Horses & Montana

W

By Cindi Hayne

...the two go hand in hand, and what a place to partake in equestrian activities!

Whether you are a seasoned rider or fulfilling your dream of having your own horse in your backyard Western Montana will offer you the opportunity of a lifetime.

Dream Destinations

For the experienced rider you have a multitude of discipline choices to participate in. Trail riders have access to the Selway – Bitterroot Wilderness area which is the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states and offers over 1.3 million acres of forested lands. Improved trailhead accesses have been established to make hauling your horses in a breeze. Forest access roads are maintained yearly for safe riding and the Back Country Horsemen’s Association is a great contact for trail riding information and group rides.

Established Western disciplines offered include competitive cutting, trail, barrel racing, pole bending, team penning and sorting, mounted shooting, reining and team roping just to name a few.

8

There are events throughout the year utilizing expansive indoor and outdoor facilities throughout the region.

English riders will not be left out with the Montana Dressage Society, Montana Hunter/ Jumper Association, Eventing and Endurance Competitions all extremely active throughout the year. The nationally recognized Rebecca Farms, which is in Kalispell, holds international four star three day events and also hosts regional shows and top rated clinics. The Missoula Equestrian Park is another excellent venue which presents both Western and English regional shows, clinics and events. There are roomy, well maintained permanent stalls on site, a multitude of arenas and a full cross country course.

If you are new to horses there are wonderful training facilities that can assist in the coaching and pairing for your perfect mount. Parelli and John Lyons certified trainers are located in the Bitterroot Valley and offer private lessons or clinic series. The Five Valley’s Pony Club is another excellent opportunity for children to

Taking care of your new partner is easy with the cache of experienced veterinarians, farriers and tack stores.

Locally grown grass, alfalfa or mixture hay is abundant and Lakeland Mills or Pfau Feeds can custom mix your grains.

If you just want to experience Montana on horseback there are many excellent local outfitters who will take you on a scenic trail ride tailored to your desires. The Bob Marshall Wilderness area is an incredible trip where you will experience overnight camping and extensive wildlife.

Pe r tY !

Pr o ve r

Of course, Montana is famous for its rodeos! Top rated cowboys and cowgirls are drawn to the sanctioned events throughout the region with the goal of qualifying for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. The University of Montana and Montana State University have nationally recognized rodeo teams and their local events are a strong community draw.

where’s our montana dreams app?

Great question! In our over excitement concerning our app’s launch, we announced that Apple would release the Montana Dreams App in March. Obviously, this did not happern. Every publisher that submitted their files PRIOR to the New iPad’s release has faced unprecedented wait times, meaning Apple is way behind and so are many developers as they need to bring all their software up to date with the New iPad. Our developer has met compliance and magazines are begining to trickle in...

We hope that by the end of April, or even perhaps by the time this April issue hits the street, The Dreams App will go live!

A Day Upon

Seeley Lake, Montana

By Tom Ski

We arrived in Seeley Lake about nine in the morning, as this sleepy town was coming alive. Stopped at Big Larch National Forest Campground, poured some coffee from our thermos and sipped on some home brew.

While watching the sun reflect off of ripples, we decide to take a drive around the lake and survey the area.

G

ot up this morning and decide to head up Hwy. 35 along the East shore of Flathead Lake. As we approached Bigfork decided to go east to Hwy. 83 and go down the Swan Hwy. along Swan Lake. As we meandered along the shores of Swan Lake and down into the Swan Valley through the town of Swan Lake, passing through Condon. Up over the pass, cruising past Summit Lake, Alva Lake, and Lake Inez as we dropped into the clear water drainage. Home of Seeley Lake, Montana. Famous for Cabin Fever Days in February and the Maggot Races. This time of year no maggot races, just a day of kayaking on the Lake and hanging out with the locals.

After surveying the area and driving around the lake, headed back to Big Larch Campground to create a few sandwiches and get the gear together. After the sandwiches we launched our Kayaks and headed north up the east shore of the lake. Watching the Blue Heron’s and Loon’s playing their games of hide and seek with us..

Much to our surprise there are 4 National forest Campgrounds, with great beaches, 2 of them have very nice boat ramps. All of the campgrounds and rest rooms very clean. Lots of credit to the National Forest Service and the Campground Hosts on a job well done.

Another Spot to View is the Clearwater River Canoe Trail, about 4 miles north of the town of Seeley Lake on the west side of Hwy. 83. Follow the winding dirt road a short distance to the canoe launch site. The parking area will accommodate 4 or 5 vehicles. The area is rich in wildlife, especially birds. Don’t forget your binoculars or your life jackets (the latter required by law). The canoe

There were several boats out fishing and I start talking with both fisherman & fisherwomen about the Lake. It seems the lake as a abundance of Trout, Bass, & Northern Pike, as everyone seemed to be having a mix day of fishing for their favorite.

trail flows about 3 miles to where the Clearwater River enters Seeley Lake just north of the Forest Service ranger station. Take-out is at the ranger station. Forest Service personnel are in the process of improving a foot path along the lake between the ranger station and the canoe launch site so that canoeists will be able to more easily walk through the woods to pick up their vehicles at the canoe launch area.

The community of Seeley Lake, named for the 1,025acre lake at its front door, has a year-round population of about 2,000 people. Its population swells to more than twice that during the summer months when seasonal residents come home to enjoy their mountain cabins. Seeley Lake is one of a half dozen lakes in the Clearwater Valley known as the “Chain of Lakes,” through which the Clearwater River flows.

Seeley Lake is known throughout the Northwest as a resort community, although the timber industry provides most of the permanent jobs for local residents.

The lake itself is stocked several times each year with rainbow trout, some weighing up to 15 pounds. The lake is also very popular among bass fishermen and boasts one of the finest bass fisheries in Western Montana. Other fish species include Kokanee salmon, bull trout, whitefish, perch and bluegills.

After Several hours of paddling , around 10 miles of it, pulled back into Big Larch Campground, packed up our gear and headed downtown to one to the best little chocolate shoops in western Montana for a treat to enjoy on our way home. Tight Lines till Next time. MTD

Seeley Lake has always been a popular winter recreation area. In recent years events such as the Snowmobilavous snowmobile festival, sled dog races and Winterfest, a winter carnival, have all created a renewed interest in winter sports. Cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and ice fishermen love the deep snow and winter beauty that only the Seeley Swan area can offer.

The wind laments down the dirt road between the boardwalks that divide the street. Sagebrush shivers in the wind and the past can be heard in the gales as you stand silently listening to their stories.

Another story shared in Debra D. Munn’s book Montana Ghost Stories, Eerie True Tales is that of Dorothy Dunn who drowned in Grasshopper Creek. Her ghost has presumedly been seen at Hotel Meade. Hotel Meade once served as the county courthouse and at one point it offered refuge for the townspeople of Bannack during rumors of an Indian invasion. The children were placed in the two safes that call the hotel home. The lodging also had a darker side as it once served as a brothel.
