We (59/ 57 yo old couple) chose the Kettle Crest Trail due to the vista, location, and this ride…read morewas head and shoulders above our other rides in quality, duration and difficulty! It is NOT for the faint of heart. The trails are mostly narrow with steep drop-offs (ie no two tracks), but the horses handle it beautifully, and at the end of the day you will likely say "Wow!". The Schertenleib's were on time and ready to go as scheduled. The location is well-marked and easy to find using their instructions. They gave a short introduction for new riders, and pick the horses to match the riders ability and experience. The horses appeared to this newbie to be healthy and very well-trained. Blaze and Frankie were our mounts, and they were fantastic Rosie led the ride, which lasted ~4-1/2 hours roundtrip through very rugged and remote terrain. Temperatures were in the mid 90's which likely resulted in not seeing any wild game. Approximately 2/3 of the way through the ride there is a 20-30 minute rest time at a remote cabin (available for rent from the state). Anything you bring will be limited to whatever you can fit into a small saddlebag, so pack lightly. We highly recommend True West Trail Rides, and we are looking forward to riding with them again!

It was so much fun to walk through the many different terrains on the different trails. We ended at the iconic bridge and played around in the river for a bit to cool down. The river was so serene and we saw lots of ducks, geese and fish. I highly recommend this trail! My only warning would be to make sure you bring water and watch it if you're allergic to bees because there were a lot of bees attracted to the water.

It was a perfect mix of a little uphill, downhill, very scenic with the mountain views. The horses were well behaved and we had a pretty big group too. The kids rode up front behind our trail guide and then my husband and I were behind them. My stepdaughter who's 11 had Gravy who was such a well-trained horse. She barely had to steer. I had Emmy Lou and she also was amazing, barely had to steer her. My husband had Shiner who took every opportunity to eat which was funny. Our trail guide was great! We also met the owner who was really nice. They have a lot of horses. Overall, highly recommend this horseback riding trail!

Jen was the old owner of Spokane Trail Rides and she was AMAZING, cared for her animals and took…read morecare of her clients! She has SO MANY reviews that arnt even posted. BUT I am writting this review because the- NEW OWNERS -Kat (Katilina Edmunds and Curtis Edmunds) should NOT board horses, be trusted with ANY KIND of Animals!!! None. They dont feed, they didnt listen to Jen on how the feeding should be continued. They didnt feed Angel the draft horse that passed because they didnt keep her diet going. These new owners are full of lies. We have PROOF of Testimonies from lots of people witnessing themselves of starving animals. Not keeping up with water for the animals. She frauded 20 people that I know about, could be way more. With the amounts she owes. So fraud. Animals malnourished and a Handful of animals passed as well before and After (Scraps) came out for them. Its so sad. I hope you take this review and make your own judgements. We have SO MUCH PROOF from many others. Not just Jen the old owner. I do hope they seize operations. ASAP!!!!!! THEY REBRANDED TO Hangman Ranch Boarding and trail riding. They wont show documents Jen " supposedlysigned and its looking like nore fraud but forgery!!!" Not good!!! They can come off nice, talk shit, behind your back, treat workers like shit, act like they know what they are doing, have a lie about Everything. TAKE 0 ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EVERYTHING. Its wild. This is a recommendation. No one made me write this at all. Do not board with them. Horse riding lessons. Trail rides. Give them animals. If you pay online she Will and Did cancel alot on people and Did not pay them back. Stopped all communication. And doesnt ever reschedule. And calls it (Non refundable) or the animals.......

We spoke to both the horse people and the owner of CDA adventures about getting a "rain check" and rescheduling. Both CDA Adventures and the horse people denied us. They wouldn't reschedule, refund nor partial refund. They gave no solutions, they just took our money. This was the supposed to be the first of many adventures we planned with CDA Adventures. But now we won't have any. Instead we've now removed "the middleman" and will be scheduling with these "adventure" companies directly.

The Stable is immaculately clean, the horses happy and well behaved. Edward is a superb horseman of the old fashioned sort who thoroughly understands horses and how to get them to perform at their peak with a willing happy attitude. He teaches driving and riding. In short, if you want to increase your riding skills, while knowing your horse will be expertly cared for Morris Stables is the place for you!

Edward and Kathi Morris are passionate about Saddlebreds and love to share their knowledge about them. In addition to being a master at showing and training riders and horses to top honors at horse shows in the U.S. and Canada--as a trainer, Edward is patient, focused, encouraging, and sensitive to a rider's needs. He wants his riders to succeed, whether it be ultimately to show or to just enjoy the ride. The horses are exceptionally well taken care of; the stables and arena are clean, safe and well lit; and there is a great variety of tack.
