Porter Mountain Stables

Had a great experience! Were able to get us in same day for a private ride. Really nice and knowledgeable guide. Beautiful trail. Would go again.

We came here two years ago and had a good experience for a one hour horseback ride. We came here October 23^rd 2015 for a 1:30 p.m. ride (got there at 1 pm so we would be saddled up by 1:30) and were told by a man taking a family out for 2 hours, that there was no one around to take us out and that a 12 o’clock two hour ride would be back by 2 p.m. So we waited until 2:30. The place was absolutely deserted and when we called, the woman who answered the phone gave us excuses saying,” Well, you didn’t have a reservation. I had called that morning and she told me specifically that there would be a 1 hour ride at 1:30. I was never asked if I wanted or told that I needed a reservation. I will never come back to this place and I do not recommend anyone going there unless you have half a day to waste waiting for someone to take you on a trail ride that never shows up. I only gave 1 star because I could not post a review with no stars. I was so disappointed.

Our guide was amazing! I have two little boys that have never rode 6 and 10 and he made them and I very comfortable. He was also very funny which makes it that much better. The grounds are great… Nice and clean. They even had a pony my 6 year old could ride. It’s the next day and the boys are already asking to go back!

5 stars! Very friendly staff, best time to go for views is 4 pm! Nice and cool, had a wonderful time. Hitch was great guide likes to show off (jk)! Would def recommend for family’s to take young kids !

Called to reserve horseback riding lessons for Saturday afternoon or Sunday, was told I would get a call back… and nothing! Showed up at the stable on Sunday and the lady at the front desk walked away with another gal and started riding with her, but never said and word to us. She obviously didn’t care about the business.

My daughter (9) and I had a wonderful time. Our guides were great. Most of us it was our first time and they reassured us making us feel very comfortable. My daughter had a great time. I definitely recommend this place.

Today we had reserved horseback rides for my father and my daughter. We arrived at this very sweet barn to be welcomed by very friendly staff and horse handlers. The wranglers were reassuring and took the time to answer questions we had being first time riders. We paid for 1 hour ride that was beutiful and peaceful and a great value as well. We learned a lot from our wranglers. The horses were calm and sweet, they were easy to ride and made us less freaful! These folks were first class we will be back again and refer friends!!!

Simply amazing. Lot of horses and all are in good condition. We were a group of 4 and had good fun on our trial ride.

We enjoyed it. Family of 7 went smallest 6 years old. We all had fun. The guide was great with the kids. And the other back guides were pleasant. First time for most of us on horse trail rides. The views were so nice. We did the 1 hour. Which was just enough for us starters. We will be back for the 2 hr ice cave ride.

We made reservations 2 weeks ahead of our trip. We called the day of our tour and were told to show up at 4:20. We arrived promptly at 4:20 and were told only 2 hourses we’re avalible and 4 of us were going to ride. This was the one of the main parts of our trip and my wife was really looking forward to it. I would not reccomend this stable at all as they are completely unorganized and unable to perform business as they should. I would give this place zero stars but that is not an option.

Went for a very nice ride this morning with 2 adults with four teenagers. it was a very pretty and fun ride. We saw cows, went through streams and even galloped a little. Highly recommend and would definitely do it again! The ranch guide had tidbits to tell us about the land and answered all of our questions.

We just had a really nice experience riding these horses for an hour. The guide took us on a beautiful trail through the woods, where we also crossed small streams and rode along a lake. We already knew we wouldn’t be able to run the horses and expected a nice, peaceful experience where we could appreciate nature and breathe in the fresh air — and that is exactly what we got. When it started thundering another guide found us to give us rain jackets. So nice!
Our guide was sweet and answered every random question we had during the ride.
We are completely satisfied. Thank you. :)

Friendly staff, especially our wrangler Hitch. I have three kids, ages 8, 11, and 13. We were all novices and this was a great introduction to horseback riding. The ride was lovely among the pine trees, past a wildflower meadow, through a little stream, and up to an ice cave. An excellent value, highly recommended.

We had a good time, but it could have been sooo much better. The horses and ride were great. Our ranch hand or guide «hitch» was not in it and did nothing to make sure the experience was great. Really too bad that we pre-​paid a large tip… he didn’t earn it. Everyone else was nice, accommodating, and tolerant of us inexperience urban cowboys.
