This is an experience you won't soon forget, and one that anybody can do! What are you waiting for? Booking our reservations was painless. I made a phone call and spoke with Patty, who gave me a few options of times for our ride. We had a group of three-two adults and a teenager. (On the day of the ride, we we met another group of three that joined us.) She gave me instructions on where to go on the day of our ride, and sent them again via text with GPS coordinates so we could easily meet our guide. Mike, our guide, was fantastic. He was friendly, took some time up front to give us a quick orientation and then asked each of us about our horse riding experience so he could match us up with an appropriate horse. He was patient with us, as some of us had very little experience. The trail itself was not all the way flat, but not so challenging that a novice rider would struggle. There are a few areas where we went up hill and then a few where we went down. Mike advised us on proper posture to make it easier on the horse as we navigated some of that hilly terrain. At one point, he recognized that the teen in the group was getting a little frustrated with his horse. He gave him some instruction and then engaged him in conversation about music-something they had in common. I appreciated that Mike was able to include everyone in the group in some way. He's a good dude. After the ride, we were given some carrots to feed our horses. I loved that part! I think the horses appreciated it too. This may not be an activity that we will do every time we visit St. George, but it will definitely be on that we remember forever and bring along some friends to show them the beauty of Snow Canyon from a different perspective.

Absolutely worth every penny, every minute of our time spent on the ranch, and all the seconds over…read morethe phone with Jackson! There is a reason to everything that they tell you, and the process you go through to get to the most rewarding experience with these beautiful horses. If you lack patience, discipline, and are only looking for instant gratification, this experience is not for you. If you're not going to listen, and are not open - this experience is not for you. From the start, Jackson sets the pace for the process. Do NOT come here expecting your hand to be held. You need to hold your own and it's for good cause. This was the most beautiful experience that my family and I could ever have together with such amazing animals. You will be wrecked, because no other place does it like they do at Jacob's Ranch. What Josh, Michelle, and Annika do is so special. Jackson isn't lying when he says it's not a nose to tail experience. Be ready to get down and dirty, to work, and be a leader. We will never forget this experience and I don't recommend it for everyone but I do recommend it to those who are open and willing to learn and reap the rewards. My family and I never worked with horses, never been up this close to horses, and most especially never rode horses like this before. At the end of the day, we could proudly say that we did it! We rode them up and down hills, through narrow trails, trotted through open dessert, while the sun was high in the sky till it was beginning to set for the night. We were on this journey with a couple from SC, who have been on horse rides all over the world and they said they've never been to a place like Jacob's Ranch. Needless to say, at the end of the day- we were all so proud of ourselves and amazed at the adventure we had together!

Instead, he insulted me, saying I "don't know anything because of my age," and bizarrely tried to convince me to read the Quran while speaking poorly about other religions, and political stances, totally unprofessional and inappropriate for a business call. After the call, he rang me back 20 minutes later acting like he didn't remember me and insisted I sit through a 30-minute "discussion" about what the experience entails. Yet every time I said I was ready to hear it, he wouldn't stop with his condescending and abusive remarks. At that point, I realized booking with them wasn't worth the frustration. Based on other reviews, this is clearly a pattern, very odd, avoid at all costs!!

Sunset, S'mores, and Stargazing Jeep Tour- If you only have time for one tour, do this one. You'll hop in a jeep (holds 8 people) and head off-road through Zion Ponderosa Resort to several scenic points. Watch the sunset paint the Zion skyline in golden light, incredible photo ops. Then you're taken to an observatory deck at 7,000 feet where you'll enjoy s'mores, a telescope, and one of the most beautiful night skies imaginable. We saw the Milky Way, constellations, and shooting stars. Perfect for all ages and absolutely unforgettable. The Crimson Canyon tour is a fantastic way to experience one Southern Utah's slot canyon. After a short UTV ride, you'll hike through stunning canyon terrain with several points where you climb rocks and shimmy between narrow passages, it sounds intimidating, but it's actually quite manageable. The hikes are pretty easy for anyone with a reasonable fitness level, and the payoff is incredible views of towering canyon walls and stunning formations.

Note there are only two bathrooms and most folks wanted to use them before we left for our ride to the trail head so you may have to wait a bit to use it! The ranch folks also seem to have breakfast in an adjacent room so there were people coming to and fro. The check in area to get your ticket is easy to find and the staff explain where to go/get picked up etc both there and while driving you out to the trailhead (ie you won't be confused about where to go). They charge $8pp round trip and the roads are HORRENDOUS so definitely if you want to make the hike, I'd use these folks. They have a shuttle service to the cable car area too.

I just called a few random providers and only 3 responded to me, almost completely picking at random, I ended up choosing RPC. Best decision ever. From the first week service started, I was blown away. The service itself was done perfectly, but on top of that, the report he emails us every week to show what has been done is more thorough than I have ever received from any service company or trade. The step-by-step walk through of what they did accompanied by photos of every action they took blows me away. They take more photos of the hot tub during each visit than my cleaning company takes of a full 6-bedroom house after their cleaning. The confidence and reassurance this gives me that my client's hot tub and equipment are in good hands is invaluable to my business. I work with plenty of other service providers and have never received this kind of feedback after each service and as such I have never felt so sure about the service being done. I never take the time to write reviews, Seth and RPC never asked me to, but I've been so impressed, I had to come find out where I could leave a review and do it. In a world where most people only leave a review when their mad, the fact that he has perfect 5-star ratings here says something. If you're looking for a pool or hot tub tech, don't be like me and pick at random, read this and know you don't need to consider any other options. This is it; you found the right guy; you found the right company.

Do the fact I haven't done that and I'm gonna say 40 years it was a little bit of a shocker after driving side-by-side for five hours and then trying to figure out how to put this tent together. But they were great helped us put everything together. Served us a wonderful dinner as we sat around a little fire and all got caught up. Next day we wrote on down to the bar 10 ranch and got some time just kinda relax and take a wonderful shower. The people at Barton couldn't be nicer. The whole staff is absolutely wonderful. Helpful treat you like royalty. Although going to the campsite and coming back down the mountain, you have a little bit of driving on the edge of cliffs. The real adventurous Day was day three when we went out to an old abandoned Copper Mine. I will say there's a lot of driving on the edge, it is not for the faint of heart. It is a true adventure. But the sites and the time are just amazing. Jamel, Skyler and Sindy were wonderful tour guides and kept us safe. One of the other wonderful things is being away from everything having no Internet no real cell reception. It was such a wonderful thing to unplug. Just being off grid.

I begged my mom for lessons growing up, but she couldn't afford them. However, she signed me up for a couple of trail rides and they're a core memory. Two decades later and my affinity for horses hasn't wavered, mostly because I moved to Saint George--a town where I'm surrounded by these gentle giants in every direction I go. Naturally, my 5-year-old daughter loves horses too and wanted to take lessons. I took her to a different facility that showed a bunch of red flags, so we didn't go back there. Then, I found Shauna at Haskell Riding Academy and instantly clicked with her when we met. What started as an inquiry for my daughter ended up with me taking lessons instead. I started riding with Shauna two months ago and it has quickly become my favorite form of therapy. My stress instantly turns to stillness at the stable gates. Anyone can benefit from being in the presence of these sensitive souls--they're very healing beings. I highly recommend getting lessons with Shauna. Learning a new skill as an adult can be intimidating, but she's very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate how particular she is about doing things. She'll always explain why she does it a certain way, and it always makes perfect sense. There's a reason her horses age gracefully, like Tag who I've been riding. He's in such great shape, I would have never guessed he's 29! Also, some of her horses have blue eyes/pink skin and they wear protective masks to reduce their risk of cancer. These are just a couple testaments to how much she loves and cares for her horses. Here's a photo of me and my daughter, Shauna let her join me at the end of my lesson. It was such a nice surprise, my daughter loved it. I'm looking forward to growing as a rider and can't wait for my daughter to start riding when she's a bit older. I know she'll be in good hands with Shauna!
