Feel Close To Nature
The staff was great. However, there was a horse ahead of me that wanted tocontinuely leave the trail and go eat in the bushes. Because the horses follow each other closely, I was always correcting my horses direction they were going in. This horse should be retired. The scenery is unbelievable and I felt very close to nature. If you are just a beginner rider this one hour ride is plenty enough.
Operator response

Fantastic
Fantastic from start to finish, guide was full of facts and my horse ( Jack ) was a character 😂
The only negative was the couple behind me , the husband spent the entire trip talking on his phone which made it hard for me to hear the guide.. would definitely recommend and I would definitely do the longer trips next time . Hopefully the guy that was behind me won’t be back .
Operator response
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your ride from start to finish. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to your guide, and we love hearing that Jack’s personality made the experience even more memorable! We also appreciate your feedback about the difficulty hearing the guide. We’ll keep this in mind as we continue working to make every guest’s experience the best it can be. We’re so glad you’d like to come back for one of our longer rides, we’d love to have you join us again! Thank you for choosing Boundary Ranch! Happy Trails! 🐎✨
