Wild Rose Equine Center

One of the best horseback riding spots! Lots of quality time with the horses before plenty of time looking at the farm if you arrive early. Both my 4 year old and 5 year old son rode on their own horse for the hour trail ride. We had our guide w and other people in our group. I love to ride here every month!

Absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to go back! It was everything I imagined from the simple booking process, to the dreamy atmosphere, and gorgeous trails they took us on! I will definitely be going back as often as I can! Thank you so so much!

We have a PHENOMENAL experience here. My exchange students are leaving the country on Thursday. On Tuesday I realized we never got around to getting them on horseback during their time here, which they asked about last fall. I scrambled and found Wild Rose. Made an online booking for them for today (Wednesday) and it couldn't have been easier. From the time we got there the staff was VERY welcoming, friendly, informative, and helpful. The girls hadn't ridden since they were small children (pony rides) and they got to go out on the trails, through creeks, etc. They had an unforgettable American experience, and the cost was extremely reasonable. I spent the time during their ride in the stables chatting with Dan, the farrier. I learned a lot about horses and what goes into shoeing them. It was amazing to watch Dan work his craft, and the attention to detail that goes into shoeing a horse is WAY more than you'd ever believe.I wish I'd taken the girls here last fall - we'd have been back dozens of times over the school year, I'm sure. I can't recommend Wild Rose enough!

Very kind trail guides, lovely scenery, healthy happy horses. They provide helmets. The trail ride was long and I felt like it was a great value. Don't forget to bring cash to tip your guides.

We absolutely loved our trail ride! Ava and Grace were our guides and they did such a wonderful job. The horses were all extremely well trained and the girls matched us up with our horses perfectly (my horse was TopGun, a very bossy and sassy old fella who liked to snack... I loved him immediately). We were given clear instruction and encouraged to ask questions at any time. The ride was through all kinds of native terrain (creeks, heavily treed areas, fields, hills, all with plenty of shade). The horses handled each obstacle like pros. From expert to brand new rider you can confidently complete & truly enjoy this ride without worry. My tips: 1. wear old comfy closed toed shoes.2. remember you are working WITH an animal to traverse the terrain, it's not like driving a car3. the riding directions are simple, but very effective, listen to your guide, they know how the horse has been trained4. tip your guides, it's really a lot of work before, after and during your ride, lots of behind the scenes work

For $50 my partner and I had a custom trail ride for over an hour on horses Top Gun and Cowboy lead by the wonderfully pleasant and calm guide Stephanie. I hadn't ridden in a few years but have plenty of experience while my partner had never somuch as pet a horse, yet Stephanie navigated this huge chasm in our experience levels expertly! We started out for a few minutes (after she already tacked up the horses- no work by us which was great!) getting our sea legs going around in a pen and coming up to a trot as well. Then we headed out on an adventure that became the shining light in my partner and I's limited time together in one city- and that is saying a lot since we've been trying to cram as much as we can into one week! We traversed through the shade of beautiful green woods, our rides calmly crossing creeks and navigating over logs with ease while we struggled to wipe the silly grins off of our faces. The horses were incredibly at home and used to all of this yet absolutely nowhere near the zombie dead-in-the-eyes trail ponies you'd ridden at many a birthday party where even a bomb couldn't get the animal to pass a walking pace. We got to open grassy fields and Stephanie allowed us to trot and even canter as we felt comfortable- no pressure either way. The freedom to canter again after so long outside of the saddle is indescribable. I really can't say enough about how truly fantastic this ride was. My partner and I had an adrenaline rush, gorgeous scenic tour, and relaxing outing together all in one. This is a must try for newbies and experienced riders alike!

We all had a great time horseback riding! Chance was very helpful and taught us what to do before we went out:) We really enjoyed our afternoon and we were able to relax even with three children (between the ages of 5-8 years old. They were all on their own horses!). The guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating. We also took some time to feed the pigs, goats, and other horses. Soooo fun!! We will certainly be coming back.

This was a great find for us. Spending a staycation in KC we brought our 4 kids out for an hour trail ride and it didn't disappoint. They were very patient with our kids skill levels and talked them through every thing. Our 4 year old rode with the leader and when our oldest was unsure about the ride, they immediately offered another employee to lead him and talk him down. The trail was beautiful and easy to ride.

What a great time my 6 yr. old granddaughter & I had on our trail ride. We both LOVE horses. She did not want to leave. She went back through to 12 horses ligned up to pet them & tell them goodbye. Stephanie was very nice & the two girls who were helping her were awesome too.

I recently purchased a Living Social voucher to go horseback riding. ($15 for an hour - usually $30.) Can you say Yee-haw!?It was about a 30 minute drive north of the city. I had called to make a reservation at 1pm. We arrived right at 1 and found our way to the cabin where you check in. There was quite a few people there so we just waited a few minutes. My friend had forgotten her voucher but the guy checking us in was kind enough to look it up online for us...so she still got to use it. The guide that was going to take us was standing there eating her lunch - not so professional - but it's horseback riding. If you want professionalism, skip the gravel road and dusty path and head downtown for the salon. You'll wanna wear jeans and flat shoes. And not your best tennies, cuz we all know what comes out the other end. Yep, I said it.Once everyone was checked in we headed over to where the horses were and our guide got on one and gave us a demo. This was very helpful. I've been to other places that get you on the horse and try to give you instructions after that. A little harder for those that have never been on a horse to concentrate. I did find it strange that they didn't ask if we'd ever ridden or what our experience was, but apparently they feel their horses are trained well enough. I'm just never one to underestimate an animal's power. But since there were 4 and 5 year olds doing it...We got moving at about 1:40. We started on trails, sometimes in a pasture and sometimes in the woods. Not exceptionally beautiful scenery but possibly at other times of the year it might be. Our horses walked for the whole hour, which I believe is common at most places...but I would have really liked to have a bit of a trot or even a gallop. I don't know if that's something you can schedule outside of a general lesson or not.In general it was a fun experience but I've had my fill for while. Only so much walking you can do. I guess the more you go the more you might earn the right to do a little more. This was great for first timers.
