We had a group of 9 that went for the hour long trail ride Labor Day weekend. Highly recommend them. They were great with our novice riders. We plan on going again in the future.
My boyfriend and I did a guided horseback ride with lunch, and it was such a wonderful experience! Our guide, Bryce, was extremely knowledgeable about both the horses and the area. As complete beginners, we felt very comfortable thanks to the time he took to explain proper techniques for holding the reins, sitting positions, and overall horse handling. The ride itself was absolutely beautiful, winding through the mountains with stunning views. Lunch was a great addition and made the day feel even more special. We’d highly recommend this experience to anyone—whether you’re new to horseback riding or more experienced. Bryce made sure it was safe, enjoyable, and memorable.
My husband and I had the best few days camping and a great trail ride back in June. We can’t wait to come back! The campground was quiet and peaceful and we loved walking down the lane in the evenings to watch the horses.
