Great horseback riding experience! Not your average, boring, beginner trails. These trails were up a very scenic hill which required switchbacks to get up! It made me feel like an experienced rider, despite being a total beginner. Way more fun that the typical flat trails through woods that you often get with horse tours. Once we got to the top,...

We had a fabulous time with Barbara Jean in late September. From the ride in the "Cowgirl Cadillac" to the very last minute it was relaxing and fun. Barbara Jean chose the perfect horse for each member in the group (my husband had NEVER ridden a horse!). The horses were well trained, and obviously very well cared for. Barbara Jean... More

Barbara Jean was wonderful. What a great lady and trail guide. She matched us up with horses perfectly based on our personality and experience. Whether you are a first time rider or an experienced equestrian, it is definitely one of the best rides you could go on in the black hills. After the end of the ride I felt like... More

We went on a trail ride with Barbara Jean. What a great time. The horses were well matched to us. She made the ride more than just riding horses. She said she would pick us up at the end of the driveway and showed up in her Cowgorl Cadillac!

What an awesome adventure to our trip. Barbara Jean is a wonderful tour guide. She's very patient with the little ones and involves them in her stories of the old mines. This is a trip well worth taking! She takes you in and you feel like you've known her forever.

My family (me, my husband, 10 year old daughter, and 7 year old son) had an amazing time with Barbara Jean, her helper, and her wonderful horses. None of us had much experience with horses, and she made us feel comfortable and safe. She picked us up at the road in an old pickup with a puppy, then gave us... More

Barbara Jean could not run a better operation. The booking was easy and Barbara Jean promptly returned phone calls. She gave us great directions to her stables. Met us exactly at the time and place she said she would be. She paid great attention to each rider's skills/experience to match them to a suitable horse, and placed a great emphasis... More
