Fantasy Ranch

We were on the 10am 90-​minute ride in what seemed like an aspen peak turning weekend. The ride went through some beautiful aspen groves at 10k ft. Perfect day with bright yellow leaves and clear blue skies.
Our guide Tiffany was great! She had a cute little sheep dog that would prance and pounce along the trail. She kept the ride entertaining and pointed out lots of facts along the way about the horses, mountains, bear marks, and told funny kid jokes.
The horses were very well mannered and trained. We have an 11 and 9 year old and they felt very safe and comfortable with the horses. We rode Red, Dakota, Thunder and Flash but all of the horses in our group seemed good natured.
We definitely recommend Fantasy. Very family friendly. Thank you!

My husband and I went out for an hour and a half trail ride. The guide Chuck was extremely nice and helped make sure my husband was comfortable knowing it was his first ride.
Gorgeous views! Highly recommended :)
We will definitely be back for a longer ride in the summer season

Party of 5 of us, came in this morning for the 3 hour horse back riding tour to nearly the top of Mount Snodgrass.
We all range skillwise somewhere along the lines of mediocrity, but we all had done horseback riding before at least a couple of times.
The horses, for one, were all very tame and friendly, in their own crazy sort of way. It seemed pretty easy for anyone of any skill to stay on a horse, since the horses knew the drill, the routes, and the training well.
We had Elsa as our guide, she was fantastic! She not only was very informative about the wildlife and geography, or the different personalities of our horses, she also was entertaining, and extremely helpful when it came to guiding the horses around.
The views are spectacular, just like anything here in Crested Butte, but you also got to get to see a glimpse of the backwoods beyond civilization and cellphone service. Definitely would recommend this to my friends and family if you are in the area.
Hints:
Get there early, and sign up for the 9:00 over the 2:00 session. The horses are fresher, and the trainers can pair you with a perfect match with choice of all of their horses.
Bring layers, so you can shed long sleeves for short sleeves under as the sun rises and it gets hot.
Wear long pants and long socks, and comfy, closed toed shoes, so you avoid painful rubbing against the saddle and the horse.

Took the Snodgrass 1 ½ hour tour and it was beautiful! Our tour guide, Thomas, was entertaining and fun. Our whole group had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to come back and do it again. The photos and videos I got during the tour are fantastic!

It’s memorial weekend and me and my lady decided to visit crested butte. While we were here we decided to visit fantasy ranch and ride horses. This was my first horse back riding experience, which was amazing. There was a male and female guide and they were amazing and made us feel very comfortable. So if you are ever in town, it is a must that you take the opportunity to ride with these two. They charge $ 60 for an hr and a half and $ 90 for 3 hrs. Thanks guys for making our stay here on crested butte more enjoyable!
