Beautiful ride near Bryce canyon - The horses were quiet/well-behaved, and everyone was very nice. It did state that thus was NOT a ride for beginners, but we had at least one person who had never ridden. The guides did not keep the group tight (which was fine with me), but it was a little intimidating for the beginner (as her horse would trot to catch up). My only "complaint" was that because we were so spread out (and told not to change position) only the first and last riders could hear anything that the guides said about the park or local history...

Fantastic trail ride in Bryce Canyon - Kevin was fantastic. Explained a lot of things and gave us History lesson (s) don’t lose this guy. Group of 6 was just right. I really enjoyed the 1/2 day ride. Was well worth it

Don’t miss this ride! - We rode the Thunder Mountain 4 hour ride today. Our guide Jeff was the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The horses were healthy, fit, and well behaved. And I am an equine veterinarian and experienced rider. The views were amazing and the trail excellent. Some technical trail so not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Walking trail ride thru rocky canyon floor. - Great views throughout the trip. Im not sure if the people in the rear heard that many comments from the guide. All walking on this trip due to the terrain conditions in the canyon. Not safe to trot or canter.

Beautiful Canyon Ride - My family and I had a wonderful excursion with Denise, our guide, and the rest of the staff at Ruby’s. This was the first time on a horse in 12 years and I was glad the terrain was easy. The sights were great and Denise’s knowledge of the region with little quick facts thrown in made the ride more enjoyable. The 3 1/2 hour tour was certainly long enough for me and mine. I recommend.

Horseback - Scenery was beautiful, but guide was not very knowledgeable in the area. Did not like how she isolated her conversation to one rider.

Halfway Break Highly Recommended - Easy ride, nice horses except for the one very mareish mare, wranglers were amazing. I would suggest for future rides the wranglers do what other 3 hr ride outfitters do - give a 5 minute break at the halfway point so riders can dismount and hydrate. While I understand the idea behind having saddlebags to hold water bottles, the provided saddlebags were hard to access during the ride making hydrating difficult. A five minute break would have made the ride much more enjoyable and would have eliminated the resulting heat related issue that followed.
