They are both very friendly people and Laura cares greatly about the horses. Our trail guide was Molly, a young woman who boards her horse at the farm and does competitions. Molly was extremely friendly and carried my camera the entire ride so she could take photos of my boyfriend and I. The horses are extremely well-trained and great for my boyfriend who was riding a horse for the first time. The pricing is very reasonable at $40 per person per hour. Even though we were 15 minutes behind schedule, we weren't rushed at all and Molly even went over the hour limit. It was a very gorgeous ride through the property of the farm - woods & field. Highly recommended!

Thank you very much Laura and his colleagues, each one of them was very patient explaining to us…read morehow to ride a horse, there is a chance we will come back to play again

We were visiting Montrose and my granddaughter asked if we could go to Owl's Nest for a lesson. I…read moreeasily booked a lesson for all 3 of my grandkids. Kim is a great teacher who praises when praise is warranted and firm when it comes to safety issues and paying attention. I loved that. This isn't your average "pony ride.' My grandkids groomed, sprayed and saddled the horses (with lots of help from Kim, her daughter, and other experienced riders). They learned some riding basics and after the grooming/saddling/instruction, were able to ride by themselves in a large fenced in area. I highly recommend this stable if you happen to be in the area. Call to make an appointment. The rates are very reasonable and Kim gave me a discount for 3 riders.

I'm in love with this stable! I've been trail riding all over for years and Painted Bar Stables…read morewins the Blue Ribbon! Here's why: Erika, the owner, takes the time to learn about each prospective rider before you come so she can pair you with the perfect horse. So be sure and take the time to let them know in the online questionnaire how you are with horses and riding. I'm a confident rider and got a great horse for me where my husband isn't as confident rider and he was paired with a sweet easy going horse, Faye. Actually all the horses are sweet and wonderful. We did a one hour trail ride. The trail was fun - not too challenging and we even got to stop by a beautiful creek so the horses could take a drink. It's absolutely magical & no better way to see the beauty of this region. Now the horses: They are all beautiful, very healthy and thus happy. You can get to know them on the Painted Bar Stables website! Many are rescued and have been revitalized by being in this wonderful place. I can't wait to return.

The website is clear, informative and easy to navigate. The owner, Erika, responded to our ride request personally and promptly. The response was clear and gave us ride time options, which was much appreciated. The booking process was made very easy and stress free. Then we got to the stables! The property is expansive and beautiful. Rolling Hills, gorgeous pastures, shady forest with rivers cutting through it. The horses are phenomenal! It's clear from the first moment that the animals are adored! Exceptionally well taken care of, pampered, and of course it reflects in their tempers! They love their humans and could not have been sweeter to us! Have you ever met a horse who's a hugger? I did today and his name is Sweet Tea! The check-in process was smooth and easy. Even the Gift Shop has some really cute and memorable selections, which is rare! We were a party of 6, 3 adults and 3 kids. Some experienced, some real novices. Our guides, Randall and Zoe were a pleasure from the beginning to end. Zoe - thank you for matching every rider to their horse thoughtfully and perfectly! This young lady must have a sixth sense about human/horse personalities because, as the absolutely delightful owner Erika was describing their wonderful horses, it was sometimes hard to keep track of whether she was talking about the horse or the rider . Randall and Zoe - our guides were respectful, patient, informative, fun, and engaging. They made this experience unforgettable for everyone in the group! Erika stopped by as we were leaving and chatted with us for a while. This wonderful woman is pure joy and a force of nature! She truly loves her horses, staff and customers alike! She talked to us about the horses, their personalities, the stables and our riding experience. Loved meeting her and our guides! Thank you for a fantastic experience! You made all of us so happy! Can't wait to come back again and again!!!

My husband…read moreand I did a one hour trail ride around the property (I think it's around 20 acres) with Linda and Christy (Kristy?) who were both so friendly and helpful. I had gone horseback riding once over the summer, but I am definitely a newbie and Linda guided us on what to do (ex: lean back when going downhill and lean forward when going uphill). I love that we got to walk AND trot and cross streams. My horse Sarge was a former NYPD horse and he was very good and well behaved (although he was quick and ate some grass before I could stop him while on the trail). After we finished, Linda helped take some photos of us and we got to meet the other horses in the stable. I would absolutely recommend coming here!!!

The stable and property is absolutely beautiful and it's not your run of the mill little trek around the property, it's 20 something acres with woods, fields and water to ride through. Bob immediately greeted us upon arrival then we were introduced to Linda, Olivia and the horses. You can tell from the get go how well cared for the horses are and how much they truly love doing what they do. I've been riding most of my life and they are able to match your horse to your level of riding whether it's just starting or intermediate. If you're looking for a personable experience that exceeds expectations, go to Braden Brook. We came here two days in a row and we will most definitely be traveling back here in the near future to ride again and experience the different seasons. Thank you Bob, Linda and Olivia for the experience :) Courtney & John
