The setting was lovely, the horses were well-trained, and our guide was informative and friendly. We called the day before to see if there was availability and spoke with Perry. He was able to put us down for a 2-hour ride and informed us that they haven't received their credit card reader yet, so I made sure to have cash. One thing I forgot, and deeply regret, is to have enough for a tip as well. We arrived at their wonderful property shortly before 4:00. Lynn was there to greet us and had our horses ready to go after the waivers were signed. She got us all on a horse and adjusted the stirrups efficiently. She is a no-nonsense lady and I admire that. She gave us a bit of instruction and then off we went! We rode along the road for a little bit before turning onto some land by a picturesque lake. Lynn's sweet dog tagged along and provided a laugh when she ran and jumped into the lake. Shortly after, we made it onto Nation Forest property. With the exception of the road to and from the main property, Lynn took us on a varied path. We rode on dirt road in the forest, then cut through trees, up hills, across a culvert, up some pipeline area, and into meadows and back to the lake. The views were wonderful and the peace of the whole ride spectacular. There was one area of trees that felt particularly peaceful and Lynn turned back to tell me how she loved riding through them just as I was feeling the same. It was my favorite part, as if there was a special energy in that spot. Overall, we had a wonderful ride. Getting off the horse after 2 hours was the hard part; I definitely felt like I was walking like a cowboy. :-) It was a highlight of our trip. Someday, we would like to come back and do a breakfast or dinner ride.

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.
