We had a wonderful time with our guide, Susie. She was a delight and we enjoyed her very much! We also loved our horses, Joe, Shelby and new to the ranch, Clyde who whinnied all the way! read more

12 Mile Stables - Horseback Riding Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We were scheduled for a 1-1/2 hour creek/trail ride at 9:00 am on Nov 4, 2024. Enroute to the stables we were involved in a car accident. Nobody was hurt, but it took a little time for the paperwork by the police. We called the stables and let them know that we were going to be late. We arrived at 8:45 and Dustin was excellent and patient with us. There was another group of 5 that was joining us on the ride. We quickly accomplished the paperwork and Dustin went to get the horses that were already ready for us. This day was cold and had rained earlier. Dustin helped all of us on our assigned horses with a mixture of rider's expertise. We headed out and the trail ride was nice at a leisurely pace. Dustin kept checking on us as he lead the caravan. The creek crossing was nice and the horses did really well crossing it twice. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and Dustin made it really pleasant. read more

My boyfriend and I booked the 1.5 hr river crossing ride recently. We had a wonderful time! My horse "Barbie" and my boyfriend's horse "Honey " were well trained, well behaved and a joy to ride. Dustin was our primary wrangler, and he was fantastic, as were ALL the other wranglers (sorry, names that I can't remember, but they were also fantastic!). They all deserve a lot of credit for such a smooth and safe operation working with guests of all skill levels and horses with all different temperaments and personalities. Well done!! We will definitely plan another ride soon and will recommend this outfit to our friends and family. Thank you all for a fabulous riding experience. read more

I took my 9 year old granddaughter on the 90 minute tra ride today- she says it was "the best day of her life"! many thanks to wranglers Rhonda and Dusty and also the amazing horses Lighting and Magnolia. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Dustin was awesome! Lightning, pipsqweak and tangled were great horses! Would highly recommend!

Held a Pony Ride Birthday party for my son's fifth bIrthday. All the children had a good time and they didn't skimp on the time, even though they got started late. But... They claim to have suvenoir horseshoe, bandana, and picture, which I paid extra for. First, I had to ask for them. Second, the suvenoir horseshoe is an old rusty one they pull out of a box and I dodn't even get to pick which rusty one I wanted!. I didn't pay extra for a regular horseshoe, I could find in a cow pasture in Nebraska. I can't believe they charge for junk! But there are other surprise charges! I was concerned about having enough time for all the children to ride. So I asked them if another horse could be provided. They said, sure! But they forgot to say, for an extra $100. When I went to pay, they had the extra $100 and an 18% mandatory gratuity! So they didn't get everything wrong to ruin the party. But I left with a sour taste in my mouth that lasted a couple of days. Hence the review! read more

Wow! Talk about making a person feel welcome from beginning to end. I wish I caught the names of everyone that helped us, but unfortunately I didn't. However, the ride with JJ & Dustin (I know spelling may be incorrect) was so amazing - they were friendly, engaging, helpful, calming, & fun! We rode on Tamale & Mr. Rusty who were also really great with us - really well trained! We definitely recommend coming here & if you can request the wranglers, request JJ & Dustin. read more

Shawn and staff are awesome and knowledgeable. Barley, Harley, and freckles were great. The entire staff made it a great experience.

I booked the sunset dinner ride for my daughter and I (July). Due to rain the dinner part was cancelled they called me with enough time stop and get a bite before the ride, I really appreciated that. Check-in was smooth with Austin. We rode Taffy and Snowball. They were wonderful to ride. The weather cleared up and it was a beautiful ride! The group was almost 20 riders. Our wranglers were Dustin, Dan, Christian and Evee. They were all nice and attentive. I would recommend purchasing the horseshoe as a keepsake, if your lucky you get an actual shoe that your horse wore. Can't wait to experience it during winter. read more

This place was fabulous! Grandson asked to ride a horse. Wish granted by 12 mile stables. They selected sweet white horse for him named Lightening. Our host Kayleigh was so patient kind and a firm clear teacher for our boy. She answered his many questions and taught him some fun things about dried apples and applesauce which delighted. He also loved throwing real horseshoes in the picnic area. This place is very welcoming and well run. Safety and fun were priorities. Thank you so much 12 Mile Stables. We will be back!! read more

12 Mile Stables - My daughter's birthday present to ride a horse by the name of Floppy she was super excited - Horseback Riding Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

went here last week w/ my kids & we had the best time! highly recommend!! Max & Michelle were fantastic guides!

We had an absolutely amazing time, my horse Tamale was very small and gentle, my partners horse Thor was such a cutie as well! We did the 1.5 hour stream ride, I will say I was sore after and will likely stick to one hour rides from now on. Jesse, and Dustin were very kind, asking questions, getting to know us riders, making us feel overall very welcome. However, my one and only complaint is about this dude named Dan. Dan was a third trail guide on our ride, he was very rude. Not only was he rude to the riders but he was on the phone with who I'm assuming is his boss shit talking his fellow coworkers. He was also behind me the whole ride micromanaging my every move, it made the whole ride less relaxing. Other than this the ride was amazing, 10/10 recommend. read more

My husband and I took a trail ride as part of our honeymoon. We found 12 Mile Stables to be well maintained and the horses were well-cared for and seemed happy. Dustin was our delightful trail guide who made the excursion fun and relaxed with his laid back humor. Check in was easy and the customer service was great. We are Denver residents with a state parks pass and will return often. ​ read more

We had a great time this past Saturday. We were a group of 4 women and enjoyed the relaxed ride, sun, blue sky and fall foliage. I can now say I have ridden a Harley - well my horse's name is Harley. Jesse, Dustin and Jeff rode with us and were a lot of fun and informative. I look forward to our next ride and may bring the men with us. read more

Man what an amazing experience!! I was very skeptical when my wife scheduled this because it is close to the city but in the very big park. I've worked horses way back in my younger days and this was an experience for my family that doesn't. The hands that helped us out were amazing. Sydney and Ryan were the two that we spoke with more often and checked on everyone and carried on a great conversations. I feel so bad that I can remember the trail head leader and the other lady that helped get our horses ready for us to get on. The horses were well trained and very easy to work with, even from some of the riders that had no experience whatsoever. My daughters horse had slipped on a weird area and from experience hardly happens, and the horse and her fell. They were immediately on the ball helping her out and unfortunately she couldn't get her foot out of the stirrup when the horse got up and fell. She was ok and they were immediately jumping off their horses to help. They knew every horse by name, character, personality and where they should be in the line. We did the sunset ride which is the latest ride on 530 and the view was absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a close to the city trail ride this is it! Man what an amazing experience!!

Great ride, especially for my 7 yr granddaughter! This ride was her birthday gift from me and she loved it! Great instructions from the lead person, Blu. The horses were perfect and riding through the stream was the highlight. read more

Everything went well. Dustin was perfect in assisting I and a fellow rider throughout the experience. The ranch has all the space needed for a fulfilling an hour long ride. John, the horse was pleasant, felt he understood how I wanted to ride and my commands. Wish he were my horse. A strong demeanor, but still very meek. I'll be visiting again God willing. $50 well spent. read more

I was a little nervous since it was my first time horseback riding but Dustin & Dan managed to make the experience extremely pleasant. I would recommend this stable to my loved ones. Also special shoutout to Pipsqueak for being such an amazing horse read more

Dustin was an amazing tour guide! He made me feel safe and at ease the entire trip. Though my partner and I did not otp into the creek trail- he took us on the trail just for fun! My horse Maggie was such a sweetheart. Very great experience overall! read more

This experience was amazing. I found this hidden gem via google search as I wanted to go horseback riding while on vacation in Denver. I did reserve my ticket in advance for my friend and I and I was glad I did. The only complaint that I had, which could have been an issue on my end, is for the sunset tour they charge you 11% gratuity. Now I have no issues with paying gratuity; however, I did not know thing until AFTER I paid my deposit and read through the conformation email. When we arrived there are two parking lots one a regular parking lot I believe for the park and the other is a dirt parking lot in front of a tiny building. When we arrived we checked in, paid the remainder of the portion and waited a few minutes. Let me tell you something about this place. They are prompt, on time, I love it. They will be ready to roll at your scheduled time. So like I mentioned we did the sunset ride. My horse name was Riley. The ride was BEAUTIFUL but yal....it was COLD and I was not prepared. If you are going on colder temperature days BUNDLE UP gloves, layers under jeans etc. They did tell us if we put one hand between the saddle and the horse it'll warm up and it did but whew was it cold. By the time the sunset ride ended, it was dark and there is no lighting around that area. Overall, I had a great experience, and I would definitely do it again, just not in the cold. read more
