Vacation trail rides is my son and my favorite thing to do. A few of the most important things I…read morelook for are healthy horses, happy horses and safe guides. I'm relying on them to keep my son safe. I enjoyed Big Horn. Luckily this is a location (mother in law lives close by) that I frequent so we will definitely be back. We opted for the s'mores before the ride. Great thought but terrible decision. This should be after the ride.Both my son and I had a terrible stomach ache during most of our ride. Only outhouses available. We powered through because there were 2 other people in our group and we won't be party poopers (pun intended.) If I remember correctly, this is inside a park. Budget 30 extra minutes (+ the 30 min early check in) because the line to pay to get into the park can be really long. Hopefully the horse ride and the front check in people are able to talk soon so reservations are allowed to enter for free with your service receipt. Overall, besides the tummy ache, we had a great time.

However I wish our guides (Skylar and Stella?) would have been more informative and interactive. We informed them we are beginner riders, 4 out of the 6 of us had never been on a horse and the other two had only been on a horse once many many years ago. I wish they would have told us (before the ride, not as it's happening) what might happen on the ride and how to handle it or how to calm a horse if it gets a little antsy. Over all I would recommend this place, perhaps maybe just ask a million questions before they have you get on and take off.

I came to this barn confidently jumping 1-meter classes, and I left scared to even canter. My…read moreexperience here completely shattered the confidence I once had, and I truly wish I had left sooner. I took lessons for about a year and a half, and while things were great at first--even leasing a horse so I could start jumping again--everything quickly went downhill. The horse I leased was kept in a pasture with aggressive horses that wouldn't let him eat. He became extremely skinny and exhausted. I repeatedly told the owners he needed to be moved, but they ignored me until he was literally skin and bones. Later, he developed a lump right where the girth goes. Again, I told them, and again they ignored me--until it got so bad he needed surgery. If they had bothered to listen at any point, it could have been handled easily. I watched multiple horses come in healthy and happy and leave with behavioral and physical issues. It was heartbreaking. Another major issue, and the reason I ultimately stopped riding here, was the constant problems with billing. The moment I started asking basic questions about what I was being charged for, the owners turned rude and nasty. They even accused me of not paying--until I had to show them the actual receipt because they can't even keep track of their own finances. They constantly told me I owed random amounts of money they couldn't explain and then magically changed the totals later like nothing had happened. They constantly hounded me nonstop about paying on time, yet every time I went in to pay, no one was there. I called, showed up almost daily, and still couldn't find anyone, but they continued to harass me about being "late." Their invoices were so confusing that it was impossible to understand what I was being charged for. And the amount for one lesson a week somehow changed every single month. When I finally decided I was done, my statement said I owed $65. But when I went in, suddenly I owed much more. When I asked for an explanation, the owners immediately came out and started being rude and attacking me, even though they couldn't explain their own system. One of many incidents I will never forget involved a new student in one of our lessons--a girl who was clearly on the spectrum and trying her best. Instead of being supportive, Tara, one of the owners, barged into the arena and interrupted our lesson even though she could have used any other arena. And began openly making fun of her and mocking her in front of everyone. It was cruel, disgusting, and completely unprofessional. That girl never came back, and I don't blame her. I wouldn't be surprised if that experience pushed her away from riding entirely. This place is disgusting and horrible to the horses and to the people. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. And I hope to find a new barn where I am treated with respect and where my skills--and the horses--are truly cared for.
