E.g. one specifically liked playing in water, one really liked the cow's molasses in buckets nearby, some had a little bit more sass than the others, etc. The little tidbits that she gave for each horse was a clear indication that the staff & owners cared for and loved these horses - this is enough for any animal lover to want to support this business. It also made it easier to connect with and understand our horses to make the experience more enjoyable. HCT was otherwise fairly priced & reasonably understanding if customers are running late. The trails were beautiful and unique. The dogs running along with us were entertaining. I couldn't have asked for a better time! Note: They have a little outhouse on the side, but unless you're ok with those, be sure to use the bathroom before!

There were 4 in our group and we were paired with a couple other parties for a total of 7 or 8. Our instructor was super friendly and helpful, made sure we were safe and showed us all the best spots/views. It was cold at the top, so be sure to bundle up! 2 hour was the perfect duration for us as we started to feel the cold and tire out/get hungry. It's definitely pricy but if you split the tide with someone, it's totally worth the experience! @azfitfoodfun

You have to pay $25pp day pass... but a camping site is $75 and they provide day passes for all those at your site. They have plenty of camping sites available last minute.

This place is great for family reunions, large gatherings or families.

We chose this place online because it was the most affordable, and were very pleasantly surprised…read moreby how great it was. Room was nice, facilities were amazing and the staff extremely pleasant and helpful, especially the manager. When they didn't have our room ready by quite the time they promised, they discounted us, even though we wouldn't have asked for it. No TV in the room, which didn't bother us, but lots and lots of on-site dining options (we didn't use this time) and a lot of free activities like mini-golf, which is basically open most of the night. And lots of extra activities like horseback riding. We're planning to come back and spend a weekend at this terrific place sometime.

What a great time riding in the fall in Colorado and with the wranglers at this well-run stable…read more Rode this past Sunday there and we had about 15 other riders and 3 wranglers guiding us, helping us, and chatting with us. Travis especially was friendly and professional and he didn't hesitate to give important lessons and instruction. The horses were well taken care of and I fell in love with mine, Kit Kat. What a horse. And the sites! Gorgeous. This was the first time in Colorado and this ride was incredibly special. I feel like the price was fair. The online registration was easy and it also allowed you to include the tip. I'd love to return but this time go for the 2 hour ride!

Our guide was Katie, a 17 year old young lady who was incredibly engaged with us, pleasant and shared historical information on the mining days in Central City and pointed out interesting things along our ride. The entire ride was beautiful, often through trees and remnants of the mining days. Definitely historical! At the top of the trail ( we went on the 1.5 hour ride) there was a majestic view of Mount Evans and the Colorado landscape in all its beauty. We don't horseback ride a lot but we will come here again and recommend A&a Stables to everyone!

Woke up early the next day, got to the spot 15 minutes early, sent a text, called... waited 40 minutes called again.. waited 5 minutes called again, spoke with neighbors around where we were supposed to Leave out from to no avail. Extremely disappointed. Been to Colorado multiple times on multiple rides with personal animals.. first time every paying for an outfitter and was sorely disappointed... do better Mr. Travis. Sharing in hopes he doesn't do it to someone else whos looked forward to something like this all week after driving 20 hours. Currently on the phone with bank getting debit card deactivated trying to recoupe some funds from it. Been to horse camps all over the south/west and never encountered this. May your pillow be warm on both sides Mr. Travis. With all my love, Joseph Russell.

Whether it is through the Colorado mountainside like us or the Texas hill country Travis is your man. He did two rides for us. First with my 7 yr old girl and wife. Then a second ride with 5 of us family members. He is engaging, interesting, knowledgeable about his surroundings, and willing to teach the art of horseback riding. Her prefers texts to book and will meet you to guide you to the trailheads. He did a couple 2 hour rides for us but I know he does 2/4/8 hr rides upon request. I give this review a 5 star but it was a 4 star experience. Only because the Troublesome Fire of 2020 burnt up a lot of Aspen trees along the train and it is slow to come back. Not on Travis just not as beautiful as other parts of CO.

As an experienced rider, I was looking for a trail ride that would not be the stereotypical nose-to-tail walking trail ride that is so commonly offered, and this trail ride did not disappoint! We were able to ride in a pack, side-by-side each other. We rode from the ranch, out through a pasture, and up a hillside to the top of the butte. On the butte, they let us experienced riders do more than walk on our horses. Amy, Josh, and Josh were so warm and welcoming and shared some history about the area. Fantastic tour guides, and amazing humans. My friend and I were visiting Colorado for about a week, and Amy gave us some recommendations of additional things to do/see while we were in the area, as well. Next time I make it back to Colorado, I would absolutely go back and visit Platte Ranch again. Cannot recommend this place enough for those looking for a truly awesome riding experience in the mountains!!

There were 8 of us on the hour and a half ride stopping about halfway to take pictures. I appreciate that they picked horses to match the riders and their different riding levels.
