Breathtaking - Our guide Wyatt was wonderful and very focused on the riders and pointing out the sites throughout the ride. The horses were very sweet and made for a great experience taking pictures from the top of horse left me with some of the best photos of our trip. Guides took the time to match riders experience to the right horse.

Best horseback ride ever - My wife and I went on this ride. My wife had never been on a horse before. The guides were fantastic. The ride was through absolutely beautiful country and the horses were super gentle. We will definitely be going back to ride with Ruby’s Horseback Adventures again and we can’t wait. I would give them 20 stars out of 10 if it would let me. We loved every second of it!

Great ride for a beginner! - Excellent tour, but bring extra water! The guides were great, the horses are well trained and need such minimum guidance - it's perfect for a beginner.

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.

Horseback - 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.
