We did an hour long ride with Shane. My boyfriend rode Crab man and I rode Maverick. The ranch was beautiful as were the horses. Our hostess Patti was super welcoming and kind. We ended up with a private ride due to another person not showing up. The scenery is amazing and Shane had some great stories to tell. He also snapped some photos for us. It was a well priced overall great experience thank you!

Ok I have been to many places and gone riding , please let me tell you this was the MOST incredible ranch and the ability to wander a bit not just nose to tail is superior to anything else I’ve done. Magnificent views , beautiful healthy horses and the staff is so genuine and sweet. You will not be disappointed.

Words cannot explain how awesome our ride was! Beautiful views, healthy horses to meet every rider level/size, and knowledgeable/helpful guides. Our group rode out with Shade and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Rusty Spurr Ranch to anyone who wants to ride horses in the Rockies. We did a 2 hour ride that was paced perfectly and saw so many great views!

I have been on many rides in Colorado throughout my life and this was the best, without question. The views were breathtaking, the staff was extremely friendly and fun, and the horses were healthy and well-trained for any level of rider. Unlike many other stables, this is not a strict a nose to tail ride and you have the flexibility to take different paths and breakaway from the group with your horse. This kept the ride exciting, creative, and engaging.

The staff is so knowledgeable and kind. They provided my family with a one-of-a-kind experience. It was my 13 and 10 year olds first time riding a horse. Connie was so patient in helping them along. Not only did she teach us about horses and riding, we learned all about the ranch and surrounding area. It is evident they love their job and their horses. Highly recommend!!
