Since then we have made leaps and bounds of progress in a way that has worked for both me and my horse. Claire is very mindful and aware of both horse and riders needs. Her main focus is keeping the horses happy - which is imperative in a sport where these animals so graciously lend us their wings. I can't say enough good things about our lovely team. Very grateful to have finally landed at a facility where mine and my horses needs are being met.

She, and her assistants Alex Heimann and Emily Watson, are knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic, and kind. Every horse and rider is cared for with the utmost attention to detail. The years of dedication that these women have invested in horses is apparent at every level. I have learned more in two years of riding with FRSS than I have in the prior 40 years of owning and riding horses. I have felt like family since first walking through Claire's door - her positive approach to coaching puts even to most anxious rider at ease, and the comprehensive approach to horse care keeps every mount at their best and most comfortable.

The kid wanted to do horseback riding since that has become a "tradition" when we are in Estes…read moresince she was 2 years old. We went to one place and they had a defined schedule for rides and were all booked. So drove over the Sombrero and were able to get a horse right away. We like Sombrero because horseback riding is "on demand." They don't have a set schedule. You get a horse whenever you are ready. They have great flexibility. Not only can you leave on the guided tour on your schedule, they offer different lengths of time. In July 2026, $50 for 30 minutes, $100 for an hour, and $135 for 2 hours. Cost is per person. There are longer trips too but I did not pay attention to that pricing. The kid and wife did 1 hour and really enjoyed it. Age requirement is 6 and up for a horse. They also have pony rides for kids under 6. The guides tend to be college kids who work for tips so be sure to tip them. Everyone who works here is super nice and friendly. The horses seem to be well cared for and happy. We were very pleased with the experience and undoubtedly will return the next time we are in Estes.

It's worth the hike up for your kids to have experiences you won't be able to find anywhere else in the world with life long core memories that build good character. I HIGHLY recommend enrolling your kids here even if it's for one week day camp, or a focus group. I also LOVE that it's been operating for over 70 years by the same family running it today. You won't find anywhere else that has not only a turn key, organized, professional establishment but that's run by heart, soul, love for the outdoors, community, respect for one another, and tradition. It's also a great place to have your wedding or any special event!!

The owners Lynn and Mike are incredibly easy to work with. All the staff are well trained and very attentive to the children and help stretch their comfort zone in fun challenging activities. This year camp was cancelled due to COVID-19. As an alternative, CMR has been hosting single family activities to ensure social distancing. We took the opportunity to do this and we had a blast. As parents, we really didn't know much about how the kids spent their time on the ranch. Spending time up there made me feel like a kid again. The staff made the whole experience fun and easy. The measures that CMR are taking to reduce exposure to the virus are as good as any place I've seen. They sanitize every piece of equipment and touch point between each family and keep the flushies sparkling. Oh and hundreds of acres to spread out the guests. After several months of quarantine and more to come, CMR's 2020 family program was much needed. It's also worth mentioning that various special needs grants and scholarships will cover the family program.
