Horseback ride into town on less than 24 hours notice with a stop in town for margaritas or an iced coffee? I can't say enough about how fantastic this was.
The ranch was very flexible with us, and we were able to arrange a little birthday treat on such short notice. We took the two hour ride, and they were so communicative and helpful via text and phone call to help us arrange things and even help us navigate.
And we had the sweetest horses! The trail was a lovely mix of flat and elevation, and we were able to walk, trot, and cantor with wrangler permission. Truly a magical experience. We cannot wait to come back!!
My best friend gifted me a horseback riding experience for my 60th birthday, and it was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed a two-hour ride through some of the most beautiful scenery, and every minute was relaxing and enjoyable. The horses were calm and well-behaved, making the experience perfect for riders of all skill levels.
A special thank you to our wrangler, Chelsey, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable from the start, and we truly enjoyed the conversations we shared along the way. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality made the ride even more memorable.
If you're looking for a peaceful adventure surrounded by stunning views, I highly recommend Bar UK River Ranch. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and I can't wait to come back again!
🐴❤️ Thank you for helping make my 60th birthday so unforgettable!

Bar UK River Ranch is an amazing place! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and well cared for, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our experience a great one. Whether you’re looking to unwind, spend time outdoors, or create lasting memories with family and friends, this is a wonderful destination. I highly recommend Bar UK River Ranch and look forward to visiting again!
Oh my gosh!! What a wonderful business! Erik went above and beyond for me and my friend and we had the best ride. Erik was super informative, fun, friendly and kind. We did a 2+ hour ride and stopped for beer and tacos along the way. Every part of our ride was wonderful, the scenery, the space, the land. And the horses, oh wow, they were unbelievable. Beautiful, friendly, well behaved, fun. They’re exceptionally well taken care of. I call horse riding my sanity savior and that ride will keep me going for at least a year until I book again. 10/10, highly recommend.

Thank you Stacey!
We really appreciate your taking the time to write such an especially nice review 🌝
I'm glad Erik still does some of the trail rides.. I believe he has just as much fun as you did!
Such a great outing\! Chelsea, the wrangler, did a fantastic job\! 🤠🐴
We had eight people in our group, ranging in age from 3 to 70, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with little kids, adults, and a senior all riding together\. But Chelsea wrangled all of us with ease and made everyone feel comfortable and confident\!
The horses were incredibly sweet, gentle, and so well trained, and the property is absolutely breathtaking\. Such a fun and memorable experience for our whole family\. We would absolutely do it again\! ❤️
This was one amazing ride for me my uncle and my cousin we chose to do the 2 and a half hour ride highly recommended it our wrangler was sam and she was very helpful the whole ride horses were amazing to thank you for the experience and fun
My daughter and I went for a trail ride with Erik from Bar UK ranch and it was fantastic! Such a beautiful property! Very well trained horses. Easy for beginners and Erik is exactly the man you want teaching you or your kids about horses. Highly recommend!!
