Nate

Owner • Head Trainer • Horsemanship Expert

Hello! My name is Nate Ostrander, and I am the owner of PNW Guided Trail Rides. I’m also the owner and head trainer of Two Eyes Horsemanship, where I’ve worked as a professional horse trainer for over 15 years. I have also been the head trainer for the Spokane C.O.P.S Mounted Patrol Unit since 2018!

I’ve trained hundreds of horses across many breeds—along with their owners—including every horse you’ll ride on our guided trail experiences. Teaching people about horses is my passion, and I offer both private and group riding lessons through Two Eyes Horsemanship.

When you inevitably fall in love with horses after your ride and want to learn more, I’d love to help—just give me a call!

Brook

Volunteer Wrangler • Lifelong Rider • Natural Horsemanship

Howdy! My husband, Nate, is the owner of PNW Guided Trail Rides, and I volunteer my time to help out on the trails. Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—I even “bought” my first horse at age five for four pennies (with a little help from my mom, of course).

I’ve competed in horse shows, 4-H, and WAHSET, and I studied Natural Horsemanship in college with hopes of becoming an Equine Special Therapist. Sharing meaningful experiences with horses has always been my passion.

Nate and I are so excited to share our horses with you and help create lifelong memories for you and your family. See you on the trails!

Greta

Social Media Creator • Ranch-Savy  • Story telling

Hello, my name is Greta. I’ve had a deep love for horses and the ranching lifestyle for as long as I can remember. For the past nine seasons, I’ve volunteered at a working cattle ranch in Montana, where I first discovered my passion for riding and truly appreciating horses’ raw power, intelligence, and razor-sharp wit. There’s nothing quite like a good working horse, and that passion has stayed with me ever since.

One of my favorite things about being a wrangler is introducing people to the world of ranching, farming, livestock, the country lifestyle, and of course, the amazing horses that make it all possible. Whether you’re brand new to horses or a lifelong rider, I love helping people build confidence in the saddle and creating an experience they’ll never forget.

I’ve spent most of my life in Montana, from the mountains to the Highline, so chances are you’ll hear plenty of stories about life out there while we ride; probably more than you bargained for if you let me get going!

I was born and raised in Missouri, where my family runs an English and Western performance horse ranch in the Midwest. Every now and then you might hear a little of that accent sneak out.

So saddle up and get ready; between the horses, the scenery, and the stories, it’s bound to be an unforgettable ride.

Carson

Horsemanship experience • Dedicated  • Saftey minded

Howdy! My name is Carson, and I’ve been immersed in western horsemanship for over ten years. My horse and I love spending time roping, cow sorting, and exploring the trails together.

I’m working toward becoming the best horse trainer I can be, gaining hands-on experience with mustangs, colt starting, and finishing work alongside Nate at Two Eyes Horsemanship.

On every guided trail ride, my top priority is ensuring both the horse and the rider feel safe, comfortable, and confident—so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
