Great family and friends experience

This was an easy to book, well organized and pleasant ride experience. Our group ranged from age 11 to 70, including first time riders. Ruby, our guide, and the staff who assisted were all helpful and personable. The scenery, pace and length of tour were just as we expected.

Great experience for families

I took my three children, 10, 12 and 14 for a family horseback ride and it was amazing. It was very well-run, organized and safe. The guides were friendly and knowledgable and great with kids and first-time riders like myself. Highly recommend this ranch!

Top experience!

We enjoyed the ride with the horses and guide Emily. Nice girl, who makes sure everyone is still okay. Group of 5 + guide. Suitable for beginners, our daughter of 8 years enjoyed herself a lot and was sorry that she had to get off after 1.5 hours. Horses look well groomed and healthy and listen well. Nice surroundings. The only thing we found unfortunate was that we were not allowed to look in the stables, but given the peace for the horses also understandable.

Operator response

Dank je wel for your lovely review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed the ride with Emily, she’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s great to know your daughter had such a fun first experience, and we really appreciate your understanding about keeping the stables quiet for our horses. Thank you for choosing Boundary Ranch! Happy Trails! 🐎✨

Great Tour and Lunch!

Fantastic Horse Ranch, had a really outstanding lunch and then a visit with some of the 100+horses that reside on this ranch. If only we had had the time to take a ride it would have been so great. Just the same, the staff here was excellent all around, from the into to the lunch to the horses.

Operator response

Thank you for joining us for lunch! We are happy to hear you enjoyed spending time with the horses and our excellent staff. We hope to see you in the future for a Trail Ride! Thank you for the 5-Star review! Happy Trails! 🐎✨
