What riders say about Durango stables
Exceptional trail ride experience. Our guide Faith took five horses up to Molas and guided our family of four on a truly spectacular ride though the San Juans that was peaceful, excellerating and a once in a lifetime experience.
Truly the best ranch I have ever enjoyed- and I have experienced MANY ranches! The accommodations, food, horses, scenery on the rides- and most of all-the staff -were pure perfection. We highly recommend Colorado Trails Ranch and plan to visit again next year. My only disappointment? That I had to leave😢
Durango Horseback Riding at Colvig Silver Camps
I would highly recommend to anyone. Hailey has a knack for making you feel comfortable around horses. She also set me up with a great foundation to improve on my riding skills. It’s in a prime location with sweet views. Very cool.
