What an unforgettable family adventure! My wife and our two daughters enjoying a peaceful horseback…read moreride through a magnificent winter wonderland in the mountains. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking -- a crisp, snow-covered trail winding through tall pine trees under a brilliant blue sky with perfect fluffy clouds. The weather was ideal: sunny, calm, and just cold enough to make it feel like a true winter escape without being uncomfortable. Huge shoutout to our incredibly patient and helpful tour guide who made the entire experience smooth, safe, and enjoyable for everyone (especially first-timers). She was fantastic with the horses and kept the ride relaxed and fun the whole way. Highly recommend this experience for families looking to create lasting memories together. 10/10!

This was our first time ever riding horses, and the experience was really good. This looks like a…read morefamily-owned business, which honestly made the experience even better for me. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The horses are well trained and follow each other since they already know the trail, but they still respond to commands like go and stop, and you can steer them left or right if you want. That made us feel comfortable even as first-time riders. The only area I think could be improved is having a small practice area for brand-new riders to learn the basics before heading out on the trail. Other than that, everything was amazing. The ride was about an hour long and very enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back!

This was my first time here and I've never ridden a horse in my life so I was a little nervous…read moreabout riding a horse by myself. I was extremely nervous that my horse might be startled by something and take off or even worse, get on its hind legs and cause me to fall off. Fortunately, none of that happened. All of their horses seem highly trained and well-behaved. It also helped seeing young kids on the horses by themselves. The Adventure Trail Rides are great for almost everyone. Beginners, experienced riders, young kids, and seniors. I've seen kids as young as 5-10 years old (I'm not great at guessing kids' ages) all the way to super seniors adults. Based on your reservation and check-in details, they will match you up with a suitable horse that matches your height and experience level. Most of the staff are friendly and very helpful. For the most part, they made me feel really safe. I also like their system of operation. After checking in at the barn, you select your helmet. Then when it's time, they call you up and introduce you to your horse. Before the trail ride, a staff member will provide you with a brief lesson on how to maneuver the horse and ride safely. After that, they really give you complete control of your horse. The trails offer plenty of shaded areas, which is great for those of us who prefer to avoid the sun's harsh rays. Gotta keep those wrinkles at bay! Lots of parking and parking is free. I had an amazing experience and plan to return so my super senior mom can finally try riding a horse. My only minor complaint is that I didn't receive the appropriate care and training that my friends did because my trainer is deaf. While I understand that he has communication limitations, he was not very friendly or patient. Perhaps management could assign another person to check in on him if they pair him with a beginner or simply just pair him with an experienced rider. I was quite nervous and if I weren't for my friend who is experience in riding, I would have been much more anxious. Note: You MUST wear denim jeans to ride and reservation is required. Reserve online on their website.

Came here for the first time for a trail ride with a group of strangers, for a solo date on a…read moreSaturday afternoon. I missed the exit to turn into to get to the ranch, I may have missed the sign on the road, but my GPS eventually got me there, lol Upon arrival there's plenty of parking. The email has super specific instructions for your arrival. Including arriving 30 minutes before your ride time. I got there about 20 minutes beforehand and that was plenty of time. If you come with a group belive entire party has to be present to check in together. $68 bucks for a group ride rate per person. If you miss the email or forget all of the steps just look for the check in desk and they will go over everything. You must wear a helmet to ride, for your protection. And they offer free bandanas to protect your hair (and for sanitary reasons) from the helmet, that was nice. They match up the horse with each individual, I think based on height and weight. That takes about 15 min to get everyone matched and saddled up for the ride. The trail is covered by trees in the forrest, but it's still hot out in the elements, so be sure to hydrate before and after. Pro's -Quality time to get to know your horse before and after the ride - zero riding experience required, but does help -staff for most part friendly, willing to take pics for you in and off the horse - children, and special needs folks are welcome Cons - possible emergencies will cut your ride short - riding instruction only given to the front of the large group not the back - ride may not start on time, so give yourself extra cushion time if you make time sensitive plans after. Tip not required, bur encouraged. Overall a fun experience. But may do a private ride in future to get more detailed and intimate instructions. Enjoy!

A bit indecisive about giving them a three star or four star. As you can see four won, because of…read morethe price, and in the end I will be back. It's my second time to 2E Stables. Every year, for my daughters birthday I take her somewhere new for an hour ride. Last year we were in Jamaica for her ride, but the year before, it just happen to be our first time to 2E Stables. Two years ago the price was just as affordable as it was today. Except then, they were located in the Huntsville State Park. At Huntsville our group was deep, our guides were men who were very attentive. Helped us getting up on our horse. By help, I'm not mad, they pushed us up with both their hands all up on our bum. Reminds me of "Friends", the Joey scene regarding the tailor. I'm Joey, "That's how it's done, tell him Ross." You guys can be Ross "Why yes, yes it is,..... In prison." They helped me, then they helped a friend same way except more force and she ended up on the floor on the other side of the horse. We were all frightened at first but after a few minutes, we couldn't stop laughing. We still can't stop laughing at the thought of it. Maybe it's just me. New location is less then ten minutes from Huntsville State Park. The ride is not as scenic. They have a very sweet friendly young lady checking you in, then she takes you out on the ride. Doesn't grab your derrière but is very helpful in getting everyone on the horse! She's very quiet. I'm used to the guides always being much more entertaining, which I don't mind. Sometimes though they can be bothersome, so it was nice she just let us ride and chat among ourselves. The inexpensive price will bring us back, once or twice more. Only $35 bucks, still unbeatable, and still cash only. Take the good with the bad! It's called balance.

Words can't describe our experience with this ranch!!!…read more Darrell was fantastic to help me coordinate this surprise ride for my sisters birthday and my nephews to go for the first time. Our ride was stunning across the fields and trails on the ranch. And they even picked up my dad in the 4-wheeler to feed the cows while we were horse riding so he felt he could be a part of the day (we had purchased feed for the cows ahead). The entire family enjoyed the ride itself, the guides helped us take photos. Next time we would consider staying in the cabins on the ranch. Thank you a million times, it was worth the further drive for the experience itself!!!

I came here for a wedding and stayed on the property. We were flying in and arrived late at night…read more(or should I say early in the morning...3am) and it was no problem getting in as there is a code on the locked gate. The driveway was dark, but the cabins were well lit and don't lock. We stayed in one of the 4 identical cabins. The accommodations were nice and had a loft upstairs with two twins. It is a steep ladder and great for kids, but not for adults. The decor was western and featured some taxidermy. This scared some of the little kids we knew at the wedding. The bathroom and main bedroom were a decent size and the kitchenette had a mini fridge and coffee machine, along with the living area with a small TV and chairs/small couch. The grounds were beautiful and was a true farm. The pool was great for the kids and the waterfall made it feel fancy. I loved the open greenery and the animals that roamed, along with the ponies and goats that you could get close to. There is a covered pavilion near the pool that was a hang out spot for our crew. The wedding itself was in the grass next to the reception venue, since it was too wet to have it down in the pasture. The reception venue was large and had high ceilings. The food was pretty good and the two outdoor firepit areas right outside became a place for guests to step out as well. Parking is in a grass lot so beware the shoes you where, especially if it has rained recently.
