Academy Riding Stable 4 El Paso Boulevard, Colorado Springs, CO 80904

"I had never ridden a horse before and wanted a memorable experience so I decided to book a scenic ride with this place and it was amazing. I was a bit nervous but it isn't hard at all. Anyone could do it. The trail is really beautiful with great views of the mountains and Garden of the Gods. If you have never ridden a horse before, you are missing out! I will be sure to come back here in the future!"

"Had a great time with some amazing views! To start with. They gave us (a group of 9) a quick class on how to direct the horses. Along with that, it was a very peaceful ride. Learned a few things with Ben talking about history and pointing some great views out. Would Definitely do this again. Great way to see Garden of the God's and really enjoy the sights!"

"We had a fantastic ride with Lily and Wilson leading us. A gorgeous day in February, riding through the Garden of the God's, couldn't be any more perfect. The views were stunning. Our horses, Martini and Lynx, were awesome. I would highly recommend this stable and will be back with more friends that come to visit. Thank you, Lily, for teaching us some history of the area and a super fun day!!"

"This company is amazing! It was very easy to sign up and complete all the forms. They were all very helpful and made horse riding so fun, even if you think you might not know what you’re doing! Our wrangler was Draeson, and he was amazing! He made the ride fun and was very informational about the land and the history. We went on a day that was very cold and yet it was still a great experience. They even provided warm drinks at the end! I would definitely come back again and would recommend this place to everyone!"

"Academy Riding Stables was an awesome experience! The staff was great! They were very friendly and seemed to really care about our experience. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answered any and all questions we had. The horses were very docile and responsive up the reigns. Again, absolutely recommend them!"
