Rocky Mountain Outfitters, Midway

We had the best time riding horses at Rocky Mountain outfitters! The scenery was breathtaking. Our trail guide,Emma, was wonderful and made the adventure so much fun. She was friendly and informative and definitely knew a-lot about the horses. She knew what we all needed so we would all have the best experience with the horse we rode . I had two 13 year olds and a 16 year old and they loved it. It was their favorite thing about our trip to Utah. We rode into the mountains and the trip was an hour long, which was perfect. I don’t think any one of us could of rode very much longer. I would definitely recommend adding this to your list of things to do in Utah.

We booked a 90 minute ride in Midway for our son’s 9th birthday. An hour or so into the ride, my son’s horse and mine got spooked when a branch fell in the woods and our horses took off in different directions. Our son intentionally slid and jumped off his horse and he was OK. He did try to stop it but it was much larger and stronger than him so he did what he felt was best and we are so grateful he’s not a timid kid and he figured it out. After he got off it, his horse kept going but quickly came back to the group. Mine ran me through some tall shrub bushes and then I was able to stop him. It was a little terrifying but we’re OK and have a fun story to tell now. Our guide hooked our son’s horse to theirs for the last 15 minutes back to the stables. The guides were friendly, informative and after our incident did ask numerous times if we were OK and we were (our son got right back on his and he thought it was all very exciting)! Me as the mother, not so much. I had no idea what was happening to our son while my horse had me somewhere else. It was a good lesson to be prepared for anything as they can spook very easily. But all in all we enjoyed it and we’d likely come back. The scenery was beautiful and it’s a very quaint area.
