Great experience. A different way to experience Yosemite. The horses are in good health and well trained. The cowboys and cowgirls are awesome. Thank you Michelle.

I have been on many guided horseback rides and this one was refreshingly unique in the information and mini lesson they give before the ride. They care about you and the horses and it shows. We did the hour ride, it was a really fun trail that crossed water. Definitely interesting with beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

Really fun way to spend an afternoon. The owner and instructor, Wes, taught us everything we needed to know before setting off on our voyage through the forest. We walked through some small creeks and on a hose path the whole way. Great price for the experience.

Wow!!!! This family knows horses. Every horse is 100% trained. Every Wrangler is well trained, aware of the riders, informative, and friendly. My family enjoyed exploring areas that we wouldnt otherwise have access to. The owner is a doll, she reminds me of my neighbors. Shes trustworthy, knowledgeable, and committed to not only providing a fun experience but also sharing her families heritage and ensuring that every rider learns the basics. We ride horses. None of her horses would create an issue for anyone.
Dont forget to tip your guide. Our guide Dylan was personable and genuinely

Fantastic Riding Experience! I can't say enough about the kind and generous staff here. They take the time and care to give a truly personal experience to each guest. They teach and instruct, giving dignity and respect to both the horse, and the rider. Beautiful trails, beautiful animals, beautiful people. We will be back!
