My husband and I took the two hour horseback ride up the mountain - my hubs has never ridden before and I have minimal experience. The guides were very knowledgable about the horses and the terrain, helping us to have a GREAT time. Beautiful scenary and just a little bit of difficult terrain made this is a very memorable experience. More

Took their 2-hour ride into Roosevelt State Forest. The views were wonderful and the ride relaxing. The wranglers are friendly, offering interesting informational comments as we rode. Very accommodating group--careful to choose the right horse for the right person. We were nervous because some of our friends had no experience riding a horse, but they did just fine. More

This was my first and probably last time on a horse. "Big Jake" was his name and I would personally like to thank him for carrying my 15 stone (210 pounds) up a mountain and down again for two hours. The staff at Cowpoke were most helpful and re assuring especially as I had never ridden before. Yes I am... More

I haven't been on a horse in 40 years and my companion had never ridden. We were placed in a group with a family with 4 young children, and only the mother had any riding experience. The youngest rider in our group was five years old, the oldest was 64. None of this mattered as the staff are excellent -... More

Our entire experience Cowpoke Corner Corral on 10/1/11 was nothing more than Excellent!!!

Discovering activities that will please both daughters can definitely... More

We recently went on a horse back ride and all I can say is...WOW!!! Our leader Julie was amazing along with the view!!!!! She was very friendly and made us feel right at home. She took very good care of us, especially since I myself was a fairly new to riding. She taught me some things I never knew about... More

Had a great 3 hour trail ride. Our guide was quite experienced and friendly...the horses were well taken care of and the weather cooperated. Beautiful views. They need a bigger, more visable sign for the entrance! More

We are all first-time horse riders. Two family members got horses who needed no direction, were gentle, perfect. The other two family members got "ornery" horses who presented challenges for the riders. Not such an issue for the parent, but not a great experience for the kid who was having his very first riding experience. Better matching of the horse... More

My college gal pal and I (both in our early 50's) had an awesome 2 hr ride on the Cowpoke Corral trails up the side of the mountain on Scout and Prince Charming. The trails were slightly challenging but the horses were quite adapt at them. I've been on several 'trail' rides and these were the best horses I've ever... More

I've never ridden a horse up a mountain trail before. Very steep parts but the horses were sure-footed and I never felt in danger. We did the 3 hour ride which was caused me to be a little saddle sore by the end. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the views from higher up were spectacular!!! More
