At Vail Stables we like to enjoy the Cowboy Life- with a twist!

The Crooked Cow Saloon is stocked with cold beer and wine. We have the Happiest Hour in Town when the goats are available to socialize with the patrons as we pour drinks and play good music between 3:30 and 5:30pm.

For those that just want to sit back and relax in the shade while others ride, because after all, you are on vacation, do it in a hammock while soaking up our outstanding views with an adult beverage, we offer frosty cold beer, wine, mixed-drinks or non-alcoholic beverage at the Crooked Cow Saloon.

We offer super-special pricing on select varieties of beer and wine. The beer garden with a view is enormous, including shady spots, sunny areas, picnic tables, home-built pallet furniture (lower your expectations Pinterest fans), hammocks, social areas, and cozy, private zones. We have free games available for play such as corn hole, washers and cards. Parking available everyday.

What?! No horseback riding for the kids under 5 years old? We do have pony rides!!

(Frankly, they kept showing up with parents.)

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.
