This was a bucket list item for sure. We took an hour ride with Chrissie and loved every minute of it. We’re both total beginners but Chrissie (and our horses!) were great - very calm, very clear in the instructions and very patient. I was so sad when our hour was up - could’ve trekked through the beautiful countryside on those well-behaved horses forever. Big thanks to Chrissie, Copper, and Applejack!

Simply fantastic from start to finish. These people are fantastic in there approach to back country scenic experiences. Great with children and great with the whole family. Horses are really well taken care of and ample area. Easy acces off highway 11 and ample parking with turn arround. We will deffinately be returning to the ranch in spring. People with mobility issues have the ability to ride also with steps to assist in getting onto and off the horses. I am sure they have other means if neccesary as well if asked for. The prices are very reasonable for the area, very unexpected, but very pleased. We have been on many trail rides, this is in our top two of all time.

Amazing ride! We took a 2 hr sunset ride with Royce. We got to do a lot more on this trail ride than other ones we've done, like taking the horses through water and trotting. ( Even cantering once but I wasn't supposed to ???? ) I can't say enough good things about this ride! We will for sure be back!
