    Academy Riding Stables gave us an unforgettable experience! Matthew was our tour guide and he was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident on their horses. Speaking of the horses, they were the perfect temperament: calm, gentle, and clearly very well cared for. The ride itself was absolutely stunning. Thanks to the fresh snow, the whole landscape looked magical, especially Garden of the Gods covered in a beautiful blanket of white. It was definitely chilly, but we were so grateful they didn't make us cancel--getting to see everything in fresh powder made the experience even more special. If you're looking for a scenic, peaceful, and well-run riding experience, this is the place. We'll be talking about this ride for a long time!

    The ride was beautiful and the horses are amazing. As someone who has never ridden a horse before, I was surprised how easy and relaxing it was. The horses knew well where they were going and did all the work. Evan was an amazing wrangler and guide for the trip.

    We had a group of 7 ranging from 8 years to 50. The staff was professional, the horses were gorgeous and wonderful and the views stunning. Our guide, Jayden, was knowledgeable of the area and the horses and very helpful!

    My husband and I had a fabulous 2 hour ride in Beth & Wilson through the Garden of the Gods! The scenery, the horses, the entire experience was fantastic!

    Our day at Academy Riding Stables was fantastic. It was a beautiful day in the Garden of the God's.

    Had a wonderful day riding horses through the Garden of the God's. Our guide Jaylin was excellent and shared the history of the park. I highly recommend this business!

    Shout out to our guide Danny! We really enjoyed our ride. We had Tot and Mooshoo, the horses. =) Be prepared to be sore if you've never ridden before 10/10

    I accidentally left this review on the wrong account so I apologize for double posting (though this review is extended). This is my active account. REVIEW: I booked a ride for me and my boyfriend for the 11A ride over the weekend. I was on Skeeter and he was on Beth. Skeeter is a sassy mare and I enjoyed riding her, she gave me something to do lol He rode Beth, who was sweet and easy going. The ride itself was beautiful and we had a perfect sunny day to make a brief exploration of the park. I def preferred the ride to walking through as it was hot and we could see more with the bit of height on horseback. Our guide and the rest of the staff was kind, knowledgeable, and informative. I would def go back, extending to the 2 hour ride! I grew up riding horses and 1 hour is not enough time, but great for beginners or if you're short on time.

    Absolutely amazing experience, you can tell they take really great care of the stables. Matthew was a great guide, very funny and sweet. He even made sure to get pictures of our group for us. We only did the 1-hour so we're definitely going to go back to do the 2-hour next time!

    Other than another hour on horseback, do you see any more sights for the two hour ride?

    Yes, the two hour is on another ride of the park. Similar but different views.

    I contacted them last Christmas to book a couples ride for my wife and I. I purchased a gift…read morecertificate obviously assuming we would go for a ride during better weather. I mistakenly assumed that the gift certificate would be good for at least the next year, but it turns out it was limited to nine months. When the weather improved after our busy summer came to an end, we went to book our ride and was told our gift certificate expired one week prior. Nowhere on my receipt did it have an expiration date, and I was never told of one. It was in very small print on the attachment to the gift certificate. I was told there was no exceptions to be made even if I was flexible on our available dates. As locals, this is very disappointing and we will definitely remember this going forward as we could've been long-term customers. We'll be sure to spread the lack of customer service to everybody we know locally as well. My wife was devastated as she was very much looking forward to this after some major life issues during our summer. Sad to see the lack of caring from a local community business.

    After multiple calls, and attempts trying to make a reservation it took TWO days of texting. I…read moreoriginally asked if they had any availability, so they asked what day am I looking for, I replied Saturday would be great. They then told me they are booked out for the next two weeks, and I said okay, I'll do whenever available, I'm really wanting to take my daughter on this experience. To which they replied they are booked out until summer. What a waste of time, and why the run around?? Will absolutely avoid this place in the future.
