My daughter and I had a great experience. We were both beginners and I loved the way they taught us and encouraged us along the way. I can’t wait to return.

We went on an hour trail ride and everyone loved it. Marie was terrific with the kids and the horses were gentle and easy to ride. Beautiful day to get out in the mountains and see some wildlife. Highly recommend!!!

Family-owned business that is well put together and provided a beautiful ride. I could have done without the owners overly– boisterous daughter that was loud the entire ride. The owner brought her dog along as well. Which would have been fine if it weren’t intentionally trying to antagonize the horses. As novice riders, having your horse get spooked and jump up because of the family pet, is frightening.

Arranged a bit last minute for my nephew 15, who had never ridden and niece 17 who had done Indiana«flatland» riding for a taste of Colorado riding. Marie gave great instructions to Jordan who rode Snickers and Michelle who rode Sheba and I brought up the rear on Justin as an experienced rider. The«sunset» tour was outstanding! The terrain was beautiful and rugged, the wildlife spotting was great along with Muffin the dog. Michelle spotted a bull elk and a couple of deer. Jordan gained confidence as Marie kept a good eye on him and«challenged«him a bit with walk to trot combinations. At the hour mark Marie asked if they wanted to do more and«Yes!» came from both mouths. I will definitely be back bring any visitors and locals alike as this ranks among the best rides I have done in Colorado in terms of the guide, the terrain, the temperment of the horses. Jordan(formerly shy and hardly spoke unless spoken to now has blossomed on this trip) was smiling all thru dinner at JJ Madwells down the hill saying he would like to come back for another vacation and he wants to ride again! Big firsts: airplane ride, Rockies game, rafting, ziplining, apline slide/chairlift ride, being in the mountains and riding real horses. Thank you Marie for boosting his confidence and this trip of firsts for Jordan and we will see you again soon. Great ride, great prices, great terrain, great horses, great guide, great dog.

GREAT location and beautiful trails. Marie and Brian, the owners, came out on the ride with us, and they were very helpful all along the way. The tails are challenging for a beginner(which both of us on the ride were) but totally doable. The horses were well behaved and friendly. At the end of the ride we got the opportunity to take off the horses’ saddles if we wanted(we did) and give them a treat. The owners DOTAKECREDITCARDS, even though their flyer says they don’t. I felt completely comfortable, had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend Bear Mountain Stables to anyone.

I wanted to go horseback riding for my birthday and I’m so glad I found this place. I’ve done it in NY on quaint little trails. Here I did a 90 minute tour and it was so much fun — and it was only about $ 50 for the ride(plus tip which I was more than happy to give). I got to ride Sheba and we got along well. We walked through the woods and the scenery was gorgeous, I enjoyed the whole trail on that sunny day. At the end of the ride I was allowed to feed my horse snacks too, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We were 3 people in total and we had 2 guides, 1 person to lead in the front and 1 to remain in the back. They gave us a quick refresher course on commands and I felt I was in good hands. I would love to revisit the stable, and maybe try riding on a different horse.
