We booked the 2-hour ride with Riverman Trail Rides and had a great experience from start to finish. There was just one other couple riding with us, which made it feel more personal and relaxed; not crowded at all. The horses were well-behaved and mostly stayed in their own line, so even if you're not an experienced rider, it's easy to get comfortable pretty quickly. The ride itself takes you through the woods and along dirt roads, with a few inclines and declines mixed in. It's not overly challenging, but it's enough to keep it interesting and give you a good feel for the terrain. We weren't able to cross the river due to all the recent rain, but that's obviously out of their control. Even without that portion, the ride was still worth it. Overall, well run, enjoyable, and something we'd definitely do again the next time we're in the area. read more

This place was incredible. So much so that I returned later in the same week for another ride. Staff was friendly and made us all feel welcomed and comfortable. The horses were well trained for beginners and even with us being more comfortable riding . We rode through a variety of terrain which made for a really fun experience. I can't wait to come back here on our next trip to Oklahoma read more

What an amazing experience! Great ride for 1st time riders. Horses were super gentle and the guides were very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this experience as part of your visit. read more

Absolutely loved the trail and I appreciate the area that have to get on the horses! It made it really easy for someone riding their first time. Only complaint was that I wish they were a bit more attentive in adjusting where our feet went in the stirrups. Overall would recommend and would do it again! read more

We had an excellent experience! Check-in and shop staff were great. The guides had a quiet authority to them. We had 4 kids under 13 and all loved it. It was easy to park and well located. Sort of a long drive considering the short distance it was from our VRBO. Mounting was a breeze with their deck system. My kids loved riding horses through the water. I was nervous about the rain or shine policy but thankfully it didn't rain. There were a couple of tight areas which made the Mamabear in me grind me teeth. I wish they had given the kids a few pointers before we headed to out. The horses sort of have their own pecking order they like to walk in so you won't necessarily always be with your group. Everything worked out and I would book with them again. read more

Great guides, gentle horses, and beautiful trail. It was leisurely and great for first time riders /unexperienced riders.

We had a great trail ride with Riverman Trail rides. The horses knew the drill and things were safe and enjoyable. We did cross the river several times and the water was deep- that freaked out one of my kids who was not expecting to get wet shoes. We would definitely come here again when in town. read more

We had a blast!!! 2 hour trail ride is a must. Careful, you'll forget how to walk after. Highly recommend! read more

The forgoing review is not a review based on an actual experience on a Riverman Trail Ride, but rather a review of their customer service and the standard of belief concerning what is and is not right to do. I called to make a reservation and was unable to reach them, and sent a text message alert the instructions on their voicemail. They returned my call this morning at 10:30 AM. The lady offered an 8 AM trail ride as their only option available, which I understood due to the last minute request to book on my end. I accepted that time and she went over the details and explained there would be a deposit that is non-refundable. At 10:33 we end our call and I immediately remember that my daughter has tele-therapy at 9:30 that day. I immediately, within seconds of hanging up. (picture attached), called her back to let her know I was so sorry and we actually could not take the 8 AM Trail Ride reservation. I asked for a refund of my deposit of $65.00 and she advises me it is non-refundable to which I explained that I made a human error and rectified it within seconds. She advised she had to call her manager for approval and would call me back. She returned my call a bit later and advised they could not issue a refund. I expressed how wrong I believed that to be when she began to speak over me and end the call with "have a nice day". I'm a reasonable person. I completely understand the necessity of having a policy that requires deposits for holding reservations to protect a business against losses. This was not necessary. This company stole from me, my family and my children today. This company used their policy to take advantage of a Mother and wife of a currently deployed US Active Military member, and who is already trying to keep it all together during this impossibly difficult time in our lives. This company has no moral compass, and therefore I would not recommend them to anyone, and would highly advise to take your business elsewhere. read more

FIRST complaint is that they started our tour an hour late. They said the first tour of the day started late...but yet they require you to get there 20mins early.So we ended up waiting an hour and 20mins for our tour to even start due to them not cutting the first tour short like it says on the website they will if you are late. SECOND the guides were pretty unfriendly and seemed like they really didn't care to be there. THIRD the trail ride was really intense for beginners. The horses didn't seem like they were comfortable with the trail and neither was I. I've been on a lot of tours like this in other places and usually they are designed to be easy. The sites are beautiful but prepare for steep up and down hill and deep water for your horses to trot through. There was riders that had little kids (as young as 3) and had to hold onto them through all this. They should be more open with what to expect. FOURTH ** it seemed to me they use the same horses back to back for these one hour tours which is really unfair to the animals. They kept stopping for water when we were near it as I'm sure they hadn't had any in a few hours. We saw them use the same horses as the tour before us for our tour and looked like they were going for one more after us. EDIT: PER the rude reply from the owner to clarify: I arrived at 10:40am for my 11am tour. And they did not begin our tour until 12pm because the people before us ran late. His response that it's not their fault is valid but their website says they will shorten the tour for those that are late and failed to do so. We did not even complain about the place being late I just am noting my experience. I was not rude to anyone there so not sure he must be mixing us up with the group that showed up late. Additionally, I just noted that the intensity of the trip should be noted as far as going up through steep hills and across deep water while people had young kids. read more

Visited during a Bachelorette weekend and wow!! Beautiful horses, gorgeous scenery, attentive and knowledgeable guides (daisy and team)! . Loved the terrain and the personalities of those horses!! The guides knew them all and where they liked to be in the line (there were 14 of us so a large group), they knew them all and even who their horse friends were... it was like a big family! Have already recommended to my family. Would for sure be back if my life leads me back to broken bow area. read more

I very much enjoyed my 2 hour trail ride with this company. The horses looked to be in very good condition and the place is well organized and efficient. You'll go through a large pasture and along an access road and then up a hill to some shady trees before you go down to make a river crossing or two. There's a little trotting but it's mostly easy walking and if it's a nice day like we had, it's a very relaxing way to spend an hour or two up in the woods. Recommended. I'll be back soon read more

Beautiful area to horseback ride! Things to note: We had very young riders in our group, and I feel that a little more attention to them would have been helpful. Some of the horses were a little "frisky". The saddles on two of the horses came loose - on one of them the rider fell as the saddle slipped sideways. The guides were very young (not to say they weren't experienced....just saying.) That being said, I would return for another trail ride in the future as it was relaxing and scenic. read more

Thank you for the ride. We had a blessed experience. It was very peaceful. The horses were real kind and following directions I had three kids and they had a blessed time. Our favorite thing was when we were on top of the mountain, and the west experience was crossing over the river with the horses. read more

Our 6th Annual Girls Trip brought us to Broken Bow this year. We booked a "sweet heart ride" for the 3 of us to ride - stop for wine and cheese - and ride more. We had no idea what to expect but it was FANTASTIC! Cody was a great guide - super friendly, experienced, and fit right into our threesome. He kept us laughing and making jokes that I'm sure had him blushing a time or two... The horses were great - they had awesome personalities and would get into a good trot from time to time - giving us a startle but super fun and perfect! We were looking for more than a slow ride. We had Tattoo, Star & Mickey. Gorgeous horses! We are hoping to come back next month for another ride and will request Cody if possible! read more

Great scenery and hospitality. Britany was a great guild and all the horses were very well trained. We had two of their veterans, Poppy and Star. We will be back when we are in the area again! read more

Beware. They are quite serious about NO refunds. The day before our ride a big thunderstorm came through and it rained on and off most of the day. The forecast for the following day, the day of our scheduled ride, showed a 50% chance of rain. After discussing with my family we decided the weather just wasn't optimum for a trail ride. So I called and asked to cancel because of weather. I was told that they were still planning on riding and I couldn't just cancel "because our plans changed ". Sure enough, when we woke up the next morning it was raining and continued to rain on and off in the day. I still got charged the $65 fee. read more

Our family of 11 just visited Riverman Trail Rides for Spring Break 2021 and it was amazing! Mr. Poppin Johnny is a súper kind & gracious host! All the kids (7 kids total) ages 17, 14, 12, 8, 5, 4 and 3 years old had a blast! The scenery is beautiful! We saw cows, horses, and crossed rivers on the wagon pulled by a tractor. We stopped on a River with rocks of all sizes and crystal clear waters! We highly recommend this 1 hour adventure if you visit Oklahoma. Here are some of the pictures we took on our adventure! read more

I would like to share my recent experience with Riverman Trail rides. First, call with the manager was not pleasant and she is not customer service oriented. I explained to her that I'm going to be in town the week of spring break! Which is March 15th -19th for us. We'll she books me for March 10 when we are not in town. Their confirmation is sent by a text message instead of a email. Get the call saying we have not made it today and of course not! Not scheduled to arrive till the 15th. Well deposit is non refundable. Asked to speak with the manager and would like his name. She refused to give me his name and said their is not much he will do. He called me and said he was not around to witness conversation... Just told him my experience and he really didn't seem to care. I would not recommend this place. Go with another service... read more

The BEST! I have never been on a horse and our guide Cody was amazing!!! He picked out the perfect horse for me and checked on my all the way through the guided trail. It was a beautiful scenic view, we rode to the river where we saw an eagle, we took wooded trails and enjoyed every minute of it! We highly recommend them! Bill & Eva read more

So my sisters & I decided we need to get our kiddos on some horses. This was the closest place to us that was open on a Sunday. I called & spoke to Brandy that was a great help answering all my questions & getting us booked for a 5p reservation. She even text me specific directions to the Ranch We ck'd in, met our horses, loaded up & started off w/ our guide Cody. He was great! Interacting w/ everyone, telling us stuff along the way. Beautiful woods & gorgeous views! We even went across the Glover River! If you're looking to make some great memories, this is the spot Advice: Take waters! Maybe a water/fan spray thingy you can wear around your neck. If you're riding w/ a little that is small enough to sit in front of you on the saddle, take a super soft towel/blanket/etc for them to have some cushion. Bonus: Military Discount read more

We did a girl's trip to Broken Bow and planned to do the 2 hour Trail Ride with Riverman. Leading up to the trip there was a lot of rain in the area. A rep from Riverman called us to inform us that a 2 hour ride wouldn't be possible because of the flooding. Totally understandable and we appreciated the call, so we all opted for the 1 hour, shorter ride. Montana and Austin were our guides and they were awesome. The horses were all healthy and sweet. The scenery was really nice and peaceful. We had a great time and I'd definitely recommend it them anyone. read more

Had a great time out here at the Riverman Trail Ride with my family. It was first time on a horse and everything went smooth and I'd definitely do this again. They were really great at letting us kind of do our own thing, while staying in there with the group of course, but they weren't controlling and telling us to do this or us to do that. This was a fun little spot where we got to enjoy a scenic horse ride while also getting a little play time with their doggos. read more

My family did the sun set ride. it was absolutely beautiful. In our group we had experienced riders so some who had never ridden before. Ages from 18-70. Our front guide and his horse bullseye were amazing. He was very social and we learned a lot about the area. The horses were amazing and was crazy how they all ended up matching our personalities. We will definitely be back next year. read more

To be fair, this place doesn't advertise itself to provide tours. That being said, you get exactly what they say - a trail ride. If you are expecting to hear history of the area, you will likely be disappointed. Now the horses are great and so is the ride. The staff was nice and the location was easy to find. It was a great outing with the kids and their friends. read more

One of their horses bucked me and my daughter off. They said she had never done that before but another person said the horse did it to someone else the week before. The horse we were on was very aggressive and kept trying to get at another horse but when we got into the field it started bucking. read more

Riverman trail rides surpassed all our expectations. Arriving 20 mins before our trail ride we checked in. Filled out our paperwork, weighed on the scales for the safety of the horses. No fat shaming. Just following the procedure that is given to everyone that makes a reservation or makes inquiries about the rides. The receptionist was very friendly and open to all questions. We then received detailed information on commands for our horses when riding. Again all questions and concerns were addressed. Our Guide was Jennifer and throughly enjoyed her. There was another couple riding with my cousin and I. Riding through the woods was just great and then crossing the Glover River was amazing and fun. We stopped at the bluff on the river to take a few pics. The memories will last a lifetime. We only did a 1 hour ride. I would recommend this to anyone who one who wants to ever go trail riding. I would definitely do the 2 hour ride. Shannon is another guide we met on the ride. I highly recommend Jennifer and Shannon both ! read more

We went on the 3 hr trip. This is by far the BEST excursion trip I've ever been on! I've only ridden on a horse once before this trip...our guide Michael was awesome, friendly and patient with us. We really just wanted to chill and enjoy nature and we got to do just that. Please note: this trip is not for the faint of heart...you truly are on a legit adventure and there is risk of injury with any outdoor adventure excursion. That said, I hate to see Amy negative review here. Our horses were great (I rode Poppy) and I have so much respect and awe for what they could do. Last tip: bring cash for tip and water resistant boots!!! You will love them for the water crossings. read more

I don't even know where to begin. My wife and I have been dreaming about going horseback riding on our honeymoon since we first had it booked! Riverman Trail Rides exceeded all of our expectations. The trails are so scenic, and they aren't just flat land! There's a bit of topographical challenges that make them exciting as well! Shianne was an excellent guide, and she saw to it that my wife and I had an amazing ride! The horses have great personalities! We both loved the horses and people! We highly highly recommend! read more

Coming from someone who grew up riding, this trail ride was worth it and exceeded my expectations. A lot of times trail rides can be boring, just walk in a line for an hour and you're done. At Riverman Trail Rides we got to cross the Glover river twice in chest-high water on the horses and it made you feel like a real cowgirl/ cowboy! The scenery was stunning up on the bluffs looking out over the river. And our guide Kayla was so kind, informative and confident. She was calm and made everyone feel like they were in great hands. read more
