Morning Horseback Ride with Breakfast

Beautiful scenery from the helicopter in a short time frame and the horseback ride was just as scenic! I did feel a bit nickel and dimed at the ranch, I was asked upon arrival if I wanted something to drink with my prepaid lunch and I said a lemonade and my daughter a cola and before we left they came after me and said I owed $10 for those drinks, which was annoying considering the great expense of it all. And the transportation back we had to wait which shouldn't happen

Today's adventure started before the sun had fully committed to being awake. We went on an early morning trail ride in the mountains and it was worth every minute of lost sleep. We had two guides. Chechon took the lead, and I was right behind him on my horse, Spirit. This man looked like he had personally negotiated peace treaties with mountain lions. He was the kind of cowboy who makes you think, "If a rattlesnake shows up, I'm standing behind him." Every so often, Chechon would stop the group and slowly scan the landscape. Naturally, I also scanned the landscape... with absolutely no idea what I was looking for. In my head, we were a highly trained predator detection team. In reality, I probably spent half the time suspicious of bushes. Then came the moment that proved I was not ready for the Wild West. I dropped my reins, and Spirit immediately thought, "Finally. She's stopped pretending to be in charge." He began following his own "spirit" and  Chechon was only mildly annoyed. Cesar  our other guidecrescued me with the patience of a saint. Chechon was still super kind and gave me a hug at the end of the ride.  Cesar is also a cowboy, but where Chechon gives off "I'll save your life" energy, Cesar gives off "I'll save your life and tell you a hilarious story while doing it." He was charismatic, welcoming, and had us laughing the entire ride. He taught us about the land, the horses, the goats, and even how to rope a bull. I'm now exactly 0% more qualified to rope a bull, but I fully believe I could provide enthusiastic commentary while someone else does it. Between the silent protector and the cowboy tour guide with the gift of gab, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ten out of ten. I would absolutely ride Spirit again... preferably with my reins securely attached to my hands this time. There were also baby lambs and goats that ranged from 4days old to 3 weeks that we were able to love on and pet and play with. And no, Cesar and Chechon did not have to check my pockets several times for a baby lamb that I definitely wasn't trying to steal. :) Lastly Denny was our driver and cook. He was great. On time, funny and he had long flowing hair. He didn't , he was bald, but did you imagine Fabio or Palomina  for a second. Well Denny looked nothing like them, but  I really appreciated him getting us to our location safely and while we were on the trail ride, he made the best breakfast and had it ready for us when we got back. When everything was over he safely transported us back to our respective hotels. Overall this experience was great. I highly recommend.

What a fantastic experience! From the moment we were picked up at the hotel to the minute we were dropped back off. This was top of my list to do whilst in vegas and I just want to do it again! The horses were beautiful and looked very healthy and happy. The ride during sunset in a fantastic location and setting, was just like a dream! I rode Jolene and she was a superstar. Ceasar was a fantastic host with a great sense of humour. AJ made a delicious steak on the bbq after the ride. A big thank you to Jason for organising and making this possible as my mum couldn’t ride but loved seeing the horses and the ranch. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back! Amanda 🙂

Amazing! Caesar and Don were great hosts. The walk was peaceful and at first I was really nervous but Caesar being the great teacher he is talked me and others through all of the things. The baby goats were adorable my horse Sparkles was good too.

Wonderful experience with friendly staff. The trails were beautiful and the animals well carded for.
