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.

They treat their horses VERY well and this should be very important to you, as a rider and a decent human being. These horses are loved and very well cared for. Each trail leader we've had has commented on the high level of care that Ann gives these horses and it shows. Every horse we've ridden has been a great, happy horse. 2. Ann empowers women and girls. The majority of employees at Rapp are women and that's not an accident. Ann also has younger girls come volunteer their time to learn how to work the corral and take care of the horses. Very cool. 3. Their location- right by Haviland Lake and across from the gorgeous red cliffs. Yes, they just burned this summer, but there is still plenty of beauty to behold in that area. Do yourself and your family a favor and ride at Rapp. It is quality fun all the way around.

Upon arrival, the young lady checked their booking schedule and let us know that they had a cancellation earlier that day and a cabin on the river was available. She said she wanted to do one last walk through to ensure it was cleaned and ready before we checked in. Thank goodness it was good to go. It was super cute, incredibly clean, and surprising spacious... even if it was just my husband and I. We got the deluxe cabin, so it had a queen-sized bed on the first floor and another bed in the loft area. This would have been even more perfect for a family with kiddos. Either way, sitting on the back porch listening to the river and the birds chirping was pretty darn relaxing. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom and shower were a good size. All in all, great place to stay! Their location falls right between Telluride and Dolores, Co. We would definitely stay here again.

Fresh air, good food, comfortable beds, exercise, horses and great people. Cannot say enough good things about this ranch. I was especially impressed with their commitment to the welfare of the animals, checking them over every day, and making their health and wellbeing a priority. Many of the staff there have worked for animal rescue and humane societies in the past and it shows in the care of their horses - the horses are well fed, in good condition, sweet and gentle. The place is clean and well cared for - everything was perfect. We cried when we had to leave.
