Come explore trails taken by old west outlaws and enjoy a rare chance to see remnants of ancient Native Americans. Some trails are more rugged than others so for safety reasons we require that children must be at least 7 years old to participate.

Riding along the canyon on horseback felt like living a old western movie in real life. Staff were friendly and professional

That day it threatened to be cancelled due to rain, but at the hour of departure it was dry. We were a group of about 10 and I enjoyed it. Horse listened well, and nice view along the rim of Bryce. 1.5 hours value for money and cozy guides.

1. Reservation to go to Bryce Canyon: result 1h13 of forest and 7 minutes by the canyon and not in the Canyon as the false photos show
2. Started at 15 people, 10 beginners with us and no horse adapted to the level of participants
3. Several lame horses
4. The "so-called" Guide who prefers to be late to afford little trots while we eat dust in step
5. The "so-called" Guide who pats his horse's back to move forward while he's peeing
6. The "so-called" Guide who is extremely heavy and nasty in the mouth of her horse
7. Guide who spends half the ride on the phone
8. Received a mule and not a horse (and they claim it's a horse!)
9. Were photographed without prior permission
10. No effort to speak slowly and understandably when told that our children speak only French
11. Walk of 1h20 and not 1h30
12. Saddles not suitable for half the horses
13. On the 7 minutes by the Canyon, you can't stop to take pictures while you stop in the middle of the forest for nothing
14. No choice of helmets, sizes not suitable for us and not in condition (so unnecessary and not secure)

Besides the amazing Navajo trail which is a must do, this excursion will provide you with the best way to experience Bryce canyon. The guides are great, the horses easy going. I highly recommend it and I would want to do it again in blink of an eye. So great!

The horseback riding was beautiful and fun! Unfortunately one of our horses was way behind and it seemed as if the guides didn’t really care that two people were left behind at the end of the ride.
Besides that the ride next to the canyon was very impressive, but only lasted 7 minutes of the total ride. The rest was riding through the woods. So only book this if you’re more interested in the riding part, because the scenery is great but only a very small part of it.

Spoiler alert: the horse got the next day off. (We came back the next day to check on the horse.)

At the beginning of the tour when they were shortening the stirrups to fit me, they realize that my legs were too short. They kept saying, ‘I don’t know maybe we should get kids stirrups. I don’t know what to do.’ I had my legs are straight completely straight and toes pointed just get my toes on the stirrups. I said, ‘ How important is it? My feet kind of reach..’ they were like well it’s a pretty easy trail. It should be OK. Keep in mind I do not ride horses at all. If I did, this wouldn’t be the kind of tour I would take since you really have no control over your horse. The first time the horse cantered, I was flopping all over. Everybody else their legs were fairly bent so they could stand up in them and have a little bit more control. It’s amazing to me that I didn’t fall off the horse. Again, I’m relying on their experience to guide me correctly since I have no experience. Looking back they should’ve gotten shorter stirrups for me.
About 15 minutes into the 1.5 hour ride my husbands horse fell. This is probably because the horses are literally nose to tail. We aren’t sure if my horse got annoyed and kicked back (my horse repeatedly kept shying away) or if his horse just couldn’t see where it was going and stumbled..
Fortunately there was a nurse taking the trip with his daughter, because the people running the tour had NO IDEA what to do. They just kinda looked at him on the ground in pain and asked if he was ok. He said no, the horse fell on my knee and it really hurts. I had to ask them to get me off my horse so I could go to him. He is not a complainer and he was clearly in pain. The nurse advised that they bring a backboard and a neck brace just to make sure his back was OK. About 15 minutes later they showed up with a horse trailer for the horse. It took another 15 minutes for one of the owners to show up on an ATV to check him out. No backboard, no neck brace. Fortunately, he was able to get up and climb Into the truck. But there was really no way for them to know this until he was checked out by a paramedic, and they were advised by a medical professional to bring stabilizing equipment. It’s unbelievable to me that they got a horse trailer there in half the time it took to get somebody to help the human. I know we sign a waiver, but seriously? This is a nose-to-taul tour. You don’t have to have any skill at all. Clearly, the people who take you on the tour don’t expect anything happen because they are completely unequipped to deal with it. I don’t think the even new basic first aid.
We had to drive 25 min to the hospital to get x-rays and make sure his knee was ok.
Although they apologize profusely, we weren’t offered a different tour, or even a discount. I guess they don’t really care that our experience sucked.

Bailey was great! She told us about the history of the area around Ruby Inn and clearly loves her job and the horses (her "babies"! We rode Alice and Rooster, who were really fun! Nice, relaxing horse ride!

The walk is nice, passing on dirt paths in the forest. But the passage near the canyon is very short: around 5-10min. Damage...
Don't expect a trot or a gallop, it's just a walk.
The staff is pleasant.
