Architect of the Universe had
created, until having to say goodbye on Sunday
morning to those who seemed to have been life
long friends cannot be conveyed adequately
to other. You don't provide just a place
to vacation you provide a retreat to renew
the mind an soul and create a lifetime of
memories and experience."
Gene Mauldin, North Carolina
"Toby
and Jody Dahl can do it all. They
know how to entertain the oldest to the
youngest person who visits their ranch. I
am 38 years old and I came with my dad who
is 75 years old. We were both
catered to and got to do exactly what our
hearts desired, we felt as comfortable at
the ranch as if we were at home. I
wanted to get as much horse back riding
in as I could and I did just that. There
is so much beautiful scenery, it was just
overwhelming. We ate and ate and ate
very delicious food; we separated cattle
on horseback, and as a bonus we saw some
amazing lightening storms. The vacation
was exactly what we had dreamed of and we
would love to come back again. This small
comment doesn't do justice to how much fun
we both had." Rhonda
Davidson & Ken Lowry, OR.
"I
miss your golden meadows, gray rimrocks,
and unbounded sky. I often pause in my hectic
day and recall cantering across the high
golden meadow while a herd of horses graze
in the distance under the incredibly blue
sky, and wish I were there again. Your house
feels like home; it is a warm and relaxing
place to relax after the day's adventures.
You and Toby could not have been more perfect
hosts. The food was always delicious, and
the discussions interesting. I learned so
much about an area of the country so different
from my home. It was so much fun learning
to drive cattle...how to move them from
one pasture to another, how to move my horse
to make them do what I wanted. My husband
really enjoyed learning to drive a wagon
with a two-horse team. That is something
I never imagined him trying-much less enjoying
so much! Riding with Toby was the best for
me, he knows so much about his land, its
history and its future. He knows the habits
of the elk and deer, as well as the other
animals that cross his land as well as being
conscious of proper stewardship in managing
the herds--both wild and domestic. Toby
has such a quiet way about him, the ability
to teach without lecturing. It makes you
hang onto his every word! Jody, you are
the perfect hostess, you are so comfortable
to be with as well as an excellent cook.
It was so thoughtful of you to make me creme
brulee for my birthday! In short, you treated
me like a friend." Susan, AL
"A dream vacation! I hadn't been on
a horse in ten years and was somewhat nervous
before heading out to Runamuk. The exceptional
hospitality by Jody Dahl and the expertise
and knowledge of her husband Toby make for
a winning combination. I was provided with
wonderful horses to ride that perfectly
suited my ability; the lodging were clean,
private and comfortable, the scenery spectacular
and food exceptional. In addition to wonderful
trail riding, horsemanship lessons and cattle
work, I also took advantage of the other
excellent services offered: yoga classes,
trips to Billings, Roundup and the rodeo.
I cannot praise this ranch, or its owners,
highly enough." Adele, England
"It was the best riding we've ever
had." Susie, GA
