Bring your own horse or saddle up at quality outfitters and dude ranches located in the Gunnison-Crested Butte Valley.

Some facilities offer both lodging and boarding of horses, so your equine companion will never be far away. A few highlights for equine enthusiasts include clinics with Gunnison County's own horse whisperer, Johnny Leverett (http://www.johnnyleverett.com), horse-related events surrounding the 108th Annual Gunnison Cattlemen's Days (July 5 - 13), and an abundance of guided trail ride options.
