Amazing day for the family, once you arrive if the old dog barks, just keep walking he's safe. You will love this place kids.

So I cannot comment on the quality of the trail rides because we waited over an hour for someone to show up, and ended up leaving without getting to go on a ride. We called the number listed beforehand, and the message said that they didn't have phone or electricity at the stables but to come on up, they were there every day. It's a 30 minute drive out of Ruidoso, so it was a little disappointing to drive all the way there just to wait around.

The road getting to the stables got a bit rough on the car for the last three miles, but the ride was well worth it. We took the 1-hour ride option and our guide was nice and curteous.

I've done several trail rides and would describe this one as average to poor. The man running the operation was not very friendly and the tour guide said maybe 3 words throughout the entire ride. They also put the person I came with at the back of the group while I was at the front so we had a group of strangers between us. I have no idea why they did this. Also the trail was rather boring. We went out and back on the same trail. It could have been a much better experience.

Nice ride in a beautiful canyon along a stream. Our three year old rode with Mom. If you go in a winter snow four wheel drive is a big plus as you get near the stables.

My wife and I rode there several times. Great place; beautiful views; nice people, never had a problem there. After the recent fire (summer, 2012) the place is gone. We just returned from Ruidoso and the main road leading past Bonita Lake (which is also gone) is closed due to ongoing issues (when it rains the sludge from the fire washes out the road). We were told by several people that the stables burned although with the road closed you can't get there anyway.

My husband and I visited the stables on our honeymoon. We have both had experience with horses, but we never feel comfortable taking someone else's horses on a trail alone. We went with a guide, and she took us on a two hour ride that met our experience level. The scenery was beautiful! We even heard elk in the distance. We could not have asked for a better trail ride! We will definitely visit again. Also, to correct the post below, the stables were not burnt in the fire and personnel are currently working on the road, just call them at (575) 354-2778 before arriving.

Having been ranch-raised, and rodeo trained....I find it hilarious how "experienced" some people think they are. I have seen a woman say she "used to ride the circuit" and go put on a pair of chaps BACKWARDS. Folks...these horses cannot be perfectly matched for every person. The Runnels do the best they can to match you up with a horse you can handle, but if you tell them you are "very experienced", why would you be upset if they put you on something other than a dead-broke kid horse? After all...you told them how good you are. There are some folks who don't want to ride a "plug!" And...if a horse is climbing, sometimes they will lunge...which, you...with all your experience, might think is bucking. I know for a fact that Bonito Stables would never have a horse in their dude string that would buck. Do you think they want you to get hurt?? Come on!! They want you to enjoy your experience, see beautiful country and come back. Perhaps some of the help need some etiquette lessons, or some training in people skills...but they are there to help you with your horse, not hold your hand.

About an 18 mile drive from Mechem and Sudderth down paved and unpaved roads and passes Lake Bonito. The drive itself is pretty, and the road ends at the stables. Don't arrive earlier than 10 AM or later than 3 PM. Riders head out on a first come, first served basis. They have a large variety of horse breeds, and my horse was the most responsive trail horse I've ever ridden. Usually they just follow the trail regardless of my commands. I didn't see any fire damage.

I really enjoyed the ride and the "wranglers"/girls that lead the tour. We had a great time and the horses were very calm. Will definitely come back next time we're in town. Thanks, Karina and Kate for a fun time on the trails.
