Fun, safe, and interesting 2-hour trail ride using natural horsemanship. Jacklyn shows great love and care towards her horses, dogs and cats, and that extends as well to her riding guests.

Great ride, loved the horses, cute dogs too! Jacklyn has a very southern feel to her personality, and it was a lot of fun. Patience was key as we learned how to ride. Definitely a great time, even for first time riders. Worth calling, reserving and paying a visit for sure. Thank you, crazy horse ranch!
