What riders say about Cody stables

Bill Cody Ranch

Our visit was primarily for a trail ride. This did not disappoint! From check-in, to mounting up, to Hitting the trail, all was superb. Surefooted horses, competent trail, guides, and wranglers, All made for a great experience. Wishing we had even more time in Cody for a couple more rides.

★★★★★ Dave, May 2026

Cedar Mountain Trailrides

Nothing but great things to say about this place! If I could give a 6-star rating for this ranch, I would! For starters, Bob (the owner) was genuinely a pleasure to speak with, he had shared so many wonderful stories about his time at the ranch and made my first mountain trail ride very memorable!

★★★★★ Sarah, Aug 2023

Rand Creek Ranch

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was far enough from everything but close enough to Cody to be convenient. We did the horseback riding with our kids and we all enjoyed it so much. I cannot describe how amazing this place was. Their little pond in front with activities made it fun for our kids.
