What riders say about Steamboat Springs stables

Saddleback Ranch - Horseback rides & Snowmobile Tours

This place is beautiful! Everyone is very helpful and informative! We had a party of 14 with 13 drivers for a snowmobile tour. Minnesota, our guide was fantastic! He lead us through a diverse terrain and gave us free time to enjoy wide open fields and hills!

C R Summit Riding Club

Gorgeous views, gorgeous horses, gorgeous people. Went with my family to C R Summit Riding Club while on vacation to Steamboat Springs, and we had an absolute blast. I hadn't ridden a horse in a few years and I was so unbelievably happy to experience Colorado on horseback.

Saddle Mountain Ranch

Amazing family run horse boarding ranch in steamboat. All disciplines. I’ve been at dressage and hunter jumper barns my whole life and also competitive show barns and the care here is great. It’s nice to be free of the stuffiness you can sometimes encounter at horse boarding facilities.
