Horses

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced horseback rider, we have plenty of riding for you! You can pick and choose which rides you want to take or, for those who want to spend most of their vacation in the saddle, we offer a horse-by-the-week option. Join us at our riding resort for these popular rides:

Horses ride along lake Wrangler's Breakfast Ride. An early morning horseback ride where mid-way you stop and enjoy scrambled eggs and bacon, hot-buttered grits, and coffee out of a tin cup.....all, with the backdrop of our unique Chalk Cliffs and majestic Mt. Princeton.
Brown's Creek Falls Ride. A longer ride
through pine and aspen to a remote, rugged
waterfall.

"Thank you for the gift of this (Deer Valley
Ranch) experience and place. Here are some
highlights from our week in August: *Getting my
first opportunity to try racing barrels in a lope!
* Watching my 11 year-old daughter ride every
ride that she could. She discovered a new part
of herself. *The way the staff shared themselves
easily as people and responded with interest to
even us 'middle-aged moms'."

Steak Dinner Ride. Ride to the top of a scenic ridge, to a secluded spot in the trees where steak and chicken - prepared over an open fire - and all the fixin's await you. Before you head back to the resort, relax a spell and enjoy some western music and cowboy poetry, all provided by our staff.
High Country Ride. We pack you a "hungry man's" lunch for this one. We trailer your horse to 10,000' altitude just to begin. You will ride above timberline and see spectacular views. Oftentime elk, deer or mountain goats will be spotted. An all-day horseback riding adventure!

"Our time at the ranch was undoubtedly the best vacation time we have spent in many years. And you and your wrangler staff were major reasons for our pleasant stay."   -The Smith Family from Fayetteville, AR
