Earl likes to stop on the trail to catch a bite to eat 😆 I Highly recommend them especially if you've never ridden a Horse!
Horseback Riding at Cedar Crest Stables in the Cibola National Forest. Lodging/Vacation Rental
they group people out by riding level so beginners need not be scared that they’ll do too much and ppl who want to go faster can have their fun.
The stable's website says so too.
My first time on a horse doing more than a walk and I loved every minute!
Several of us were beginners but felt really comfortable along the ride with our trail leader, Isaiah.
The hands were very friendly and gave helpful instruction for beginner riders, they also tagged along and rode with different segments of the party for any assistance.
The stable's website says so too.
We had some experienced riders and a few people that had little to no experience, and everyone had an amazing time.

I took my wife for her birthday and it was an amazing experience if you never ridden a horse and to help bond with your horse by grooming it.
She is perfect for beginners, and so are her horses!
It’s a lovely, quiet environment with a couple of gentle horses, which makes it perfect for young beginners.

The horses are well cared for, and Meris & Seth help everyone understand how to ride beforehand, which is great for beginners.
Beginner checklist
- Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Flat sneakers can slip through a stirrup, and shorts let the saddle rub.
- Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
- Tell them you are new. It gets you the right horse and the right pace.
