Hi, gosh what kind words! I really enjoyed riding with you all and we did cover some country! Got some sunshine and you all got to try out some rain gear too! We are so blessed with beautiful country and good horses to see it! The best part is being with people that have the love of the back country and horses in common! I sincerely hope you will be out again, we just scratched the surface!
winter wonderland very romantic and fun thanks, planning on doin another this winter and will recommend to friends and family xox
We booked a 2 hour ride. Our wrangler Tarren (sorry hope I spelled you name right) was awesome. The ride was a lot of fun, when we do get back there again we'll definitely do at least the half day ride. Overall it was well worth the money and I'd recommend it to anyone!
This was the highlight of our Colorado road trip from Texas. My wife and I did the 4.5 hr Hermosa Cliffs horseback trek. We couldn't have been more pleased. The views and ride were the best we have been on, and we have been on some great ones. The ascent and descent were challenging, but well worth it. Ann was a great trail leader and guide. Can't wait to go back and do another one!
We reserved a sleigh ride for 10 people for the day before Christmas. We appreciated that they were working on that day. We had two sleighs. The ride was beautiful. A trail around Lake Haviland was spectacular. Just long enough. While we waited for our time slot there was small packages of Smores' to roast around the fire. They provide sing-a-long books with popular Christmas Caroles. the place was clean and run professionally. Easy to get to from either Durango or the ski resort. Right off the highway. Nice drivers and very knowledgeable about the local area. It made our Christmas special!
Guide Faith took my family on one of the best trail rides I've ever experienced. Friendly and professional staff at Rapp were so easy to work with. We were rained out the first day but they were able to re-schedule with no problems.Horses were well cared for, the guide (Faith) was attentive and knowledgeable, and the beauty of the trail just cannot be beat!I'd definitely go on the same ride again.
My 12 yrs old daughters first time horseback riding and everything was great. Julie took care of the entire group and the ride was scenic and hike down to the cave interesting. Even a little rain didn't dampen the fun..Thanks all.
To be honest, my wife and I didm;t go, but we sent our two college-age daughters on a 3-hour tour (no Gilligan; Island here…) They are VERY experienced horse people (lots of English jumpy-stuff back home), and when on a vacation, always take a horse ride somewhere, so they have a lot of experience on guided horse rides. They came back beaming from ear to ear on this. Their guide, Faith, did a superb job of just becoming fast friends, and then asking what sort of off-horse experience they had in terms of hiking, rock climbing, etc, as she then lead them to mines and caves where they could get off and explore. We saw tons of great pictures from their ride. So, from the point of view of parents (we don't ride as we're both allergic to horse, go figure…) Rapp gets an overwhelming A+++++
We found Rapp Corral when booking the Durango & Silverton trip that combined a train and horse riding day trip. We can't say enough good things about the ranch, the staff, the horses and the experience. We did the cave visit trail and saw a 10 point buck on the ride! Tymbree was our wrangler. Super knowledgable, friendly and informative. She was a great teacher to our 10 year old niece. Anne the owner could not have been more friendly and made all her guests feel so welcome. Highly recommend and so glad Rapp Corral was a part of our CO vacation! Thanks Rapp Corral for everything!
The summer trail rides are outstanding. I have gone several times on the hour and two hour rides with my grand children and my grand daughter has done the cave ride on her own a couple of times. The wranglers are friendly, competent and pay attention to the needs of all of their guests. The scenery is gorgeous. The horses are well-trained and in great shape. In the winter, try the sled ride. Be sure to make reservations, Rapp fills up several days in advance.
