We chose to come here after a negative experience at another stable. We're glad we came here. We filled out the necessary paperwork and we were on our way. Unlike our previous experience at another place, the manager was very nice to us. Our guide, Paula was so nice. She was very knowledgeable and took great care of us and our horses. It was a great time and we'll be back! read more

We came here after a bad experience with a guy at another park. The difference was night and day. These guys were fun, flexible and friendly. Our trail guide, Paula, was so friendly and helpful! The rest of the people that were going to go on our ride with just our friends! The horses are well behaved and sweet. We just really enjoyed everything about the check in and the ride. We're already planning our next ride. read more

I had an excellent time at bear creek stables. The two wranglers, Lee and Mona, were very friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the horses and the surrounding area. I had made a same day reservation, more like a last minute decision to go riding and they fit me in! The trail was easy and beautiful, we rode along a lake and through turkey creek. It was just what I needed, a simple ride. My horse Sally was the cutest and I felt very safe on her. After my ride, I was assisted with the dismount. Afterwards, the two male wranglers and I spoke for a few minutes about the history of my horse and her experiences in her life, she was a very special horse, my heart melted for her. It's was wonderful, great conversation and they didn't make me feel rushed at all. I'm planning another trip back here with my niece. She would love it! Honestly you can't beat the price either! Don't forget to bring cash to tip your wrangler! read more

Took our family of 5 for an hour guided ride. Suzie and Susan were a terrific welcome committee and they were so skilled and professional. They matched each of my girls with the perfect horse and gave them their basic instructions. My youngest, whose 5, rode with the wrangler and loved it! She felt like she was leading the pack. What a great first experience for her! The location and cost were ideal and totally worth it. After an hour of riding in the sun we hit the lake. So it was a perfect Colorado day! read more

Great kids bday pony party. Eden manages the stables, she and another rangler provided 2 hours with 2 ponies for a 6 year old bday of about 20 kids. They smiled for photos, we had use of the pavilion, nearby hose to rinse hands, kids enjoyed the fire pit and woods area, and there's plenty of parking. The time was ample for multiple turns on the ponies kept safe with helmets and the ranglers guiding the ponies. We opted for pizza delivery meeting at the front entrance of the park rather than attempt use the charcoal grill (esp during fire ban season). $10 per car to enter without a season pass which I reimbursed attendees. It was worth it, Bear Creek stables did a great job. read more

I wanted to surprise my sister with a horseback riding trip for her birthday. She is always talking about how we haven't gone in forever! It was easy to schedule a day, and even got to talk to our leader Lee Lauren on the phone who was amazing. I had initially planned for the sunset ride. Unfortunately, though it had been raining a bunch so we could not do that. However, Lee Lauren was an absolute angel about it, and still took us out just on a flatter trail since it was a bit soggy. It was still an amazing time, and me and my sisters had a blast! The stables itself are very clean. I always expect to leave a farm or ranch or stable smelling like one, but these horses were well groomed and the property was well maintained and beautiful. We will hopefully be back soon!! read more

Here is a copy of the letter I sent to a local health dept. (of course they failed to adequately follow through), but it may help you. On August xx, 20xx, my son attended a horse riding camp at Bear Creek Stables. He was supposed to attend this summer camp for that week. However, the first day he became ill. He developed a moderate headache, a rash on his arms, but most alarmingly, he developed a severe wound on his right ear. The wound would best be described as a shedding skin, red and raw, oozing continuously for several days and quite painful. The next day, my wife called the Bear Creek Stables asking to talk to the owner who she was told was named "Russ." My wife never received a return phone call. I also attempted to contact Russ by phone, but again was ignored. Just a few weeks before, my son had attended at another camp that included horseback riding. He had shown no allergic reaction to the horses whatsoever. Therefore, my concern was that there was something unique and problematic at Bear Creek Stables. What heightened my concern was that my son told me that they had lunch in a rodent infested shed. Additionally, he was lent a horseback riding helmet for the day and I am unsure if that somehow affected his ear. Initially, my only concern was to help my son get better. But, as his problems persisted I photographed the rash on his arm the next day and his ear wound over the next several days as documentation. I have these photographs and would be happy to provide them if interested. Hopefully, this matter falls under your purview. If not, please let me know who I should contact. Thank you for your help. Again, the establishment was Bear Creek Stables, 15600 W. Morrison Road, Morrison Colorado, 80465. Their telephone number is 303-697-9666. read more

Had an awesome ride here today. Called about a week before to book a trip for just myself. Everyone was extremely nice and made the experience very enjoyable. The location is in a park and you have to pay $10 to enter which isn't bad if you have time to enjoy the park after. I wish I would have looked into it more since there is a beach there so you could go for a ride on the morning and then to the beach or walk on a trail. It was a perfect day. Oh and what I thought was extra nice is at the end of the ride they take pictures of you or the group you came with before you get off the horse. I have never been anywhere that offered to capture your memory without asking which was super nice. read more

Had a wonderful time here with my wife. It was her first time riding and might as well been my first as well since I haven't been so in over 20 years. First tip is take the exit to enter the park section itself. If you just try and gps the location you will be turning around and driving back in the opposite direction. The day pass for the park is 10 bucks, there are other activities in the park like archery, biking trails, and what they call a beach (not a beach) but a swimming area. First impressions of the area is just like the draw to Colorado in general, a beautiful scenic mountainscape wherever you look. I called about a week before to setup reservations, the girl on the phone was nice and told us everything we needed to know. My wife and I went for the 1hr trail ride with another couple and the wrangler guide. We had a great time, getting on the horse if you haven't done it ever or in a while can be a little nerve racking but after you get going the nerves subside and it's fun. The trail was scenic and had some water crossing which was cool. The biggest issue is keeping your horse from trying to sneak some snacks along the way, some horses are better than others it seemed regarding behavior. The biggest challenge is if your really short or really tall. Getting the saddles adjusted to the perfect position to make a comfortable ride was a challenge. At the end of our ride your leg joints really feel it sort of like if you slept with your arm off the edge of the bed and your elbow joint hurts when you wake up. Overall the natural beauty and experience was steal what they charge. If you want to experience what Colorado is about you should stop in and take a horseback ride. read more

This review is for the summer camp my daughter participated in. The person in charge of the kid's program was really nice and fun and I know they mean well but they need to improve educating their employees about falls and concussions and not being so careless choosing horses for children. The reason I am writing this review 6 months later, is because I don't want any more kids to experience what happened to my daughter in this place. She had a passion for horses and have been taking lessons since she was 7. We enrolled her at Bear Creek Stables when she was 10 for a summer program. She was given a big horse for her to ride because the small ones were taken. We were watching our daughter train; the instructor was next to her, whipping the horse to go faster in circles to impress parents as the instructor mentioned, the horse threw my daughter away. The instructor (very young and NOT knowledgeable about concussions, told Gracie "Welcome to the Club, every child falls off a horse here", another little girl said to my daughter that she also fell the day before and most kids do all the time there. Then the instructor told us that is better to go and not to make a big deal so my daughter does not get afraid of horses. We left...BIG MISTAKE. 3 hours later they call us saying that it is nothing serious, but your daughter is throwing up and her vision is blurred. We went to get her and she was in such a bad shape, having migraines, crying, not able to speak and so confused. Luckily our family member is a neurologist and he said that she had a severe concussion and when it is not attended to immediately, she could have long-term brain damage. How come an equestrian center, doing horse camps for children, don't know about how to detect a concussion and to tell parents to seek medical attention immediately after a bad fall?!!! We learned later from some friends that their daughter also is recovering from a concussion she had at this place... 6 months later, my daughter has had so many migraine episodes (specially after using her ipad), she has vision problems, vomiting, and is so scared to ride any horses unless they are ponies. Breaks my heart to see her now in that condition. We have taken her to different doctors, specialists, homeopaths, and she is still under treatment, recovering. We called the owner and she was cold and did not really care. PLEASE train your employees, teach them the symptoms of concussions, and don't be so negligent about choosing and training your horses and putting little children's lives and health at risk. read more

This was a highlight of our trip to Denver. Just a short drive away we were able to leave the city behind and take a trail ride on some handsome and lovely horses. I called to schedule the reservation about a week ahead of time and they were able to fit my large party of 8 in at the day and time I requested. The trail guides were so nice and the horses goofed off by eating grass during the trail- but I think that added to the experience. As someone who has only ridden once in the past, I think this was a great ease back into the practice. read more

Thank you for an amazing trail ride! This place is a must see spot to visit when coming to Denver! Our trail leader Connor was awesome he assisted all riders up on the horses and gave safety instructions to us all. He even takes great pictures for the sunset tour! I will continue to recommend this trail ride to anyone who asks! We even saw deer! read more

Taylor and David made my grandson's day...and mine. He began a bit hesitant (4 years old) and not familiar with horses other than books, videos and his hobby and rocking horses. He was immediately put at ease by these talented and sensitive folks and we immediately signed up for another session an hour later. There certainly will be more to come. In addition, the horses themselves were perfectly matched to us and suited to the task. I have had horses & ridden all my life (73 years), worked with kids and horses (Pony Club and 4H) and volunteered in a riding program for kids with disabilities. Needless to say, I have worked with a lot of instructors over the years-Taylor and David are tops! read more

My husband and I had a great experience horseback riding here. The property was well kept and all of the horses were shiny and very well taken care of. Our guides name was Angelina - she was friendly and informative and gave us the most out of our ride. Our horses names were Left Sox and Radar- both with kind dispositions. The trails were scenic and very beautiful...we will definitely return here again! I'd give 10 stars if I could! :) read more

Booked a reservation in advance for my daughters birthday. We drove an hour and a half to only be told when we got there all their wranglers called in and they had no one to take us out on the ride! AFTER we paid the parking pass JUST to get to them! TERRIBLE way to run a business!!! TERRIBLE customer service!!!! read more

Good luck getting ahold of anyone to schedule a ride. I left a message several days ahead of when I wanted to ride per instructions on their website. They returned my call once and said I needed to call right back to confirm a time, I called them back within 30 minutes then several times throughout that day and left another message. Never heard from them again and missed out on riding as we were only in town for a few days.... Save yourself some trouble and call Bear mountain stables instead, great customer service there and they got back to us right away read more

It was easy to make a reservation for an hour ride. We arrived early and checked in. They started 25 minutes late with no explanation and ended 10 minutes early. $96 with a mandatory 20%tip was the final damage. read more

This place is probably the best place to go horseback riding! Our guide was very friendly, engaging in conversation (No awkward silence!), and happily answering all the questions my daughter had about horses. The horses are well-behaved, patient, and very friendly. One minor exception is when my friend's horse would constantly go off the trail and into the bushes. However, the guide was very helpful whenever this happened. And, the scenery is just amazing! We saw all sorts of wildlife on the trail we rode. All in all, I definitely recommend this horseback riding service! read more

We had a great time here. The employees were super friendly and helpful. We got started a little late because we were waiting on the other group to come back. My girlfriend got a horse that probably should have gone to a more experienced rider, Spanky, he needed a lot of discipline to keep on track but he had a funny personality. Mine was fantastic though, Annabel. The trail was beautiful, really great for being novice riders and out wrangler was awesome. read more

Our guide was so nice, and it was so worth the price! I definitely want to go back for a sunset ride. The horses were all so sweet!

We arrived excited for our ride at The Bear Creek Stables. We had a very pleasant check in and everything was very nice. The horses were beautiful and the process was seamless and quick. However, we were disappointed with some aspects of the ride. We were two girls with prior riding experience which we had notified them of twice, and we were placed in a trail group with very small children. The ride moved slowly and was frequently stopped due to the child's inability to control her horse. Wish we could have been in a separate group with other riders who had experience. Felt very slow paced. read more

We chose to book a 1 hour ride as part of our daughters last day of summer. David was incredible but unfortunately, that is where the positive feedback ends. The other girl wrangler pretty much ruined the trip for us. She was not at all suited for this role and used it as a "stress reliever" to bark commands, even yelling at our 7 year old multiple times. She was in control of our daughters horse but still chose to yell at her to control her horse and to pay attention to what she was saying. Our daughter is very attentive but this girl was on one. At the end of the ride, David gave us very good instructions to move our horses for photos but not before this girl decided to scream at my wife for moving her horse. Yes, she did tell her to stop which we were trying to do but not before being screamed at to stop, to listen to her and pay attention. This was not the best experience which is disappointing because David was so good but it takes one power hungry young lady to ruin an otherwise nice last day of summer. read more

I took my niece and nephew here for their birthdays. They are 7 and 4. My nieces was so excited to go horse back riding, my nephew not so much. He was terrified of the big horses and she was in heaven... that is until it was time to get on... full blown melt down, she was terrified, refused to get on the horse. The staff was so nice and patient with her. They did EVERYTHING to get her on that horse, including bringing out his daughter to show her how gentle and mellow the horse was. Finally with his daughter on the back they got her on the horse, and so she was more comfortable she ended up riding with her. My nephew got right up with out a problem and now says he can't wait to ride alone like a "big boy cowboy" The trail was beautiful. Nothing small children or inexperienced riders can't handle. They played Disney trivia with the kids and made sure we all were doing well at all times. I cannot thank the staff enough for making what could have been a disastrous meltdown and much loved birthday. We will definitely be back!!! read more

So glad that we did this on our visit to Denver, once of my favorite parts of the trip. The staff was very friendly and made sure that we had a great experience. The horses and landscape was absolutely gorgeous. We even saw wolf cubs while we were on our ride. I would definitely recommend this to anyone living or visiting the area. The stables are in a park area that requires you pay for entering the park. It is for a minimal fee but something to be aware of especially if you are taking an Uber or driving service. It was hard for us to get an Uber to pick us up when we were done with our ride and it was too far for us to walk back to the park entrance especially with the sun setting. Luckily we made some friends that drove us back to the entrance so we could get picked up. read more

Awesome experience! Nick was a great guide. Kept us informed of how to handle the horses and took time to take pictures of us.

We did a week long camp and thought it was great! My child learned a lot and would not stop talking about how much fun she had at the camp. There were a variety of activities and staff was very accommodating. read more

My son loves horses and we were looking to find a horseback ride for him. We found Bear Creek Stables and scheduled a ride and my son absolutely loved it.

Our foreign exchange student had been looking forward to riding at another stable but it didn't work out, and she was disappointed. So the next day, her last day here, I called Bear Creek Stables. The manager, Eden, was incredibly accommodating and booked us, along with my 6-yr-old, for a trail ride that afternoon. She did a great job explaining what to expect, including the park entrance fee, which goes to a great cause but I knew to have $10 cash with me thanks to her. She and the other wranglers were friendly, helpful & informative when we arrived. The ride itself was wonderful. It was just the 3 of us, plus Eden, who rode with my son so I didn't have to worry about him. They have summer camps for kids 8 and up and we will be signing him up for them! Fantastic experience- we will definitely be back. Remember to tip your wranglers - they deserve it! read more
