    Horses were saddled and ready to mount for the first scheduled appointment of the day. It was well…read morethought out and matched horses for riders ability and ages. Our family of 6 went. We had two wranglers looking out for our group. That was perfect. One was in lead, one was last horse. I felt it was very professionally ran. The horses were in great shape despite the hot weather. The equipment was in good shape. We always felt we were in a controlled, knowledgeable environment. After hour ride they helped everyone individually dismount and led horse to water. It's a cute set-up and barn and stables were very nice. PS It was my 70th grandma birthday party starting there before the village. They made it fun and extra special.

    As a surprise for my husband's birthday, I gifted him a 60 minute trail ride. When we left our…read morehouse this afternoon (in Layton) it was sunny and warm, but the weather quickly changed while we were on our way to SLC. By the time we got to the barn, the rain had stopped and the weather was perfect. We were happy to have cloud coverage during our ride. When we entered the barn, we signed some waivers and then we went around the side of the barn to be given a horse. They make sure you and the horse will be a good fit (horses have different personalities just like people). Mine was notorious for stopping and snacking (did they give me my spirit animal?), but he was such a sweetheart on the trail. He listened when I pulled his reins and was such a good horse. While we were riding the trail, we saw so many deer. I don't think I've seen so many deer in one sitting. The horses can get spooked by the deer, but luckily no one got spooked. Right as we got to the top of the hill, the storm behind us caught up. At first it was sprinkling...no big deal. Some of the horses didn't like rain in their faces, so they'd turn to the side. We just had to pull their reins a little to keep them going. As we started to slightly descend, my husband's horse was NOT having it. It wasn't too happy about the rain and didn't want to keep going. The trail guides were great with talking him through how to get her calmed down and moving again (not that she was acting crazy or anything, she just wasn't having the rain and didn't want to listen). The rain only got worse. It started coming down so hard that it was stinging my ears. At this point we all had to stop and have our horses face away from the rain because a lot of the horses didn't want to move. We stood there for a few minutes until more help arrived. The guides hopped off of their horses and helped those who needed some extra help with their horses. My husband's was definitely one of them (we call her Diva now). The rain calmed down once we were close to the end of the trail ride. Once we made it back to the barn, the trail guides helped us off our horses and then we headed home. We were absolutely drenched and had to use the heater on our way home. We were so drenched that we were pouring water out of our shoes when we took them off. It was absolutely crazy and never rains that much usually, but I swear my husband and I bring the rain everywhere we go. We seriously had such a great time, even while getting rained on! We would definitely do this trail ride again. It was a fantastic experience that we'll never forget.

    My Experience with KB Horses…read more I chose KB Horses because I wanted to enjoy a guided trail ride, and I understood before participating that horseback riding involves inherent risks. I did not expect a risk-free experience. My concern is not simply that I fell--it's how the situation unfolded and how it was handled afterward. Before the ride began, the wrangler assigned me a horse named Breezy. I recall being told that Breezy had a "waddle" and that I should let her know if I noticed the saddle shifting. Because of that conversation, I paid close attention throughout the ride. Near the end of the ride, as we approached a steep downhill section of the trail, I felt the saddle begin slipping sideways. Remembering what I had been told, I immediately called out to the wrangler that my saddle was slipping. She turned around and came back toward me, but before she could reach me, the saddle shifted farther toward the downhill side and I fell directly onto my right hip. After the fall, the wrangler repositioned and tightened the saddle before asking me to remount for the short ride back to the stable. I told her my hip hurt, but at that point I believed I had only suffered a bruise. Over the next two days, the pain and bruising became much worse. Medical evaluation ultimately revealed injuries that required MRIs, injections, and months of treatment. I incurred approximately $3,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses. Two days after the accident, Brenda from KB Horses contacted me to check on how I was doing. She thanked me for my feedback, told me she had reviewed my comments with her staff "to make sure everyone is following proper protocol," and said she wanted to ensure "the situation does not occur again." I appreciated that outreach and believed my concerns were being taken seriously. As time went on, however, I became disappointed by the company's response. The written description of the incident that was later provided on the company's behalf differs from my recollection of what happened during the ride. I also requested the incident report that the company and its attorney relied upon when responding to my claim, but it was not voluntarily provided to me. I recognize that horses are animals and that falls can happen even when everyone is doing their best. My purpose in sharing this experience is not to suggest that horseback riding can ever be made risk-free. Rather, I believe prospective riders--especially beginners or those with limited riding experience--should ask how saddles are checked during a ride, what procedures guides follow if a rider reports that a saddle is slipping, and what additional precautions are taken before steep downhill sections. I'm sharing my experience so that others can make an informed decision before booking a ride.

    10/10 experience here. My boyfriend and I have gone horseback riding in a few different places as…read morewe enjoy traveling but this by far has been the most informative and professional experience. You can genuinely tell they care for their horses deeply. We had Meghan as our guide and she was amazing. We did an exercise before starting the trail to grow trust between us and the horses which I appreciated. I had Kahlua, such a sweet girl who loved her head scratches. If you're looking for a fun, intimate experience, definitely book here! Carrie helped us book and was also incredibly kind. Thank you Meghan and Carrie for a great experience! (:
