Excellent

Most visitors rave about the spectacular mountain scenery and well-trained horses that make even first-time riders feel comfortable. The horses get consistent praise for being calm and obedient, handling beginners with ease. Guides like Chelsea, Ella, Kara, and Mark earn specific shoutouts for being friendly, knowledgeable, and going the extra mile with photos and songs. The fall season appears to be particularly magical, with changing aspen groves and occasional snow-capped peaks creating memorable backdrops. Small group sizes and clean facilities add to the positive experience. There are two concerning reviews involving serious injuries from falls, with both riders expressing disappointment about the lack of follow-up care afterward. One guest also mentioned being placed on the wrong horse that showed aggression toward other horses. These safety incidents stand out against otherwise glowing feedback, so it's worth considering your comfort level with inherent riding risks. Most riders, including beginners, had smooth and peaceful experiences without issues. The overwhelming majority found it easy to book and would happily return for another ride.
