Regardless of the season you choose to visit us, we recommend wearing pants for the practicality of horseback riding. Closed-toed shoes are ideal for a smoother ride as they are more suitable for the stirrups on the saddle and offer protection from potential hazards.
Weather can be unpredictable during your ride with us, from hot sun to mountain winds to sudden chills – sometimes all within an hour! Dressing in layers is the norm in Colorado, ensuring you are prepared for any weather conditions that may arise.

We recommend wearing jeans or a heavier material pant for your time in the saddle. Pull up boots are ideal, especially cowboy boots, but not required. Some good sturdy footwear that will allow you to maintain your balance in the saddle. Also Layers! The weather can change throughout the day so you’ll want to make sure you are comfortable for all conditions. Please check the Weather Report before your trip.
