Horseback Riding in the Bridger-Teton National Forest

I want to point out what I found were the positives and ideas to improve. First, we had what I considered the perfect size, 6 riders, plus our guide Deshaun. Riders’ level of experience was never having been on a horse to an accomplished rider. I would recommend a little more ring time before departing. Deshaun answered all of my questions, yet the riders in the rear couldn’t hear him. I would recommend stopping for just a couple of minutes in a few intervals to check on riders and give instruction on how to handle the horse. We had a beautiful ride, we made it to the top of a gravel road and Deshaun took photos of each couple with the mountain range as our backdrop. These horses do not gallop, it’s more of a slight trot but my horse was very well mannered. Overall it was enjoyable, but I would not want to be with a large group.

Colby was a fun and phenomenal guide. He was very knowledgeable and my wife and I had a tremendous time on our 2 hour ride. We would definitely return and ask for Colby.

I missed horse riding so much and I was glad I were able to do it. Plus good view - perfect! The guide was also really nice!!

I have been a licensed riding instructor and trainer for 40 years. I also spent 10 years taking high profile clients on supervised rides cross country, so am more than qualified to address this issue. There were SO many things that were wrong and potentially dangerous in this ride. Taking a group of 18 people, at least 16 of whom were rank beginners, two of whom were small children, and one of those scared to pieces, was crazy. There was a lead rider and a wrangler. That was not enough to care for 18 riders. The horse the child was on decided to head for home an hour into the ride. The potential for critical injury was huge. The second guide had to leave the group to get the kid and one parent back to the ranch safely. Another rider started having trouble w a horse kicking at it's belly repeatedly, an hour and a half out, on a tar road, going downhill. He rightly expressed concern and was told he could get off and walk. Another rider, the only other with some experience, offered and did switch horses. Had I EVER been advised as to the possible size of the group, I would never have gone. I basically spent the 2 hours watching out for my family and the riders immediately near me. And it cost me money to do so. Really disappointed. And, I doubt this will be posted for review of potential clients.

Colby was our tour guide and he was great/talkative with us! Definitely will be doing a longer tour next time we find ourselves in Jackson Hole! Tips: warm socks and warm gloves if riding in the fall/winter.

I really enjoyed our guide and the people on the ride. It was very apparent that the owner doesn't treat the staff the greatest, that would be my only hesitation with recommending this place to others. Otherwise the guide was great, and the horseback ride was well worth the money.

What a wonderful place and group of people running the ranch and horses. It was the highlight of my trip let alone year. Kevin was a wonderful guide and the horses are SO impressively well behaved. I didn’t mention to them my first time on a horse I was bucked off in Missouri. This was nothing like that and I can’t wait to ride here again. The scenery/landscape while riding was worth every penny. I enjoyed the 2 hour ride and loved my horse Taffy. They know what they are doing at heart 6 ranch! Thank you guys!

This was an awesome horseback riding experience! No riding experience needed. Horses were calm and guide was great with beautiful views 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Enjoyed riding on the single track. However, the horses were dirty and did not appear well cared for. Also, the conditions of the stable and grounds were littered with garbage and junk. We were not impressed. Our guide however was pleasant and supportive throughout our ride.

I would not recommend this company especially for first time riders. We had a large group (about 15 riders) & the horse handlers were not welcoming or patient at all. They gave brief (5 minutes) riding instructions and then you were on your own. I was also expecting to ride through trails & see the Grand Tetons. We did go on a pretty trail near a river and then up a gravel road but turned around, not even seeing the Tetons. Would definitely do more research and book with another company.
