Great Ride Through Amazing Scenery

5.00My family of 5 (kids 17, 15, 12) had a really great time on this trail ride. It was better than any previous trail ride that I have been on, and I have been on quite a few. The scenery was GORGEOUS and the guides were so much fun. They chatted with us, entertained us with songs and rodeo stories, and even sang happy birthday to my husband and son. You don’t need any prior horse experience to do this ride, but it also isn’t boring if you do. If you are considering which ride to take, I can’t say enough about how gorgeous the canyon was that they took us through. I highly recommend this if you are in Bryce and considering a horseback adventure.
Cared for horses - Nice way to see the surrounding - Great staff!

5.00We had a great experience. Lauren was our guide, and she was personable and knowledgeable about the trees and landscape. She made the trip fun and interesting for us!!!! The staff was excellent! Great outfit, would highly recommend. Horses were cared for, and all were very well behaved. It was a pleasure not fighting to keep our horses from eating the grass, as we have experienced in most horseback riding experiences.
DO THIS!

5.00Amazing tour going through the Eye of the Needle, from the ridge down into the valley, along all the hoodoos and past the many weary hikers--SO much better to be on horseback! 3,000 vertical feet and dry heat. Lovely experience and wonderful guide.
Do this ride!!!

5.00We enjoyed a gorgeous view from the ease of horseback. Went 300’ vertical and 8 miles along the Peekaboo trail and others. Stunning to ride through the small arch to “thread the needle”. Excellent guide, humorous and personable. He even recited his own cowboy poetry. After seeing the exhausted hikers along the trail, we were so happy we were on horseback. What a stunning unforgettable trip!! Highly recommended.
Beautiful Ride

5.00Beautiful horse ride through Losee canyon near Bryce Canyon national park. My horse Little B was well behaved along with all the others.
It's Red Canyon-Not Bryce-But Nice!

3.00The ride was nice but not as advertised. The pictures shown were on top of the canyon and in some wide-open areas as well as through the canyon. It was not a 4-hour ride. The trip started at 1:00 meeting place with a 20–25-minute ride to the horses and then back again to the meeting place. Then it takes about 1/2 hour to get everyone saddled up. So, you may be riding for about 2 hours which is great for most people. The ride is not alongside or through Bryce. It's through Red Canyon which was very pretty but don't expect Bryce. The horses were very good. Our guide Skylar was very nice and had a dry sense of humor. Overall, I would recommend it if you never rode through a Canyon before.
Great change of pace experience

5.00Very nice change of pace experience. Not having horseback riding experience made the 3 hour ride a little painful. There isn’t a place where you get off the horses and take a break. We would have done the shorter trip had we known. It is a lot of the same sites and terrain so the shorter trip would be ideal for people who have not ridden or rarely ride. But it was still a very nice trip and our guide Braden was great.

5.00We had an amazing ride with Ruby's on Weds 30th July for a 3 hour ride in the morning in Losee Canyon. We had never been horse riding before and trusted the website that this was suitable for beginners and we didn't have any problems. The horses were well cared for and well trained and by the end of the ride we felt very at ease considering I was quite nervous to start the day! Our ride was a full 3 hours at a very manageable pace and the riding style was easy to pick up. All of the staff were great and checked in on us and the horses regularly. We were right at the back of the group and spent a lot of time chatting with the two wranglers towards the back of the queue who were very personable and hilarious, we had a good laugh! The ride its self was beautiful, it's not very shaded and quite hot but also quite flat with no major slops which suited us as beginners perfectly. Legs and bum were a little sore at the end which we expected but be prepared for stiffness! I'd also recommend using the restroom before you leave the hotel pick up as there is only one not so pleasant compost toilet on site when you arrive. Thank you Ruby's Horseback adventures for an amazing introduction to horse riding!
Our ride was canceled without adequate notice. Go ride somewhere else!

1.00We arrived at the Activities Desk to check-in for our ride, only to be told the ride had been canceled. The attendant said I was emailed regarding the cancellation. I don't view that as acceptable, especially when other communications were via text. I don't check my email on vacation. I pulled up my Outlook account; there was an email regarding the cancellation, with the reason being horse readiness. I asked for clarification from the staff, but received none. As we, and another group, would ride on a shorter trip minutes later, this excuse seems disingenuous. (Of note, this shorter trip was not worth the expense.) Given all the above, we will not be using Ruby's when we come back, as there are other stables in the area.
