    The Pony Express National Museum is a hidden treasure that brings one of the most legendary chapters of American history to life. From the moment you step inside, you're transported back to 1860, when brave young riders risked everything to deliver the mail across the frontier.

    Came here for our anniversary, was an amazing time. I haven’t been on a horse in a few years & was excited to get back on, they made it a real good time. Beautiful horses that are well trained & well cared for.

    Beautiful day with hubby and granddaughter to go horseback riding. Reasonable rates. Guides fitted the horses to the riders' riding experience. The guide also explained riding techniques for those of us who needed a reminder of riding etiquette. Comfortable saddles.

    I had a amazing time on this adventure. The trail was a little bit mud and which made it narrow, but those horses were on it. Stitch was my horse and he was use to the trail. Rarely did I have to give him direction.

    We go every year in June, and I am always excited to go. I love riding at CCTR, the atmosphere and people are great. You can buy a meal ticket, buy individual meals or opt out of meal tickets and bring your own food.

    My son and I rode the trail rides today and we had a great time. Everyone was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the horses. They provided some basic training before the rides which was very informative. They have a nice farm and a lot of horses. All the horses look healthy and well taken care of.

    Brushy Creek Lodge & Resort is a notch above the rest! Fabulous facility with excellent service. Beautiful campground with nice spacious sites. Stalls are in good shape and they provide sawdust for bedding. The spring trail ride was a ton of fun with hay rides and live music.

    When I booked a ride with Lake of the Ozarks Trail Rides, I was equally excited and nervous, but from the moment I arrived - Mel, Gail, and Jenny made me feel completely at ease. They’re not just experienced - they're warm, encouraging, and genuinely care about making your ride memorable.

    This hidden gem is one of the best adventures I've ever taken my Granddaughter on. We went for a mid February horse trail ride. The experience riding around the lake was absolutely beautiful and the Guide and his Son (Spring Lake Owners) we're amazingly hospitable and friendly.

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
