Different Saddles for Different Folks: Which Ride Would You Like?

Trail Rides

Experience the Colorado wilderness as you wander through fields of wildflowers, wind through aspen forests and gaze at phenomenal views of the surrounding landscape. This is the same wilderness the first settlers discovered and fell in love with! Pick a 2- or 3-hour ride.

Saddle and Paddle

Experience a full day of adventure when you combine horseback riding with whitewater rafting. You will have a gorgeous morning horseback ride, enjoy lunch beneath the towering mountain peaks, and then conquer the river with an afternoon float trip designed to match your level of desired adrenaline.

Cattle Drives

If you immediately think of the movie City Slickers, you're close. Experience this unique Western tradition that is part of everyday work on a ranch. Learn how to help these wranglers gather a lot of cows on 10,000 acres of undeveloped land with views of the Continental Divide. All ability levels are welcome for this ride.

Private Horseback Rides

If you want a very intimate experience, a private ride is the way to go. Customize your trip by staying in the low lands or getting off the beaten path.

Hay Rides and Chuck Wagons
