Academy Riding Stables, Colorado Springs

Regardless if you are a seasoned rider, or a beginner whose only horse experience was reading Black Velvet, this riding center accommodates all abilities. Riders can choose from one- or two-hour rides, or during the winter also have the option for the three-hour perimeter ride. All horse-strolls are guided and wander through and around Garden of the Gods. Larger groups can arrange in advance for breakfast or dinner rides. Kids must be over eight to ride.
