Children must be 6 years old to ride. We offer two and four hour rides. Four hour rides are provided a snack. If you have special dietary needs you will need to provide for your own dietary needs and we can not be responsible for these. We do have saddle bags for water and snacks please bring water and snacks.
WARNING:THE EVENT MAY RUN LONG OR SHORT IT IS NOT EXACT DUE TO CHECK IN, LOADING, AND SAFETY INSTRUCTION. WE LOVE HORSES THEY REQUIRE TIME. WE ARE ON COWBOY TIME. WE ARE NOT RUSHING. THIS EVENT TAKES WELL OVER TWO HOURS WHEN ALL ASPECTS ARE COMBINED. PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THE HORSES AND WRANGLERS AS WE ALL REQUIRE WATER!!
Again .... We must care for the horses and riders. This means that it takes over an hour to load all the groups at each time period. This is normal and to be expected, so please be patient and enjoy the cuddly horses

Very skittish and undisciplined horses. Not for beginners at all. Horses required high levels of control and would jump, canter, and run up and down hillsides. One woman in our riding group was thrown. The guides had no clear procedure for handling an injured woman or how to handle the rest of the horses who started to get agitated. Lots of biting and kicking horses. I’ve been on about 5 Trail rides and this was a scary one. I regret putting myself and family in danger.Libby was a great guide! Lots of beautiful views and sweet horses. My husband and I came for our wedding anniversary, and Libby took some wonderful photos for us. We both highly recommend!

I want to point out what I found were the positives and ideas to improve. First, we had what I considered the perfect size, 6 riders, plus our guide Deshaun. Riders’ level of experience was never having been on a horse to an accomplished rider. I would recommend a little more ring time before departing. Deshaun answered all of my questions, yet the riders in the rear couldn’t hear him. I would recommend stopping for just a couple of minutes in a few intervals to check on riders and give instruction on how to handle the horse. We had a beautiful ride, we made it to the top of a gravel road and Deshaun took photos of each couple with the mountain range as our backdrop. These horses do not gallop, it’s more of a slight trot but my horse was very well mannered. Overall it was enjoyable, but I would not want to be with a large group.Colby was a fun and phenomenal guide. He was very knowledgeable and my wife and I had a tremendous time on our 2 hour ride. We would definitely return and ask for Colby.

I have been a licensed riding instructor and trainer for 40 years. I also spent 10 years taking high profile clients on supervised rides cross country, so am more than qualified to address this issue. There were SO many things that were wrong and potentially dangerous in this ride. Taking a group of 18 people, at least 16 of whom were rank beginners, two of whom were small children, and one of those scared to pieces, was crazy. There was a lead rider and a wrangler. That was not enough to care for 18 riders. The horse the child was on decided to head for home an hour into the ride. The potential for critical injury was huge. The second guide had to leave the group to get the kid and one parent back to the ranch safely. Another rider started having trouble w a horse kicking at it's belly repeatedly, an hour and a half out, on a tar road, going downhill. He rightly expressed concern and was told he could get off and walk. Another rider, the only other with some experience, offered and did switch horses. Had I EVER been advised as to the possible size of the group, I would never have gone. I basically spent the 2 hours watching out for my family and the riders immediately near me. And it cost me money to do so. Really disappointed. And, I doubt this will be posted for review of potential clients.
