The horses and mules of 7 Lazy P Outfitting are the foundation of every wilderness adventure we offer. Without dependable stock, traditional backcountry travel through the Bob Marshall Wilderness would not be possible. Our horses and mules safely carry guests, guides, and equipment through rugged mountain terrain while helping create the authentic wilderness experience that defines the 7 Lazy P.
Developing quality mountain stock requires years of time, knowledge, patience, and dedication. Every horse and mule in our string has a unique personality, and we carefully match guests with stock suited to their experience level and trip needs.
Time
It takes years to develop a great mountain horse or mule. Creating a solid foundation with the young stock is vital to their being a successful part of our operation. From imprinting babies to reworking a purchased horse or mule, there is a lot involved in creating the ultimate mountain horse or mule.
Knowledge
Dusty & Danelle both grew up with horses and have continued to build their natural horsemanship skills by learning from skilled horseman such as Bryan Neubert, Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt. You will see a sign above our tack shed that says, “The horse is never wrong.” This statement seems so simple, yet is very deep in it’s meaning. When you ride with us, you will grow to understand this.
Dedication
Raising and making good horses and mules is similar to raising good kids. Dedication, determination, and discipline are continually used to mold good behavior. Every horse or mule is different so good stockmanship skills involve continual modification to find what works to advance each individual horse or mule. We are dedicated to developing good stock and to helping the crew grow into good stockmen/women and above all, good individuals. We find working with horses, mules, and young people very rewarding.
We often use the phrase, anything worthwhile is never easy. Persistence and integrity are the core of our operation.
We love all of our stock and the individuals they are. We look forward to matching you to one of our seasoned horses.
A Commitment to Good Stockmanship
At 7 Lazy P Outfitting, we believe good stockmanship is essential to every successful wilderness trip. We are proud of the horses and mules that make these adventures possible and appreciate the trust they place in us every day on the trail.
We look forward to introducing guests to the seasoned horses and mules that are such an important part of the 7 Lazy P experience.
