    This ride was Amazing. My 12 year old son and I had never ridden before and we had a blast. Our guide Brad made us feel very comfortable and the horses were awesome. I was a little worried about going up and down the hills but so glad we did. The ride was perfect through some meadows, up and down some hills and through a creek. All while being something beginners can do on these well trained horses. Also the views are Outstanding. We were scheduled for Sunday and they called to let us know the weather was looking better Saturday and fit us in on Saturday instead. We really appreciated this. Brad remembered our names and offered to take a picture of us at the top. The ride started right on time. This is a must do if you are in Billings or Red Lodge.

    Our guide, Brad, and Charly!

All the guys helping us get on our horses were friendly and informative. $40 per person cash only for 1hr. And don't forget to tip your guide. Ours did an amazing job. Levi was our guide that day and he was great! He gave wonderful direction, kept us all together and a good steady pace. If you are a beginner don't worry! You can do this. A young boy was on a horse by himself and he did great and they kept him at the front with the guide. Their horses are well kept, calm, and well trained. This isn't a fast moving horseback ride. You are going up a beautiful trail, that can be steep at certain parts. But don't worry, your guide will stop to let you know about each section and how to prepare for it. For example whether you need to lean back or front, move your legs up to not get scratched by rocks, and more. It made our experience safe and comfortable. These horses are amazing and know the trail. Levi even took pictures for each family at the top. They are amazing! I really loved my horse Cheyenne and trusted her. She was beautiful, sweet and loved snacking here and there on our way up the trail during our stops. Very sweet! Even Levi mentioned that he would trust his 3 year old around any of the horses. Bathroom available on site. Overall I had an amazing experience. It was beautiful!

The workers were incredible to the visitors and incredibly hard working. We rode horses for 3 days and saw some beautiful animals on our ride in the mountains and some amazing views. The cooking was incredible and our whole family enjoyed every second of the vacation. There was an activity for every kind of person. We also got to feed the animals in the morning and meet other animals from the ranch. The living conditions were great as well, every room was clean and spacious. This vacation was incredible in so many ways. We highly recommend this ranch to every family. Thank you Barron Ranch! - The Boutilier's

My partner attempted to get on the horse and the horse collapsed with him on its back. We were repeatedly told that the horse was fine and was still okay to ride. They lied. We trusted professionals to ensure our safety and the safety of their own horses. I have videos of the horse ride showing the horse constantly bobbing its head up and down. Not knowing much about riding, I still knew that this didn't look right. "Bobbing its head up and down indicates lameness, discomfort, or pain". WHY LET US RIDE THEN?! We were also told that this exact horse had 10 rides the day before, including someone who weighed up to almost 400lbs. HOW IS THAT HUMANE?! Why do other companies have weight limits and this one does not? If someone is too big for the horse, MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T BE RIDING THAT POOR HORSE TO BEGIN WITH! Knowing that my money contributed to the pain and suffering of these horses is killing me. This company should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these horses to live in pain solely for human profit. I would have much rather cancelled this whole experience and received a refund, but instead they let us ride an already badly injured horse. Once this horse can't take it anymore, they will likely just break another's back. If you truly love horses, this is not the place to spend your money. Please contact Paintbrush Adventures instead! I went there after my terrible experience here and I actually learned so much about horseback riding and safety!
