What riders say about Custer stables
First impressions are everything! We stopped by today to get some information about trail rides and take a look at the horses and check out the operation. As a former horse owner of an Appaloosa and having ridden in Blue Mtns near Sydney, Australia, in Beijing, China by the great wall, in the Andes Mtns in Cuenca,…
Wow. What an experience. Hands down the BEST place I have ever been to "trail ride". My husband and I visited the Custer area for our first wedding anniversary. I grew up around horses, inherently becoming a "horse girl". Because of this, he humors me on vacations and always treats me to horseback riding.
We discovered Hell Canyon Horse Camp on a camping app. When we learned that the new owners were from our home state of Louisiana, and more specifically , less than 50 miles south of our hometown, we had to book a stay. Now, after two stays here, Lisa and Paul are like family.
