Very relaxing, very chill location to ride horses. Most of them are retired so don't expect to be running them, they're there for a permanent vacation. They're all well behaved and socialized. The gals who I went with were pretty cool and we bonded over our hour and a half ride. Will definitely be back with a larger group. read more

Had the worst experience at this stable. I had called earlier in week to see about cancelations for snow and the said they would email. No email received so I took my granddaughter and they didn't start on time and didn't do anything but walk the horses and then cancelled early They said it was too cold to do any of the regular lesson activities. Definitely a bad place to learn for young kids read more

I had a wonderful 90-minute ride at Twelve Mile Stables -- the trail through Cherry Creek was beautiful and peaceful, with gorgeous scenery the whole way. The experience was relaxed, well organized, and perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Five stars for Drake, who was a fantastic guide and made the ride especially enjoyable. read more

Dustin was our guide for our horse ride and I honestly loved this experience. As soon as I landed in Denver I wanted to experience this with my twin sis. Dustin was a good trainer and explained everything very well to us. I loved the ride, loved my horse Pepsquek and loved this beautiful experience. My sister horse was Clyde and he was amazing as well. I will def come back again for this beautiful ride. I recommend for everyone to do this beautiful tour. read more

great for kids or beginner. VERY boring for adults. The stream crossing trail is a short loop with a lot of stops. Too many people for me personally. highly recommended for families with little kids. overall I just had a very boring experience. staff was attentive and nice. read more

Went on an 1.5 hour ride with Pip Squeak (the name caught me off guard and I was very amused) and Pip Squeak was a very good boy and gentle. He is the very first draft horse to help me not feel intimidated by them due to their massive height; for someone who is barely 5 feet riding a draft horse was a little nerve wrecking at first. With an addition, the wrangler that I rode with was Dustin and he was phenomenal, and friendly! read more

Loved my time here! Courtney was amazing helping us with the horses and an amazing trail ride with her! Loved my horse dorado! The whole process was amazing from check in to stepping off the horse! The trail was beautiful, and loved that my horse had some character while also being easy to ride (it was my first time!). Would highly recommend to anyone looking to try horse riding for the first time! Get the 90 minute ride, 60 minutes flew by it was so much fun! read more

We had the best time! Our guide, West, was amazing and talked with us the whole time. We rode Lily and Charlotte, and they were amazing, calm, and responsive.

My husband and I went to 12 Mile Stables for the 1 1/2 hour ride. Mia and Courtney were terrific guides. They chose Bonnie for me and Clyde for hubby. We both really enjoyed the ride and the horses were great! After the ride, Bryce and Mia spent time answering some questions for us and we're very hospitable. We will highly recommend your stables for any friends we have visiting your area. Judy Freeman read more

My daughter and I had such a great experience at 12 Mile Stables!! Such great staff and amazing owner/boss. Neither of us have been on a horse in a very long time. The horses were great. We went from feeling slightly intimidated when we first got on to feeling very comfortable. The ride was slow and steady. Just what we were looking for. Very peaceful and beautiful. My horse, Lilly was very chill and delightful which helped me feel safe. My daughter's horse Excalibur had a fun personality making it a very fun and safe ride for her. She is very happy she was paired with him. Our tour guide Hailey was great. She consistently checked on us making sure we felt safe. If she felt there was any questions to what the horses were doing, she made sure to check it out and let us know what they were doing. (Mostly just the flies annoying them) Overall the best choice you can make when looking for a riding experience!! read more

Was given zero instruction before or during the ride about steering. Trail is boring and "stream" option is a quick crossing through the water twice. Guides don't seem to be very organized and did not know how to control their own horses. This resulted in a runaway horse that riled up the rest of the horses and almost made mine take off running and throw me off. This was also the case for a few others on the ride, including some children. Guides seemed unfazed and did not give any instruction on what to do in the situation. Unless you have at least a small amount of experience riding horses I don't recommend this place. It is highly overrated and overpriced for the scenery and experience. read more

A great time riding horses today! It was my daughter's first time riding a horse and my first time in almost 20 years. She rode Dory and I had Mags. Both good horses! Dustin and Dan (I think it was Dan, 2 pm ride on 10/6) had fun stories to tell during the ride. Would recommend! read more

This was my first time riding a horse and Naomi, Dustin, and Augie were all so kind. I rode Magnolia and my partner got Honey.

Lovely experience :) read more

I along with my co-workers enjoyed a sunset dinner ride for a team building and vent. It was fabulous. JJ and Grace were our guides they were GREAT! Do NOT let the roadside sign location fool you the trails are diverse and enjoyable. Most importantly the horses were well cared for which was of the highest priority for us. Fabulous experience! Well done 12 Mile, well done. The horses we ride were: Sugar, Jaime, BC, Cheeto, Lily, and Honey read more

My sister and I went on the 8:30 am Sunday creek crossing trail ride. It was spectacular! Our guide, Dustin, was funny and kind and so helpful. I rode Lily, a beautiful black horse . She was so easy to ride and allowed me time to relax and enjoy the scenery. My sister rode Pipsqueak and he was so cute and big!! He kept a really nice pace for her. The views were stunning and the creek crossing was 10/10!!! We will be back, hopefully soon :) thanks!!! read more

Wonderful ride with Dustin, Jeff and Shilo, and horse Clyde - thank you! Dustin went above and beyond, setting up photo opportunities for us, adjusting stirrups mid-ride and checking in on everyone in the group. I would definitely recommend 12 Mile Stables for a leisurely and beautiful ride! read more

Longer review because our experience was crappy. PSA: If you need assistance to mount this isn't the place for you. The Manager, Bryce, has a strict policy against it. BACKGROUND: visited the stable to check it out. Met a female guide. We described our situation, she had wonderful things to say about the stable, and felt the ride can happen! My sister can ride just needs assistance mounting. Who doesn't? We are experienced riders, this should be great. Nice slow ride right? Bryce, the stable manager, refused to allow me to stabilize my sister as she mounted, stating EVERY rider needed to get on without assistance for "safety". We told him once she's on she's fine. He wouldn't budge. FYI/ You mount from a shaky step stool, not a solid platform. You're not sliding on. He suggested I go on the ride WITHOUT my sister...WHAT?? We couldn't proceed with the ride, charged 1/2 of the ride as a cancellation fee. At the time it seemed it was just a stiff policy we weren't made aware of so we walked away feeling "wow..WTF just happened". Where was the guide we spoke to? My sister is so amazing she tipped the guide standing there feeling it wasn't his fault. MORE TO THE STORY: Found out the guide we spoke to had car trouble that morning and literally on her way in. Bryce was informed of our chat with the guide and refused to accommodate. I get it. The guide may have committed to something the stable can't accommodate. But if you knew she spoke to us, was on her way in, at least inform us so it all made sense. We would have happily waited. read more

So I work there. It's absolutely amazing I'm so blessed to have this job y'all. Good coworkers, beautiful, horses, and the Rockies! Oh and let's don't forget the Sun rise and sunset! So lucky to get to meet people from all over the world. Thank you jeasus! read more

SO happy I can cross riding horses in Colorado off my list! I was visiting a friend who lives in Aurora from Detroit and knowing I love to ride, she recommended these stables to me. Easy 15 minutes ride by Uber and easy to find. Dustin, our wrangler, was so awesome!!! (Just don't take shaggy out again) I enjoyed chatting with him and learning about his ranching experience and how much he's loved riding western his entire life. My beautiful boy Thor, was a perfect gentleman the entire 1.5 ride. I think Dustin and I would have enjoyed moving at a faster pace, but Shaggy slowed us down a bit haha. Other than that, the ride was super peaceful. This ride is perfect for beginners and small children. All the horses are well behaved (including the quirks of Bonnie and Clyde! ) and look very healthy and happy. #1 priority for me! My only thing to make others aware - I originally went to book the sunset ride, but the online reservations require you book with two adults - HOWEVER, based on meeting the staff, I'm sure if you called and asked if you could come for that ride as a solo rider, they'd be more than happy to have you. I just didn't call. Anyways, great lil spot to get some riding in! Thanks everyone! read more

My wife, daughter and I had a great 1 hour ride with wrangler Dustin, and horses Snowball, Tito, and Dog. (GIVE THEM TREATS!) Dustin explained what to do thoroughly when going up an incline, down a decline, and what to do when your horse stops to pee. They also explained how to turn the horses and slow them down or take them to a stop if you needed to, and how to get them going if you needed to. My wife and daughter are going to go on 2 more rides at lease this year and request the same wrangler and same horses if possible. read more

Dustin and Jesse were excellent trail guides! Pip Squeak and Dorado were full of personality! They did a great job of matching your experience with the perfect horse. The dinner was wonderful brisket, baked beans, corn muffins, and mashed taters. We saw 2 coyotes, baby bunnies, and prairie dogs. Everyone was very kind working there. Definitely recommend for anyone! Fun for all ages. read more

Justin and Dan were fabulous guides, and Thor and Lukas were extremely sweet horses! We went for our 21st Anniversary and will definitely go back again :). They made sure we had horses that matched our ability level, they take excellent care of the horses (they rotate the horses to give them a break in the shade, and always have food and water available to them), and they even took pictures for us during the ride. Fabulous experience and clearly an owner in it for the right reasons (the horses... and providing a great experience :)! read more

Dustin and Dan were our wranglers, me and my sister went for a 1 hr trail ride. I liked how everybody at the stables were helpful in explaining how the horses work and created an atmosphere of safety around such amazing horses. I rode on a Mustang horse named X / Excalibur and he is very well mannered. Also like how transparent they are with what offerings they have for horse rides, definitely a great place to enjoy the day with horses. read more

My fiancé and I visited 12 mile stables on Oct 15 2024 around 3:30pm , checking in was fast and easy. They have a one stable bathroom outside. We were helped by Randy and Dustin throughout the trail. As a beginner knowing nothing about riding horses they made me feel safe and they also teach you the basics for the trail. They also make sure to partner you with the best suited horse , my partner in crime was Harley and he was great!! Thank you guys read more

This place ruined 2 girls 4th of July Colorado experience. The girls are 15 and 17. The website says that an adult needs to be along with them. That's me. Their website says a parent or guardian needs to sign a waiver, but once you get there, they demand that it is the parent (even though their website says it can be a guardian (does not say legal guardian) and they were with an adult. All of a sudden, the guardian part of their policy does not count, nor them being with an adult. This place sucks. Thanks for ruining a great 4th of July day. YOU SHOULD ALSO NEVER SIGN THEIR WAIVER. READ IT! THEY ARE NOT EVEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE. THINK ABOUT IT, THEY CAN BE NEGLIGENT, AND YOU CAN DIE DUE TO THIS NEGLIGENCE AND YOU CAN'T SUE THEM. read more

This was an amazing experience. I was in Denver for a week for work and I really wanted to take advantage of the activities and found the sunset and dinner ride with 12 mile stables. I convinced a huge group of people from work to book the trip and it was a private trip for our group. I will say my allergies were absolutely horrible from the grasses, but the state park was beautiful. The dinner wasn't anything crazy. They were picnic boxes from famous daves. But it was neat and I would highly recommend this! read more
