Called to reserve a sleigh ride for my wife and myself. The lady was very nice and got us in the same day. We arrived and were greeted promptly. Sean, his wife, and their crew were outstanding. They are very nice and accommodating. Roy was our driver. He was very nice and so funny! We had a great time and highly recommend going there! read more

Bucks Livery - Nice horses! - Horseback Riding Near Me - Durango, Colorado

We had a great experience overall! Our guides were very nice and laid back. The trail we did was gorgeous. The only thing I would change is it would have been nice to get a little more instruction before we hit the trail, what to expect, do's and don'ts etc. If you're a complete newbie, I would recommend asking a lot questions before you hit the trail. We would definitely do it again. read more

Bucks Livery - This is from about the halfway point of the half day ride. Absolutely beautiful scenery! - Horseback Riding Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Updated review: The owners were very understanding on our concerns. They made it right and are working on updating their website to clarify expectations. Our two kids did the pony ride. The wranglers were very good with the kids and the animals were all very well cared for. They don't have saddles designed for younger/shorter riders but it was perfect for my tall 5 year old. They loop your child around the corral only because they are no longer able to do the ponds. It is a good way to get them familiar with horses. read more

Amazing horse sleigh ride in the snow! The guide was very patient even though we were a bit late due to misunderstanding on a meeting spot. He kindly bundled us up in layers of blankets, offered to take pictures on number of occasions both off and in the horses, took us around on the sleigh with a pleasant & informative conversations throughout. It was snowing and with a three year old who wasn't a very happy camper so I was sure how this will go but in a magical moment the leader foggier excitedly took off and her "kisses" started the horses, alas! She was a completely excited and extremely happy camper! My hubby and the munchkin got to ride in the front with the guide and "drive" too! I wish the tour was longer! I never wanted it to end! So magical and amazing experience AND it wasn't very expensive. $45 per adult and $35 per child was nothing for this unforgettable experience!!! He said they have a pony/goat/donkey... I don't rem what he said but some other ride my munchkin would be able to do in the spring/summer. I can't wa to go back to Durango for another magical vacation!! And to think I only stumbled upon this when I wa frantically trying to find a fun activity to replace the original plan of going tubing (found out it wasn't open on weekdays)... What a blessing in disguise!! Thank you!! We WILL be back! read more

We are in our 70's so we did a private two hour ride today. What a hoot! Our horses (Morgan and Chief) were steady and sure footed. Our lady wrangler was very friendly and gave us a brief horseback riding 101 prior to hitting the trail on our steeds. read more

What a wonderful way to see the Durango Mountain area. My guide, Henry, was excellent. He not only lead us safely down the trail, he also talked a lot about the horses that were rode and the area that we trail rode. Very scenic! I haven't been horseback riding in a number of years but my horse Chief was very cautious and steady. I would highly recommend a trail ride with Buck's Livery. read more

We loved it! The view is beautiful and everyone was so nice! One our favorite thing we did as family!

We had a blast today thanks to Sean and Lilly and the Buck's Livery team. I highly recommend it. We have a family with 2 boys ages 8 and 12 and they loved it. Our guides were the best and really catered to our group. Our kids loved it and can't wait to do it again. They were able to fit our large family group into their schedule and everyone loved it. read more

My 11-year-old daughter and I booked a last minute trail ride with Bucks Livery, and we're so glad we did! We had an amazing 1 1/2 hour trail ride (we booked a 2 hour ride but all in all the ride was about 1 1/2) though gorgeous scenery. Our guide Emmie was so personable and made sure to interact with everyone in the group. She took us on a great ride and was knowledgeable about the area and the landscape we were riding through. The horses were all very easy going and comfortable on the trail and the stable hands were very welcoming. read more

My sister, niece and I took a 2 hour ride with Aaron & we had a first time rider on our hands! My niece was excited but nervous about being on such a big animal, and everyone made her feel so special (and safe)! They made sure her helmet was on tight & that she was secure on her horse. We went through some of the most beautiful terrain in Durango, past a lake, saw a wolf & a couple of deer, and had many opportunities to take pictures. Aaron was very knowledgeable and personable as well. What an unforgettable experience! The entire staff was warm and welcoming & we appreciated feeling right at home. We will definitely be back for a sleigh ride this winter! read more

Conveniently located across from Purgatory resort. Excellent service and our guide was a ton of fun and shared local history during our one hour ride. Beautiful views. Gamble the dog herded is along and was a great companion. Excellent for all skill levels. read more

Wow, what a great time. Run efficiently, great staff, beautiful horses, and best scenery. My kids said they want to be married here when we finished. Riding under the giant aspens is something you won't forget. We did the two hour ride and next time we will ask to ride longer. read more

My friend her daughter and my grandson had a wonderful sleigh ride with Aaron and Eldon. Due to a snow shortage, we did a 30 minute loop. The children thought it was spectacular. The guides were very friendly and allowed the children to take pictures on the horse. read more

We had an amazing time. I went with my mom and niece and nephew ages 11 and 15. The animals are well cared for and the grounds were great. The views are spectacular and the staff was outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone is looking to do some horseback riding. Our guide Aaron was very knowledgable. He took the time to take our pictures and taught us some much about the area. read more

Excellent family ride, very kid friendly, took the 2 ht ride but the scenery was so amazing we wanted to go longer. Friendly staff and great well trained horses read more

We rode at Buck's Livery today and wow, what a beautiful and fun ride! My friend and I did a "special" ride and were placed on horses that perfectly matched our skill levels. One of the owners, Ben, was working when we arrived and he was friendly and helpful. Our guide was enthusiastic and our horses were obviously well taken care of and up for anything. I would recommend Bucks livery to any level of rider- from people getting into the saddle for the first time to experienced riders. Buck's has something for everyone! read more

My bf and I had a half day "special ride" for just the 2 of us. I have ridden a lot but my bf is a novice. They took care of us, picked appropriate horses for our skill levels, and the wrangler was great (friendly, but allowed some silence to enjoy the scenery too). Most importantly the horses are very well cared for. I'd recommend Buck's for anyone! read more

Fabulous two hour trail ride for six city slickers from Brooklyn NY -- including two 16-year-old boys and two 50+ women with hip problems! Cassandra and Vinnie were fantastic, patient, and fun. Horses were gentle and beautiful. We called at 9AM and were on the trail by 11. Call first for directions though because the map is wrong -- the stables are actually 300 yards NORTH of Purgatory resort on the right side of the street. read more
