Went to KB with my wife and 2 kids - 7 and 12. Had a blast and will go back. They were so nice and educated. They take care of their horses and it shows. Compliments to Lucas and Sammy. We went on a trail for an hour. And got a lesson beforehand. Lucas and Samny were terrific and great with us every step of the way. read more

We were skiing in Park City for a few days and decided we wanted to venture out. I called 3 places to see if we could horse ride and found out not a lot of horses in Park city in the winter. I called KB and Carrie said we could go on a trail ride. it is about 30 mins from Park City and was an easy Uber ride. It was cold, but the trail was so beautiful and the horses were clearly well taken care of. I would highly recommend their trail ride and I would for sure come back and ride again when we are in town. read more

KB Horses - Horse Boarding Near Me - Heber City, Utah

See all

This was hands down the best horseback riding venue that we have ever experienced. From booking the reservation to dismounting, this far exceeded our expectations. The two guides were extremely knowledgeable and gave us a great orientation before we started on the trail. This was important because you were actually able to ride, you didn't just follow nose to tail. The horses were very well cared for and the stables were immaculate. The owner was onsite and catered to all of the guests. I would recommend this to anyone and would certainly return. read more

This was the finest horse back riding experience ever. The staff was outstanding, especially Haley. The horses were perfect for our skill levels. The facility is really nice. And so are the dogs! Care and safety are emphasized but in no way detract from the fun. XCELLEN read more

We had the most amazing experience at KB Horses. We had no prior experience riding horses before coming here, and we felt right at home. Brenda matched us with the perfect horses for our height and weight, and Mariah gave us a brief lesson before taking us on a great trail walk with our horses. The best thing about this place: they care deeply about their horses. The horses are well-socialized and happy. Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

We took our family of 6 for a ride over spring break, and we absolutely LOVED it! Our kids can't stop talking about how much fun they had. All of the employees were incredibly nice and knowledgeable about their horses. They all seemed to truly love what they do. They were very accommodating of the needs of our younger children. Even my husband, who isn't a huge fan of horses, had a great time and said he would enjoy going back. Thank you KB Horses for helping to make our daughter's birthday memorable! read more

Last time I was on a trail ride was probably 35 years ago or more. This was an awesome experience. Our guide talked to us to get to know us, explained the company, went over the releases, and told us about each of our horses before we met them. She explained their philosophy on horses and trail riding. I don't remember ever hearing any of that as a kid when we did trail rides. They wouldn't let us mount the horses until we earned the horses trust which I thought was pretty cool. We mounted in an arena and learned the basics...even an "emergency step" move. The horses were wonderful and well behaved. The views were amazing. After the ride we met Brenda and chatted for awhile. There were 5 of us our group and we had 2 guides. So all our questions were answered. I was very impressed and would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice trail ride. read more

We had Mariah as our guide and she was so amazing!! We felt so safe and having the dogs come with us was so much fun. They take such good care of their horses and they know every detail about each and every one. If you are in this area you've gotta come here!! Best part of our trip for sure. I loved how they gave us really good training so that we knew how to control them. I cannot stress enough how awesome it was!!!! read more

It's rare to meet someone with such a passion for their job who does it so well. Brenda, the owner, took such great care of my whole family making sure we were all safe and enjoying the ride. Her horses were so sweet and such a pleasure to ride. The views were amazing and it was such a great experience all around. If you've never rode a horse before you need to go here for your first time. read more

We had the most amazing horseback riding experience with KB. This is not your usual nose to tail operation. (As experienced riders, we wanted a "real" ride.) The owner gets to know each rider and selects a well-matched horse based on experience and personality. Hailey was our guide and made sure we had a fabulous day. We rode through varied terrain and enjoyed beautiful views. Hailey even took pictures throughout so we could really focus on enjoying each other and the horses. If we had more time, we would have gone for another, longer ride. Next time we are there, we definitely will! read more

Wonderful time with the horses. Friendly staff, well training horses and a beautiful view, couldn't ask for more

For one of my senior daughter's graduation gift (I have twins), she wanted to go horseback riding. She's had a love for horses since elementary school when she road and competed for three years. She wanted to ride where she could ride nice trails on good horses and go somewhere we hadn't been to before. KB Horses was the perfect fit. The staff was great! They were very friendly/entertaining/engaging before, during and after the ride. The horses were a perfect fit for our riding abilities (my daughter's is different than mine). The trails were great, but we went off trail too which was fun. The mountain views were spectacular. We saw a few deer/buck along our ride. We liked it so much, we rode two different days, first day two hours, second day three hours. It will be one of the best memories I will have of my time with my daughter before she heads off to college! read more

Did not actually have the chance to trail ride but leaving this review for some great customer service. We had booked for a large group (bachelorette party) and did not end up working out due to some issues on our part. Brenda was so understanding and accommodating. Will be sure to come back to check it out and trail ride at a later date! read more

Top Notch riding experience. Alex, our cowboy wrangler, did a great job of learning our skill levels as well as our wishes. He was also fun to be with - sang cowboy songs for us and his 'story' was an engaging tale. He's really done a lot in his young life, a remarkable young man. Our horses, Cognac and Majic, were great choices for us. We rode up the rocky slopes, down through some washes and through areas of trees, sagebrush and prickly pear cactus above developing land and a golf course all the while surrounded by majestic snow capped mountains. Really nice views. We'll be a bit saddle sore tomorrow, I'm sure. All of my interactions with the owner, Brenda, were pleasant, professional and helpful. I can understand how riders who don't use good sense or don't follow instructions might endanger themselves, others and/or the horse stock. In such instances, the owners and wranglers must ensure safety for all at the cost of egos. We will definitely use KB Stables as our choice for our equestrian outings. read more

Awesome experience trail riding with my two teenagers. Brenda, the owner, couldn't have been nicer. The staff is very professional - they will create the ride according to your level of expertise. Shannon, our guide, was very knowledgeable. It was one of the highlights of our Utah vacation. I highly recommend this ranch! Then go to Dairy Keen for ice cream! read more

Me and my sisters took a spontaneous trip, and decided to go horseback riding. After calling several places, we chose this one. From the beginning, everything was great! Hayley, our instructor/guide was so nice, and did an incredible job of explaining everything, including our horses personalities. We had a quick thunderstorm come through, and they patiently waited for it to pass before taking us up the ridge. This place clearly cares about the horses and customers and it's more about the experience than making money for them. Their horses are all adorable, and we couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

A late Birthday surprise for my wife. FANTASTIC! Bren and team were so wonderful. The horses are gentle. The dogs are so entertaining. The views are spectacular. We rented for just an hour and loved it. The ride was a full hour. Thorough training added 20 minutes to the front end. A really great experience with even better hosts! read more

KB Horses - Out on the range! - Horse Boarding Near Me - Heber City, Utah

Brenda and her crew will take good care of you. A memorable experience, guaranteed.

I took my husband on a surprise trip to ride horses to this beautiful place! It far exceeded my expectations. We had the best experience at KB Horses. They were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We experienced some sudden change of bad weather..they immediately pulled us off the mountain, waited it out, and sent us back out! Our guide was great. Shannon was informative the entire time.. made jokes.. and made sure we were always doing okay. I loved that this place is all about personal rides. We were not part of some big group, which I was expecting. To find out it was just my husband and I was fantastic! The horses... were incredible. They are beautiful horses, well trained, and incredibly friendly. We felt safe, confident, and in good hands. This company is all about the customer's experience, they aren't in this to make money. Of the several places around I researched, they were the best priced! Fantastic experience.. I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Took a family vacation to Park City last week. When asking around about horseback riding, KB Horses came highly recommended so we booked our trail ride. Our guide, Sami was warm, knowledgeable & experienced. We immediately felt great being introduced to our horses and building some confidence with them before just hopping on. They own their horses and know them well, which we love! Our tween son got sassy we cancelled his and my husband's rides the day of, too late to get a refund, but consequences are consequences! The owner was so kind about it and respected our situation even offering those two rides to us on a another day of our trip. Though we could not make it back to the ranch we really appreciated her kindness and effort on a hard day. Bathrooms are above & beyond clean & nice! Trail was beautiful and my daughter and I had the best time & learned a lot. All were very kind and we plan to visit KB horses again for a winter ride in the snow. We highly recommend! read more

This is undeniably a life enriching experience and not just a horseback ride. As novices, we began with a brief introduction to our carefully chosen horses, followed by a concise lesson in the basics of riding and respecting our horses. Sherry Lynn and Jen, our watchful guides, then led us, at a leisurely pace, over foothills of sagebrush with scrub oak and juniper and stunning views of the Wasatch Range in the distance. We were given just the right amount of independence on the way back, returning in two hours. I felt an unanticipated sense of the unique relationship between a horse and rider and (in my case) a true affection for these formidable creatures. (especially Jack). Meeting the owner, Brenda, who takes justifiable pride in having the best horses, the best guides, and the best dogs in the business was an added treat. We definitely hope to return. read more

I surprised my partner with a 2 hour ride when visiting the area. Everything was great from the first call with Brenda. She was very thorough in answering my questions and sending a confirmation email with all the details I should know for the ride. I chose KB because you wouldn't be going out in a group ride with a ton of other people, rather just you and the guide. Prior to our ride our guide, Shannon, took time before to introduce us to our horses, talk about their personalities a bit, along with what to expect from them, then re-acquainted us with commands. The ride itself was beautiful and Shannon was really knowledgeable about the area and its history. We would happily come back to ride with them again! read more

KB horses were fantastic! Not only was the ride itself beautiful, but the staff was amazing. They clearly care for their horses incredibly well, and know each of their personalities to match the riders with the right horse for their level. They also take a significant amount of time to make sure each rider feels comfortable and in control before going out on the trail (without taking away from the time of the trail ride!) Everyone was kind, friendly, and helpful. And the horse I rode (Deedee!) was the absolute sweetest. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, no matter your level. Thank you, KB! read more

This was the best horse riding experience ever! My kids loved it so much. Thank you for the wonderful service!

Simply amazing. I've done most of the horseback riding options up and down Utah and can say this was such a great experience. With them owning the horses and knowing their quirks is great so they can pair the right horse to the person. I've never been to a place that had you lead the horse into the arena and for you to pick up one of their hooves to build a rapport. Top notch staff and amazing experience, they also have someone walk with a horse if you have a child with you. Such an amazing experience and cannot recommend them enough. Will be the only location I go horseback riding in Utah. read more

I highly recommend KB Horses. I recently took my 10 year old daughter to them for a one hour trail ride. The guide was not only very courteous and experienced, but also very compassionate. When my daughter started exhibiting signs of distress (she was scared) our guide stopped and first told a nice story of the history of the area, then took time to reassure my daughter while checking out the saddle/adjustments. We are absolute beginners and the instructions were brief and to the point. We will be back!! read more

We went for a ride today with John as our guide. Very personable, professional and knowledgeable of the horses, the area and local history. I rode Hana, a former police patrol horse 13 yr old with a strong but very gentle personality. My wife rode Rio, an 8 yr old American Paint. Both of these horses were very well trained, gentle and patient with our beginner horse skills. We were accompanied on the trail with Blue and Cass. Two of the dogs they have at the ranch. Great dogs who love getting out in the trail with the horses. This is not a ride where the horses only stay on the trail. If you want to go off trail it is encouraged and the horses are very willing to go where you direct them. The pre ride training we received was spot on and the horses responded perfectly. I never thought I could actually halt my horse and then get it to walk backwards. I felt like an experienced rider. We will definitely be back to KB and hope we can ride with John again. read more

I sent feedback to the owner because I didn't want to leave negative reviews. Since she never replied, I assume she doesn't care, so I'm warning the world that I wouldn't even give KB 1 star. Here is my experience: No one had fun. My 4 kids were afraid to speak or do anything that might get them yelled at. When my oldest were 6 and 8, we rode horses in Logan. They beamed for weeks after that experience and it lifted their confidence; they felt like they could conquer the world. Contrast that with our experience at KB: as we were driving away, our youngest (11) started to cry. He was embarrassed and felt incompetent. He was ponied (which meant he sat on a horse but was pulled with a lead rope) for the entire duration. Brenda charges extra for this which we only found out about AFTER her no-cancelation period. Her justification was that my youngest couldn't keep the horse from eating on the trail (though she hardly gave him a chance!) Training her horses should not be a guest's responsibility. I paid $100 for my son to ride a horse (and the pony fee is added to that!). For the experience he got, I could have put him on a $10 carnival animal. At one point my son's horse and Brenda's (who was leading him) got tied up. She threw the reins at my son and yelled at him. My husband and I both wanted to tell her not to talk to our son the way she did. Brenda continued to yell at him and make impossible demands that he move his horse to one direction, while she was pulling on the horse in the opposite direction. She repeatedly made him feel inadequate, insignificant, and ashamed. I tried to keep the environment positive and light and Brenda had NO sense of humor. She frequently chastised me for joking. After we left, my kids expressed their relief that it was over. She advertises that it isn't a nose-to-tail ride. It is!! Brenda will yell at you to not stay in a line. Then she will yell at you for getting out of line. Her horses are stubborn and just do their own thing. We regret not riding with another company. The scenery itself was disappointing. We toured ugly construction development, the golf course and dry shrubs. My husband said he wanted to leave the moment we arrived and he got yelled at for petting their dogs (even though they jumped in our car)! We found the entire experience to be hostile, upsetting, and uncomfortable. Website says they want to create a ride that guests will remember until the day they die. It never occurred to me in advance that the memory would be a bad one. I'm not sure my kids will ever want to ride a horse again. Totally expensive misery! read more

Great experience, definitely would recommend it. They math you with a horse based on experience and give you a little lesson before going on the trail which a lot of places do not provide. Staff was very friendly as well! read more

My husband and I took a series of horse 101 courses with Brenda and had a wonderful experience. Her training is well structured and a nice blend of hands on training combined with text book training. We came into her course not knowing much and left with enough knowledge that we felt comfortable enough to begin shopping for our personal pleasure riding horses. A few days ago my husband had the opportunity to use the emergency training Brenda taught us in our horse 101 course and because of Brenda's training he avoided serious injury. Here's what happened and how Brenda's training helped my husband: We were at a ranch (out of state) to check out a specific 16 hand blue roan for my husband. This horse was advertised as a low key, well trained horse that did not spook easily. The owner rode the horse around the ring a few times and the horse seemed to be everything that was advertised. Calm, responsive and a nice beginner horse. My husband then began riding the horse. Everything was working out just fine. Then some lawn equipment turned on at the property behind the ring. That spooked this big boy and the horse started an uncontrollable lope around the ring with my husband on his back. The owner of the horse panicked and started yelling conflicting instructions to my husband on how to get the horse to stop (i.e. "Don't pull back on the reins!" then a few seconds later "Pull back on the reins!) . The owner either did not know what to do or was so scared that she froze. As the owner continued to shout these conflicting commands my husband thought about Brenda's training. He then began doing what Brenda had instructed us on. It worked beautifully and got the horse to calm down and stop. All the while the horse owner was yelling at my husband to stop doing the very thing that worked. .. argh! If you are newer to horses and want to learn how to keep yourself and your horse safe I highly recommend taking the horse 101 course with Brenda. It is worth your time and worth your money to be sure you and your horse are safe. We are very grateful for Brenda and her transfer of knowledge to us! read more

Early in the summer my wife and I had a chance to go riding with KB on a company picnic. We had a great time, and decided that it would be fun to grab the whole family in the fall and go for a ride. My wife has had back issues and the staff there spent the extra time to make sure her saddle was setup correctly and she was comfortable and secure. Brenda ( I think she is the owner) was somewhat of a stern guide, which I actually appreciated. Having grown up around horses and been bitten, stepped on and kicked I know how dangerous these animals can be. So after our summer ride we contacted them again in the fall to do another ride with 3 riders who had experience and 5 that had no experience at all. The week we picked was rainy and cold, so we moved it to the next week at Brenda's suggestion. She said she wanted us to have a great experience and that the horses can be a little spooky when it's wet and that we would all probably be miserable. I was glad she was flexible and didn't "hold" us to the appointment. The next week was beautiful and we all headed up to go on our adventure. We got there and they were all ready for us. We took our 7 year old granddaughter and they had a staff member work specifically with her. Her horse was led by this guide and paid special attention to her, and she had a blast. After we got through all the paperwork we all walked the horses we were assigned to the corral to get saddled up and get some instruction. Having more riders with no experience Brenda took the time to make sure everyone knew how to stop, turn, backup and "emergency stop". Several of those in my party were laughing and talking while Brenda was trying to explain some important skills that would be required on the ride, and she got everyone's attention real quick. Some would call it rude or abrupt or even uncalled for, but I just smiled. As an assistant instructor in scuba diving I worked with instructors that demanded your attention and made you master the skills you needed. Some of them weren't popular with some of the "sensitive" students, but when you were done you were a great diver. And I would think that is the case with KB, they take your safety and YOUR education seriously. After everyone had demonstrated the skills they needed we were off! We rode up the hillside, around the golf course, through some places where construction was going on and ended up on a rock cliff overlooking the whole valley. We stopped and had a drink of water and took some pictures. Very beautiful. On the way back some of the horses decided to kick up a little, and everyone handled it with no problems. My horse decided to jump when the horse behind me kicked up, but not enough to cause any problems. These horses are not worn out old nags, they still have fire and personality. I was warned that my horse liked to bite other horses if they got too close, and I experienced that first hand. When we got back everyone was smiles and excitement about the experience. My granddaughter was over the moon and now wants to go back for a much longer ride and can't wait til she can ride it without a guide. One of my daughters has asthma and the dust got to her a bit, but even though she was coughing and wheezing she thought it was worth it. We plan on going up a couple of times next year, and probably make it a family annual event. My brother and his daughter went with us and they had a blast. The fall colors were beautiful and the view is amazing. I would ride with them anytime. If you go up and pay attention in the beginning you will actually learn something and not get in trouble. Loved it!!!! read more

Professionals to be sure. Brenda was thoughtful about how our family could ride as we were all beginners and had our 3 year old. Brenda had us pay extra for a handler to walk our 3 year old. That was brilliant. We live in San Francisco, have lived in Chicago and NYC so we are certainly not experienced with horses. Our guide was barking at us a lot and seemed annoyed. When I mentioned my horse seemed to be lively she barked back " Well he is an animal". I know nothing about horses so I just wanted reassurance he wasn't having a bad day and was going to take it out on me while we were on the trail. I asked for a helmet after I saw how my horse was pushing limits and being grumpy and she blew me off. She was barking at my daughter as she was nervous. We are total beginners and when you see a horse with these giant muscles and realize the horse could do whatever he wants, it can be intimidating. Hard to say if the woman is always like this as we saw her one day. The other staff was friendly and helpful. They had a woman named Emily and a young man named Andrew ...both very sweet and helpful in a respectful manner. Our guide just seemed annoyed and bothered. We have never been to another ranch so no idea how they compare. Would have been nice to have a guide who did not bark so much and seem so annoyed but we still had a great time and learned a lot. read more

These horses are the best dude and lesson horses I have ever seen, and I have worked for another dude string and taught riding lessons. They were happy and well cared for. The owner hand selects them for their jobs. Great views and fun rides. read more

Really enjoyed my ride with KB Horses. We went as a sales department for an offsite activity and had a great time riding the amazing horses and seeing the beauty of Heber. Brenda and her team really care for and love the horses they house. Their knowledge of horses and how they think made it an intellectual experience as you learn the psychology behind horseback riding. Would definitely do it again. read more

The very best we've ever experienced. They truly care for their customers, the experience, and maybe most importantly, their horses. We've been on many rides, none compared to KB Horses. Brenda and Sharron and really special people. read more

I went horse back riding with my niece who is 11 years old with KB horses staff this past week and it was amazing. The best trail ride I have ever done, the ride was so relaxing. KB horses doesn't do "tail to nose" riding, you get to ride much more relaxed and you are able to take the views in while enjoying yourself. My niece thought it was so neat, she loved the confidence it gave her by riding her horse, Blackjack. I hope to visit these stables again soon, and love knowing that I am supporting a local community member and helping horses keep their "spirit". You can tell Bren's horses are well taken care of and are treated with respect. read more

KB Horses is a place I highly recommend for anyone that would like an amazing experience for horse riding. This is not your typical nose-to-tail type of horse riding experience, which is why I chose this place. They let you walk next to each other, or take a small side trail as long as you're able to be seen by the wrangler. I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know the owner, Brenda. She knows and loves every single one of her horses, and will be happy to tell you about all of them! She will teach you what you need to do to gain trust with your horse, before you even get on their back. We had mostly beginner riders, and even one with zero experience, but they make sure you know how to control your horse, and are comfortable before you take off for the trail. The ride was beautiful. The wranglers were wonderful, and we loved having them take us on our ride! I will be back, again and again. I have found my place to ride :D read more

I had never been on a horse before I went to KB Horses. The wranglers were conscious of this fact when they chose a horse that would be a good fit for my lack of experience. Because of their care and attention to detail I was able to have an amazing trail ride. I felt safe the entire ride and enjoyed every minute of it. The wranglers at KB Horses were also very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and look forward to going on another trail ride with them. read more
