What an amazing experience!!! - What an amazing experience!!! Breathtaking!! It was everything we hoped it would be! We had our awesome guide Jeff for both Thunder Mountain and our all day ride through Red Canyon. He took so many amazing pictures through our rides that he later shared with all of us. Also, throughout both rides he pointed out many interesting highlights and even had a few good stories to share!! Their horses were amazing, and very novice friendly! These trail rides will get you down in the riverbeds and up on the rims of the canyon that give you a completely different perspective of this beautiful scenery. Just do it!!! You will never regret it!

Breathtaking - This is a must do!! The scenery was beautiful, amazing and scary. I only put scary, because of the heights. You must have ridden before and not be afraid of heights. This is four hours that you won’t forget! Breathtaking!!

Views are spectacular, hard to describe the vast beauty! - Excellent experience. Our cowgirl was Anita and she was knowledgeable and carefully took us around Thunder mountain. WOW was that awesome. 5 guests in our group and all experienced except one who had never been on a horse. A horse named Wallin was assigned to her and between the great horse and Anita the whole experience was great. Everyone agreed that we would do it again.

Best ever - By far, the most beautiful horse back riding I’ve ever done! This Thunder Mountain ride provides everything - breathtaking heights and fabulous views! Our guide, Jake, was a treasure. He shared some great stories of a lifetime of loving the great outdoors, especially with his beloved mules. The horses we rode were rock solid. This 4 hour experience is a must for riders!

Thunderback ride a highlight! You gotta do it! - We had an amazing experience yesterday on the Thunderback ride! Our guide, Jeff, was awesome! He had a lot of knowledge to share! There were only 3 of us on the ride and he was very relaxed and flexible and worked at our skill level, willing to stop as necessary. The views were breathtaking. I highly recommend the 4 hour trail! The panoramic views were all worth it! He even took photos along the way and airdropped them to us at the end!

Wonderful Bryce Trail - My husband wanted to take the horse tour even though we were in our senior years. It was really an awesome experience. Our guide Carter was very patient with us and watched us very carefully. He was so personable with such a pleasing personality. Tommy was also very helpful in getting us on and off the horses. Loved it!

Giddy Up - We wanted a true horseback experience and this did not disappoint. Tyre was our guide and made sure everyone was safe, comfortable (as comfortable as one can be on the back of a horse), and having fun. We highly recommend him. The trail provided amazing views and Tyre made sure everyone got all the photos that would be desired on this particular trip. Fair warning to other city folk, the 4 hour ride may test the limitations of what your rear end can handle. However, if a bit of discomfort doesn’t faze you, then giddy up.
