    The horses here are clearly well-loved and well-trained, with guests consistently praising how gentle and calm they are with riders of all experience levels. The family-run operation gets high marks for friendly, professional guides like Brian, Tucker, and Lori, who check in frequently and show real patience with nervous first-timers and young children. The mountain scenery along the trails is legitimately beautiful, and the longer rides include a stop at a garnet mine where you can hunt for treasures. A couple reviewers mentioned concerns about animal grooming and feeling rushed through the experience, with one noting their ride was shortened without explanation. However, the vast majority describe healthy, well-cared-for horses and attentive service. Jackie and his family have created an operation that works well for families, seniors, and children with special needs. Most guests leave thrilled with their experience and eager to return.

    Highly recommend Sandy Bottom Trial Rides! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and prioritized riders' safety. The equine all seemed healthy and were happy to do what they do. The views of the mountains were spectacular. We did the 3 hour gemstone ride, and while the cave is sectioned off for safety reasons, we found some really neat gems to take home. We met the owner at the end and enjoyed learning about their family's history - they've been hosting trail rides for 29 years! We are glad we visited!
