AMAZING experience! I was beyond nervous to ride a horse, especially on top of mountains lol but I'm so happy I went for it. This was my first time in Colorado and this was my favorite experience out of the entire trip! It's such a beautiful way to see the Rocky Mountains. Everyone who works there is knowledgeable and will make you feel at ease throughout the ride. I did the three hour and I highly recommend it but be aware your legs and booty will be hurting for a couple of days haha!! Still worth it! When I visit Colorado again, I will 100% be booking a ride here. read more

We've had such a great experience riding horses this fall at Bear Mountain Stable. Horses are so well behaved and so sweet! Marie walked us through all information we would need to know before the ride. She is very welcoming and a great host! Horses are trained and they already know where to go. Relax and enjoy the ride in the pine forest We all had an amazing time! read more

What a fantastic experience! Marie was an excellent guide and very friendly. You can tell she loves her horses and what she does. They have a beautiful property and great trails. Some parts have more incline/decline while other parts are flatter & calmer, which kept the experience really interesting and fun, yet also relaxing. Definitely beginner friendly - my wife had never ridden before and she had a blast. Highly recommend. read more

We had a wonderful time today. Marie set up 2 pony (actually horse) rides for our 3 & 5.5 year olds around the stable. So kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My children had an amazing time. read more

Amazing place. I have visited twice and cannot think of anything I would change. Great location, great people, reasonable prices, and an amazing afternoon! read more

Amazing scenery! Thoughtful hosts. Great pleasant instructions before the ride. The horses are clean, healthy, and well behaved. Small party of 4, all wearing masks, and what a double blessing because the dry parts are a bit dusty. Worth every penny. Great quality time together. Highly recommend. read more

Bear Mountain Stables - Riding the gorgeous trail. - Horseback Riding Near Me - Conifer, Colorado

Rachel and Formelian are awesome guides and fun folks to ride with. Thank You Marie, they are gems!

Marie and her staff took us on a fun trail riding experience. A beautiful ride in Conifer up hills and down hills. Our horses were great and we even got a photo opportunity. The best part is that this wasn't your usually nose to tail ride read more

Had so much fun riding horses. The guides were very personal and informative. The views were so pretty!

My daughter and I took a trail ride for her birthday and we were so pleased with the experience. The owners were so kind and let my daughter hang out with the horses after we were finished! Beautiful trail! We will be back for another ride soon! read more

The family had a great time at Bear Mountain Stables today! Marie was easy to communicate with over text for booking & follow up questions. My kids are 12 & 10 and not experienced. They felt comfortable & loved the horses. Helmets for everyone & a nice lesson in the beginning left the whole group at ease. The trails were beautiful, winding up & down narrow tracks. Thanks Marie to you & your family for sharing your stables & beautiful horses. read more

Bear Mountain Stables - Horseback Riding Near Me - Conifer, Colorado

We did a 1h ride with our 9yo daughter. This was an awesome stable and experience. They made sure we got a quick orientation and safety overview which I really appreciated. The guides were friendly and checked on us several times throughout the ride, made sure we were comfortable, etc. The horses were well cared for and well behaved. The trail wasn't too technical but it was lovely. Overall awesome experience. read more

Awesome stable and ride. Marie and Uta were caring, responsive and patient. The beautiful horses were gentle and well cared for. The trail was more exciting than a flat dirt road but rather up and down narrow trails throughout the woods. They were attentive to all riders which included my 10 yr old granddaughter on her first ever ride. We will be back. Thanks! read more

I treated myself for a horseback ride for my birthday in May and had such a fantastic time. The owner was extremely kind and made me feel extremely comfortable. Safety was the number one priority for the riders as well as the horses. I was so impressed with the horses ability to navigate through the terrain, climbing hills and descending down some of the steep inclines. I must say I was a little nervous because I was accustomed to riding on even surfaces. But we made it through unscaved. The cost was extremely reasonable. $50 at the time I went. It was great weather and a lovely one hour tour on the beautiful mountainsides of Conifer. A hidden gem. read more

Marie guided us through the forest and she was great! Our horses were docile and super responsive to our commands -- all nicely taught by Marie before our ride. Helmets are provided as well and Marie also checks on you all the time during the ride to see if you are ok. They take great care of their horses, and they all seemed happy and healthy. We did a one hour ride, and it was a loop, up and downhill, through the forest and as well through open spaces, always in a nicely kept trail... We also saw some lovely baby deer on our way. Very fun thing to do as a family, couple or a group of friends. I'd totally recommend it! Thanks, Marie! read more

What a wonderful experience! Marie replied to my text to schedule promptly and was easy to communicate with. Finding the location was easy via the app on my phone. When I arrived, Marie gave a safety briefing as we had a young girl on our ride. She was very good about making the instructions simple. The best part was the horses. They were healthy and well taken care of. I rode Casey. Aka Casey the Cadillac. She was sure footed, required minimal instruction, had little interest in tailgating, and seemed to enjoy my chatting to her and petting her. Marie's assistant was a pleasure. She rode behind me and we chatted on and off from the beginning. Very easy conversation. The history of the land and horseback riding is interesting and Marie shared it when I asked. The trails were nice with some uphill and downhill vs walking in a straight flat line of horses. This place will stay on my list of places to revisit when I'm in town again! read more

My teenage daughter wanted to do a trail ride while we were visiting the area. I emailed and then texted with Marie and we found a time for her to join in with another family of 5. My daughter had a great experience and felt they gave great instructions. She enjoyed the ride, was happy to get a scenic picture of herself on Patriot, and thought Marie, her daughters (?) and the horses were all very friendly. If only we were staying in the area longer, my daughter would have loved to go again! read more

I wanted to go horseback riding for my birthday and I'm so glad I found this place. I've done it in NY on quaint little trails. Here I did a 90 minute tour and it was so much fun - and it was only about $50 for the ride (plus tip which I was more than happy to give). I got to ride Sheba and we got along well. We walked through the woods and the scenery was gorgeous, I enjoyed the whole trail on that sunny day. At the end of the ride I was allowed to feed my horse snacks too, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We were 3 people in total and we had 2 guides, 1 person to lead in the front and 1 to remain in the back. They gave us a quick refresher course on commands and I felt I was in good hands. I would love to revisit the stable, and maybe try riding on a different horse. read more

Family-owned business that is well put together and provided a beautiful ride. I could have done without the owners overly- boisterous daughter that was loud the entire ride. The owner brought her dog along as well. Which would have been fine if it weren't intentionally trying to antagonize the horses. As novice riders, having your horse get spooked and jump up because of the family pet, is frightening. read more

GREAT location and beautiful trails. Marie and Brian, the owners, came out on the ride with us, and they were very helpful all along the way. The tails are challenging for a beginner (which both of us on the ride were) but totally doable. The horses were well behaved and friendly. At the end of the ride we got the opportunity to take off the horses' saddles if we wanted (we did) and give them a treat. The owners DO TAKE CREDIT CARDS, even though their flyer says they don't. I felt completely comfortable, had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend Bear Mountain Stables to anyone. read more

Great place to ride! Our group had 3 kids (all had ridden before but are inexperienced) and 3 adults (1 with lots of experience 2 beginner). The horses were well mannered and well cared for. Marie and Maddie, our guides were terrific. They took good care of all our riders and were very friendly. The trails were beautiful and well maintained. Don't hesitate to try this stable for your next ride! read more

My boyfriend and I came out for a trail ride over the weekend. Unfortunately, the sky dumped 10 inches of snow on the ground which made for a very muddy environment during our original appointment, but Marie and her staff were super accommodating and let us reschedule for a day later so the ground was much drier and better. We loved loved loved our trail ride! The horses are well trained, but not so broke that they aren't responsive to cues. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Bear Mountain Stables has a horse for you! All of the staff were very personable and friendly, it was like riding with my sister and mom. I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends when they come to visit! read more

Arranged a bit last minute for my nephew 15, who had never ridden and niece 17 who had done Indiana "flatland" riding for a taste of Colorado riding. Marie gave great instructions to Jordan who rode Snickers and Michelle who rode Sheba and I brought up the rear on Justin as an experienced rider. The "sunset" tour was outstanding! The terrain was beautiful and rugged, the wildlife spotting was great along with Muffin the dog. Michelle spotted a bull elk and a couple of deer. Jordan gained confidence as Marie kept a good eye on him and "challenged " him a bit with walk to trot combinations. At the hour mark Marie asked if they wanted to do more and "Yes!" came from both mouths. I will definitely be back bring any visitors and locals alike as this ranks among the best rides I have done in Colorado in terms of the guide, the terrain, the temperment of the horses. Jordan (formerly shy and hardly spoke unless spoken to now has blossomed on this trip) was smiling all thru dinner at JJ Madwells down the hill saying he would like to come back for another vacation and he wants to ride again! Big firsts: airplane ride, Rockies game, rafting, ziplining, apline slide/chairlift ride, being in the mountains and riding real horses. Thank you Marie for boosting his confidence and this trip of firsts for Jordan and we will see you again soon. Great ride, great prices, great terrain, great horses, great guide, great dog. read more

My daughter and I had a great experience. We were both beginners and I loved the way they taught us and encouraged us along the way. I can't wait to return. read more

We went on an hour trail ride and everyone loved it. Marie was terrific with the kids and the horses were gentle and easy to ride. Beautiful day to get out in the mountains and see some wildlife. Highly recommend!!! read more

A week ago I visited Bear Mountain Stables while on vacation. Marie made my riding experience so memorable. The adventure started out with a short tutorial on horse riding an safety. The information was informative and helpful when we were on the trail. The horse I was paired with had a fun lively personality. It was clear that the horse was treated well and healthy. Marie led us on a trail that led through the picturesque mountains of Colorado. While on the ride, Marie made conversation and made me feel at ease. I appreciated that the ride lasted for an hour just as advertised.? When I vacation again in Colorado, I will definitely return to Bear Mountain Stables. read more
