I found the perfect place to go trail riding at Blue Bell Stables, for both myself (experienced horseperson) and my boyfriend (never been on a horse). I knew immediately upon arriving that it was a first class stable - the numerous horses were well taken care of, the tack was high quality, the stables clean and maintained. The "boss", Jerry,...

We had a wonderful time riding at Blue Bell Stables. We paid $30 for an hour long ride which to me was worth it. You can find coupons in brochures and also deals on Custer Lodge websites. I have ridden on many occasions and this was one of the most adventurous rides I have been on. The trail leads up... More

The staff paired you with just the right horse, I felt comfortable right out of the gate, the guides were informative and knowledgeable of the history of the landscape and gave you tips along the trail to manage your horse just right, from wanting to graze to lagging behind. I truly enjoyed this ride and trail from the start to... More

We camped at blue bell and the whole area is great. The stable have a neat western feel to it. We would of did the horse ride and wanted to but i the sign said 250 lbs max and that means no horse ride for me. That was ok because the kids still got to see the horses and then... More

Arrived at the stables 30 minutes prior (as instructed) and the stables were locked with no staff available. Called the main number, no one answered. Had to drive... More

My 2 teenagers and I took the 2 hour ride. Nice horses, and 2 very nice guides. Beautiful, scenic trail, but unfortunately a storm started moving into the area, so we didn't go too far from the stables. We really loved Custer State Park, and horseback riding was a great way to really get to see more of the it.... More

Went on a 2-hour morning ride while my hubby hiked Harney Peak. My horse, Abby, was the last in the line and sometimes wanted to go her own way. Aside from that, it was a pleasant 2 hours. Glad I had my hat & sunscreen on. We saw deer. Was really sore the next few days since I wasn't used... More

Some of the group were late because they got lost but the staff waited very patiently. The group included a 6 and 9 yr old and they all loved it! More
