Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed this ride. Great guides and horses and beautiful secluded scenery. Was very easy to book online via e-mail and we will do this again next time we visit. More

We had such a fun time on this horseback ride through the red rock wilderness. The horses were well trained. The ride was fantastic, not only because of the beauty of the area, but because Sena would let you ride them all over the area- not your typical trail ride. Once she was comfortable with everyone's ablilty, we could trot... More

The owners are great. The ride was a unique experience. It was not your usual nose to tail ride, but still appropiate for beginners. The views were unique. I would do this again! You rode great horses, you can have a mule, but it is your choice. It was the highlight of our trip to Moab. More

This place is well off the beaten path and somewhat under the tourist radar, which makes it the perfect adventure for a traveler who wants to experience the "real thing". Yes, your ride will be guided, but there won't be any nose-to-tail, single file plodding along. This ranch is adjacent to a lot of open country, and your group will... More

Sena, John and the horses are simply great. It was a wonderful experience to lop trough Onion Creek and the surroundings of the ranch. Phantastic ride for beginners as well as for advanced riders. Go to Back County Mules and not to one of the other ranches (rides are more expensive, slow and boring there!) More

Sheena & John were excellent hosts and the trip was unbeatable both in terms of value and scenery. Our group was 5 in total, and Sheena gave us the freedom to pretty much go at our own pace. We felt completely at ease and were well off the beaten track. There was a bit of everything in the 3 hour-ride,... More

Sena, John and Lori were great. The riding was fantastic. It is not a nose to tail ride, but as if you joined your neighbors to enjoy a scenic ride through beautiful country. They are good folks. My son (19) and I joined Sena, John and Lori for a sunset ride. They were very encouraging as well as instructive on... More

When planning our trip to Moab for the week of July 4th, my family of four wanted to make sure to include a horseback riding tour as one of our many activities. Having done a few commercial rides in the past which always seemed to result in a large group of riders being led nose-to-tail by a couple of guides,... More
