The rides are a mix of adventure, relaxation and quiet for the ultimate horse experience in the mountains including wildlife sightings, singing birds, lush green Aspen glades with their quaking leaves and blankets of wildflowers under blue, blue Vail skies. The horses are gentle, yet perky. The guides are knowledgable and quiet, yet engaged.

But it could change next year!

If horseback riding isn’t on your, Little Buckaroo’s playlist, they still find ways to be occupied in the play area or feed treats to the horses while you chill at our saloon with cold beer, wine and mixed drinks from local craft brewers and distilleries. Plenty of snacks and drinks for kiddos too. Don’t forget! Goat Yoga allows kids 8yrs+ to enjoy a class.
