It was great! - A friend and I were out for 2h with Kristy and it was fantastic! The horses are great and very safe on the uneven paths. We talked great with Kristy and she also told us a lot about the area and the horses :)

Great memories made! - My daughter was pretty nervous to go on her first horseback ride. Our guide Taylor really helped her through it and she had the best time. She wanted to go again! The horses have such unique personalities and were so funny. The scenery was gorgeous and it was just an awesome experience all around. We will definitely do this again when we’re in the area!

Happy Horses, beautiful 2 hour ride! - Mike is a fun and informative Cowboy! We really enjoyed our 2 hour ride. The horses are well cared for and were top notch! Danny (my horse) was a sweetie. Go through the river and riding in a group was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour and Mike for all ages and experience level.

Take in the view - We went on a great ride with Mike. This is nice way to see the area without having to be so focused on the trail (MTB) or driving! Mike and his assistants are fun and helpful.

Would recommend Horse Back Riding! - Would recommend. Mike was out guide. He is very knowledgeable in the area and a real cowboy. All which adds to the experience. Sure footed horses, helmets and all the safety measures. The ride was beautiful, so up close to the mountains and rocks, places we could not have hiked , as we are not hikers! Mike smiled at my O'Queeny poem. If your in the area I would recommend this horseback riding, as you'll see plants and animals not seen from the roadways. Great horses too. It made our trip extra special, thanks Mike & Capitol Reef Resort!

Amazing horse ride with beautiful view and amazing conversations - Highly recommend. Mike did an awesome job. Took the time to explains things and made sure everything was taken care of. The horse were great, very well trained trial riders. The view is amazing!! We had great conversations, Mike has some fun cowboy stories. Once the ride was over, we had so much fun talking to Mike we hung around for another half hour like we were old friends. Thanks Mike for an incredible experience! Would definitely do this again!

Stay in your lane - Very flexible. Rain was threatening at our scheduled time, and Mike allowed us to push it back until the weather cleared. The good: Riding instructions, jaw dropping scenery, saw a rattlesnake and a coyote. The could have done without: Ten minutes on how great Toby Keith is, political commentary without any consideration for the audience. We were smart enough not to engage.
