      Malnourished horse
      We didn’t book a ride here, but when we walked passed there was a horse tacked up that looked severely malnourished. The other horses fine. I don’t think it’s responsible for the horse or the riders to send them of looking like this. Please consider this before you book a ride here.

      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.

      Disappointing
      Guide never said 1 word, 2 out of 6 horses were mules. Trail was pretty, horses were nose to tail . Saddles were horrible. .Guide took 1 picture, no warning resulted in terrible picture. Overall would say book with different company.

      A leisurely way to explore the area
      We had a nice 90 minute horseback tour with Ruby’s. Even though we never actually went into the park, we were able to get a view of the canyon. Our guide Berry was very nice and knew the horses well. My horse Alice was a bit slow but she did a great job trying to keep up. All the horses seemed in good condition and well mannered. Our family of three enjoyed ourselves.

      Fun ride!
      Kids enjoyed the horseback riding tour. Beautiful scenery and just the right amount of time. Mom didn't appreciate the cowboy guide asking her kids about their partying habits. In addition, this guide wasn't shy about expressing some pretty racist views based on one encounter with one group of people. I would suggest a little training on social skills.

      Excellent horse trek experience
      Absolutely wonderful experience. So glad we booked this in advance. There was a dozen people on the trail trek, along part of the Bryce rim and then through wooded areas. The guys leading the trek were great! Chatting with everyone and making sure we were all happy. We had good basic instruction at the start and the horses were happy and ambled along. I would definitely recommend this experience.

      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.

      A fun ride!
      We did the 1.5 hour ride and it was just the right amount of time on the horse. A nice ride through the forest with a beautiful view of some hoodoos. The guides were young, Brian and Klinc were talkative and fun to talk to. I would definitely recommend!

      Horse/mule riding worthwhile safe experience with good view of Canyon.
      Good and fun experience. Did 1.5 hr trip. Wear sun protection and ask for a helmet as not routinely offered. The horses or mules are well trained. Can bring water and mobile phone only. The lead will also take photos and airdrop them up you at the end. You need to cross over the road from the Inn to the Corral which we were not aware of as this was not on our info so we waited In reception for someone to come. Get there early to prep.

    Enjoyed the Thunder Mountain 4 hour ride. Beautiful ride and the horses were well kept and performed great. All employees were friendly, but our guide, Andun, went above and beyond as he guided us through the terrain. He has a great personality, is very friendly, and even offered to take pictures throughout the ride and AirDrop them to me afterwards so we had plenty of photos to remember the ride. He then recommended Ebenezer’s Barn & Grill for some great entertainment and dinner. Would absolutely enjoy a ride from this company again.

    Had a wonderful ride on the Thunder Mountain Trail. Our guide, Chase was informative and took good care of our group. Loved the horses! We had Little B, Hot Rod and Mister Shorty. They were strong, sure footed and gave us a fun ride. Beautiful trail.

    My husband wanted to take the horse tour even though we were in our senior years. It was really an awesome experience. Our guide Carter was very patient with us and watched us very carefully. He was so personable with such a pleasing personality. Tommy was also very helpful in getting us on and off the horses. Loved it!

    The scenery is some of the most fabulous I have ever seen. The ride is not listed for beginners. 4 hours on Thunder Mountain. Our guide was Andun Pratt. Great guy, easy manner. If you don't like heights you may not want to do this ride. My son and I were the only ones on the ride. Absolutely fantastic and Andun made it even better!!

    We had an amazing experience yesterday on the Thunderback ride! Our guide, Jeff, was awesome! He had a lot of knowledge to share! There were only 3 of us on the ride and he was very relaxed and flexible and worked at our skill level, willing to stop as necessary. The views were breathtaking. I highly recommend the 4 hour trail! The panoramic views were all worth it! He even took photos along the way and airdropped them to us at the end!

    Yesterday we took an early thunder mountain ride with Kevin (he manages Ruby's horses) my husband rode shorty (tall brown horse) I had hotrod. We had a great time and an awesome experience. We have both rodent before but are not experts by any means. I believe everyone is afraid of heights to a degree (or situation). you have to trust your horse he has been on this trail before. If you get scared like they have always said dont look down. Look up the mountain or ahead of you. Would do it again. But not today..too sore..lol
