What Our Riders Say

5-Star Trail Rides

β€œThis was the perfect time to ride through the mountains and see the leaves changing. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-hr ride and our guide, Johnny, was great and took lots of photos of us during our time on the trail. My husband is new to riding and a bit nervous, but the horses were well mannered and he had no problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

β€œWe went by with 3 kiddos to feed the horses carrots and apples. Wrangler Johnny asked us if we wanted to take our kiddos on a ride and we said yes! The wranglers were very helpful and great with the kids. The horses were gentle. Johnny gave the kids old horseshoes as a souvenir. Great experience.”
