5.00The Blue Flower Trail Ride was incredible! Savannah and Brandon were both excellent guides—friendly, patient, and very attentive to everyone’s comfort and safety on the horses. They gave clear instructions, which made even beginners feel confident, and they shared interesting stories along the way. The trail itself was gorgeous, with scenic views that made the ride unforgettable. It felt both adventurous and peaceful at the same time. Huge thanks to Savannah and Brandon for making this such a wonderful experience!

5.00The horseback riding experience was amazing. Hunter and Brendan, our guides, were top shelf and very skilled. They are very experienced and personable and immediately put everyone at ease. The trails are very open and the terrain is perfect for beginners. It was relaxing, stress free and we saw the most amazing landscapes! I highly recommend. Also, use Waze directions and they will get you there perfectly.
What a great experience!...

5.00Very friendly and helpful. Good with riders with a wide range of riding experience and ability. I was worried about the ride as I have had both knees replaced and have hip issues. I started the ride and decided it was too much for me. They did not hesitate to take me back to the barn and the rest of the group continued. Cannot express how great they were enough.
Amazing Experience!!
