Here, you'll get a glimpse of the rides and activities offered to guests throughout the day. Each ranch activity at Westcliffe Stables is charged on an hourly basis of $75 per hour.
Most popular with our guests, parents can watch, or join, their kids on horseback through obstacles set up in our 100x230 piped arena. You can expect a variety of courses to be set up for your visit such as wooden stairs, hoops, poles, and many more. Safety being our number one priority, staff will avidly supervise and brief quests on the courses so that you know if it is best for you.
Riding poles in the arena can be taken on at all skill levels. Not only does this keep our horses coordination, balance, and concentration sharp, but it also gives riders a feel for navigating their horse. Weaving through poles on horseback should definitely be on your list of activities to check-off during your visit!
Nothing exudes confidence like hugging barrels in the arena. Come ride at your speed around a combination of routes set up by our staff. Walk, trot, or loap is welcomed and encouraged here.
"Roping the dummy" is an activity that makes time fly, especially for those with competitive nature. We have roping dummies set up sparingly around the ranch and ropes readily available for guests to practice or learn a new skill. Be careful, this simple roping activity tends to become competitive amongst our guests.
Cattle drives on the ranch are suited for the more intermediate to advanced rider for safety. Riding drag, swing, or flank moving small herds of cattle around the ranch is what you can expect during this activity. It is all for leisure, so feel free to "cut up" and learn a few things about ranching.
At Westcliffe Stables every experience is a learning experience. We give guests the opportunity to watch experienced cowboys work with colts daily. This is an opportunity for guests to ask questions and experience an old tradition.
