As an experienced rider, I was looking for a trail ride that would not be the stereotypical nose-to-tail walking trail ride that is so commonly offered, and this trail ride did not disappoint! We were able to ride in a pack, side-by-side each other. We rode from the ranch, out through a pasture, and up a hillside to the top of the butte. On the butte, they let us experienced riders do more than walk on our horses. Amy, Josh, and Josh were so warm and welcoming and shared some history about the area. Fantastic tour guides, and amazing humans. My friend and I were visiting Colorado for about a week, and Amy gave us some recommendations of additional things to do/see while we were in the area, as well. Next time I make it back to Colorado, I would absolutely go back and visit Platte Ranch again. Cannot recommend this place enough for those looking for a truly awesome riding experience in the mountains!!

But I still enjoy horses and being out in nature so much that I try to go when we are on vacation just for fun. This place is anything but a nose-to-tail trail ride. The horses were all fantastic, the wranglers were very friendly, very informative, and amazing at their job, and the scenery was breathtaking. I would almost go back to Colorado for another vacation just to go riding here again. I cannot recommend it enough!!! Not only was the ride amazing, and the scenery too, but our trail guides were the very best. They engaged with each one individually, tried to learn a little about each of us and made sure everyone was having a good time, that we were all comfortable, and they let us know several times to just ask if there was anything we needed. It was fabulous!

Our family and another family went the Dinner Sleigh Ride when we were in Breckenridge last week…read more We all felt it was "meh". The sleigh ride was nice, but the ride literally went up the same green ski slopes we'd been on earlier in the day (Silverthorne and Lower Sundown), so that wasn't very new or exciting. The food was OK, but not great (a very basic salad, generic mac & cheese, pretty bland "jerk" chicken, beef brisket and some roasted carrots). And it was a self-serve buffet, including getting your own napkins, utensils and drinks from coolers. We also cleared our own plates at the end of the meal. The Cash Bar only offered canned Coors beer or shots of fireballs - no other beers, no wine, no other liquor. (Had we known this, we would have brought our own!) The live entertainment was 1 guy playing a guitar in the back. ... The best part was getting back in the sleigh at the end of dinner as the sun was going down over the mountains - that was beautiful! ... Overall, it was fine and we have some fun photos. But if you are thinking of going, I'd just do the sleighride and skip the Dinner. The food and dining experience definitely wasn't worth the extra $50 per person.

I was genuinely excited for a sleigh ride experience at Breckenridge Stables, but what I…read moreencountered instead was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had--especially shocking for a hospitality business. I paid $403 for five people for an 8:30 PM sleigh ride. Due to snow and ice on the mountain, our car began having trouble and we needed to return to Denver earlier than planned for repairs. I tried calling the business nine times and emailed four times throughout the day with no response. When I finally reached Brad, the manager of 25 years, he was immediately dismissive and said there were no refunds and no flexibility. Later, he told me we could take a 4:00 PM slot from another family who wanted to cancel. I agreed and received confirmation. Here's where it gets unbelievable: the 4:00 PM ride costs $268.75, far less than what I paid. When I politely asked if the price difference would be refunded, Brad refused and told me: * He shouldn't have allowed the switch * I needed to "get my attitude in check" * I wasn't welcome and shouldn't show up * He would cancel my reservation with no refund Meanwhile, the other family got the more expensive ride at the cheaper price, meaning I was paying the difference for someone else. Brad hung up on me twice, threatened to cancel my reservation repeatedly, and ultimately said he'd refund me only so he wouldn't have to deal with me and didn't want me coming to the business. I work in hospitality. I understand policies. But I also understand professionalism--and this was completely lacking. Weather-related safety concerns, zero communication, hostile behavior, and threats toward a paying customer are unacceptable. If you value respectful treatment, fairness, and basic decency, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
