2 Hours
Horse, Guide, Helmet
Take a two-hour horseback trail ride designed for adults who want a calm, unhurried experience without children in the group. You’ll ride with other 18+ guests and enjoy scenery, steady momentum, and time to relax in the saddle.
Riders must be 18+ and a minimum of 2 riders is required. Weight limits apply: 225 lbs if under 6', 240 lbs if over 6', and 260 lbs if over 6'4". Closed-toe shoes and long pants are required, and riders may not participate if visibly impaired.
Full refund with at least 48 hours and 5 minutes notice. The operator may cancel due to outrageous weather or other unforeseen circumstances; customers will receive a full refund in that case. Groups of 12+ and private rides require 30 days notice for a full refund; some private events and larger groups require 60 days notice.
Vail Stables
The horses here know their stuff, and so do the guides. Pedro, Chloe, Olivia, and the other staff members consistently earn praise for being friendly, patient, and excellent at making nervous or first-time riders feel completely at ease. The owner Kim gets special mentions for her warmth and attention to detail. Families particularly appreciate how accommodating they are with young children (they take kids as young as 5), and the horses like Chester, Twister, and even Sassy are well-trained and perfectly matched to riders' experience levels. The trail rides through the "Enchanted Forest" are genuinely breathtaking, especially during fall when the aspens are changing colors. Guides thoughtfully stop for photos and keep safety as a top priority throughout the experience. A couple of reviewers wished they'd had more time to connect with their horses before and after rides, noting the operation can feel a bit rushed during busy periods with little opportunity for petting or bonding. Beyond horseback riding, the goat happy hour and goat yoga get enthusiastic mentions as fun, relaxed activities with stunning mountain views.
