As a horse person, I wanted to go for a ride while on vacation with the boyfriend in the Black Hills. In addition to visiting the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary in Hot Springs, I choose this riding stable for our trail ride after reading TripAdvisor reviews. I was not disappointed! Barbara Jean was extremely accommodating considering we were visiting... More

We decided to go on a Blacktail Horseback ride as the reviews on Tripadvisor were good and we were not disappointed. Barbara came down the steep hill to meet us at the bottom in her jeep - which was falling to bits...literally...but it was exciting riding in it back up the hill. I would not have liked to drive our... More

I don't think there is anything I can add to the previous reviews, but wanted to add my five stars. I went to Blacktail Horseback tours with my husband, son, and a friend. Barbara deserves all the previous accolades given to her. This should definitely be #1 on your list when visiting the black hills. The price is extremely reasonable... More

a great few hours. Made to feel very welcome as part of a small group. Would definitely recommend this as a way of exploring the black hills. More

My kids and wife were apprehensive, the idea of up and down hills through the trees on horses scared them, but 5 minutes with Barbara had them at ease and ready for a great history lesson on horseback. Also, remembe to tip...this helps feed her dogs during the year... Spent the... More

This was a lot of fun! My wife and I rode along with another lady and her teenage daughter. The fun begins when Barbara Jean the owner picks you up in her pickup truck and takes you up to where she keeps her horses.....it's a rough road and most cars wouldn't make it but the "cowboy cadillac" got us there...

Blacktail Horseback really deserves 10 stars but I was limited to 5. This is a "must do" for anyone who enjoys horseback riding and the outdoors. I have 2 children, ages 9 and 14 and they enjoyed the ride so much we went and did it again the day before we left South Dakota to return to Wisconsin. Even now,... More

Most of my family had never been on a horse before, so I was nervous. Barbara Jean made me comfortable by stressing safety. My 3 kids, ages 6, 10, and 14 had a great time. Bar Barbara Jean and her wrangler Joe were great with the kids, and we were able to take some beautiful pictures. Don't let the driveway... More

We were almost rained out, but Barbara and Sara were still game so off we went. My boyfriend is an experienced rider so they gave him a more challenging horse but I'm a beginner so they gave me a horse who could deal with someone who didn't quite know what they were doing. I loved that it wasn't a 'nose... More
