It is well used by walking visors as well as cyclists on mountain bikes. We walked along the Meadowlark Trail, from the start point almost to the crest of the hill. We were part of a group led by a member of the Open Space Board, accompanied by a retired CU biology presser who spoke to us about the wild flowers we were seeing. It was a bit warm and windy today and near the end of the spring native flower season. It was quite dry already. If you want to in a self guided way, I would suggest several weeks earlier. Though if you go too early there will be mud, I learned from some locals. Share the trail , there are plenty of bikes and they were all courteous riders and we stepped aside for them too. A very nice place to visit. The trailhead has a bathroom facility and also serves the Coalton Trail which runs both east and west from the trailhead. It is clearly marked at the traffic circle on McCaslin.

At this location you will find a parking lot, a small pavilion, and a restroom. A primitive dirt and gravel trail starts here and traverses through many open fields and has a easy to medium difficulty level depending on your fitness level. The Coalton trail also connects with many other trails that lead to more rough and rocky terrain that heads down to Boulder. This is popular with hikers and mountain bikers.

Horses are well cared for, stalls are bedded with a generous amount of shavings, feed stuffs are high quality. If something breaks (as happens around horses) it is very quickly addressed. ARS has been nothing but a great experience for us. For me, one of best features about ARS is an almost complete lack of drama. People are there to enjoy their horses, not to engage in gossip and junior high foolishness. Kathleen McPhaul, one of several trainers at the facility was the subject of a negative review for ARS on this site. If you are interested in working with Kathleen I would encourage you to look at her website and look at her nearly fourth year body of work, and don't over focus on the one review from a clearly unbalanced person. Kathleen is a very effective and accomplished trainer and instructor. She has long time customers who have become friends, and have reached goals and won competitions along the way. If you are a fit for her program, you will both have a great experience with your horse. If you need a place to enjoy your horses I hope to meet you at ARS.

If I could give more stars I would. Emily Honeyman as a manager goes above and beyond the call of…read moreduty. She's out there in the dead of cold to care for a clients sick horse or breaking waters that have frozen. She maintains all the rings multiple times per week. During the recent barn break-ins she offered solutions for parking to keep the clients safe. If you need extra food for your horse, she has your back. My horses have never looked better and are very happy. The board is quite affordable and the amenities are huge. I've paid more at other barns and had to use portable bathrooms. The kitchen is not only heated but has a real bathroom. It makes me sad when trainers who come there to build their business end up being untruthful and don't pay their bills. It's not ok for the clients of those trainers to then leave very rude reviews. There are plenty of clients there that have been residents for MANY years and they are loyal to this barn including two large animal vets that spend so much of their time at the barn attending to the resident horses! If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy quality time with your horse, or to have your horse in training with one of the trainers at the facility, have open space to retire an old friend, or have a box stall with a run (with self care options) this is your place and if Emily isn't available to personally give you a tour then she will find one of the friendly staff members to fill in.

I searched "horseback riding lessons near Superior, CO" and Flatirons Equestrians came up. After…read morelooking over the website, I thought this place would be a good fit. $45/lesson and if you buy a 10-pack, $42/lesson. Not bad. I called and left a voicemail and heard back from Trish pretty quickly. We had a pleasant conversation about why I wanted to take some lessons, what I needed to get started, and when I could start. Unfortunately Trish had not updated her website in YEARS and lessons are actually $50/each. Kind of annoying, but whatever. I can forgive a ranch lady for not having an excellent and updated website. The week I was supposed to start, we started getting temperatures in the negatives and snow - not ideal. She texted me to let me know it would be too uncomfortable to ride. No problem. I texted for the following week to see if I could ride. No response. I've texted 3 separate times to check in about when I could come in. No response. I'm sorry but I'm about to drop $500 on this place - $500 in Trish's pocket and she can't even return a call? Or text me back? I am a prospective buyer! Yesterday I decided I would drive by to check the place out before I dropped $500 here. Not unusual to see a disheveled appearance for a place with horses. I called and left a voicemail and STILL haven't heard. I will not be spending my money or my time here. Too many red flags and not enough integrity unfortunately.

Signed our boys up for a 5-day summer camp at Flatirons Equestrian and they were very excited for…read morethis. However, from the first moment something seemed off about this place. Versus greeting new campers on the first day, Trish took almost 20 mins after the advertised start time to come out from her house and greet anyone, while people were waiting with their children. Day 1 the boys spent the majority of the day picking up manure and hay and very little riding. While I fully expected them to be taught how to take care of a horse as part of the experience, they rode for less than 45mins each. Also, it seemed that the young girls who were "camp counselors" were more interested in delegating of chores rather than trying to teach, instruct or create an atmosphere that was enjoyable for the campers. It is possible that our boys were the only ones who are not enjoying the camp, but I was concerned by the fact that it seemed like the young girls were the ones they are mainly interacting with, and not much adult oversight, as Trish spent an inordinate amount of time inside her home and not out with the campers. The "camp counselors" were picking and choosing who could ride when and it seemed there was no attempt to give everyone equal turns riding the horses. Since they are landlocked, you were essentially limited to a horse pen. Day 2, the boys didn't want to go back to camp, but with some encouragement they did and it was a complete rinse and repeat of Day 1, except for when the weather turned to rain and they just sat inside looking at each other. After Day 2, I sent an email to Trish asking to have a conversation with her to help set my expectations of what campers were doing all day and followed this up with a phone call / voicemail. The boys did not attend the rest of the week. There was never a call saying there were missed and to see if they were ok. It wasn't until day 4 when she returned my call and left me a voicemail. I promptly called her back and left a voicemail, with no response from her ever again. I had ask for a partial refund in the second voicemail I left for her, again, no response, no refund, and was left feeling very disappointed with Trish, the camp and the counselors. At a minimum, after spending $450 per child for the week, I would have expected a conversation to understand our dissatisfaction. Sadly, I have to say this place was horrible experience for our boys and very, very disappointing experience for us.

We both have experience with this company from rafting the Upper Salt River in AZ. Unfortunately the water levels didn't cooperate but, the rafting company modified the itinerary to give us the best possible adventure possible. Day upper upper Browns Canyon which led to class I've and the use of duckies. Operation am not a fan but, half of our group loved them. We were then driven 1.5 hours away for our dinner and tent camping (3 miles from our put in). Ryan and Eric our guides cooked a great meal and catered to the group. We awakened to a mist and heavy fog, which we were served pancakes and sausages for a warm breakfast, and let's not forget hot coffee. We then departed at 8:30 for our trip down the Royal Gorge were we hit class in rapids, lots of class 3s, great geology, good company, lots of fun and a great experience. Ryan our lead guide and Eric did a great job for 2 days of providing us a great experience and memories. You have many choices but from a personal experience this is the best company to deal with. We are already planning next year's multi day trip.
