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.

Like the local gas station - Terribles. - I have so many reasons why I’m scoring our adventure so poorly. 1. Let me start by saying we started our ride out 20 mins late because one of the guides had to “eat.” 2. We drove 30 mins to the location which they included as part of the adventure as well as 30 mins. back. 3. One of the guides was a bit on the rough side. A little too old school how he spoke to us and treated the horses 4. At times we felt like we were being reprimanded and he definitely mistreated the horses in our opinion. One such time he used my phone to hit the horse in its head because it wouldn’t back up quickly enough for him. 5. The ride itself was very unimpressive once we finally did get started. The scenery was literally the same the entire way. With little to no information about the canyon or the area except for the 4 or 5 times we were told see that it looks like a cowboy hat or that looks like the liberty bell. Beyond boring. 6. Once we got back to the arena the guides horse acted up. Instead of working with it to the side or at another time he proceeded to correct the horse and we literally got dusted out for 5 mins. 7. We had to wait while they loaded all the horses before we could leave. It would make more sense to have the other wranglers do that and drive us the customers back to get us out of our misery. Unfortunately, we won’t be back and we made sure to tell our cousins for cancel their trip in a few days.
