Roaring Fork Valley Horse back riders!?

I know this is a shot in the dark that anyone from my area ( roaring fork valley- glenwood springs, basalt, carbondale, aspen) would read this but if im lucky : I was wondering if anyone knows of any good trail rides to take my horse on. Hes a little out of shape/ a little green and we are working on getting back into the swing of things so I am looking for a easy, calm, not-populated place to take him where he can just learn to relax and get back into the swing. Thanks so much!

Kelsey, you aren’t far from the Windstar Land Conservancy, and they allow horses on the land there from time to time. I would give them a call and ask about their policies. Windstar is a thousand plus acres of mostly undeveloped wilderness that’s located in the mountains near Snowmass. It was co-founded in 1976 as a school and environmental education center by Akido master Thomas Crum and singer/environmentalist John Denver.( Denver bought the land with the proceeds from some of his early albums and gave it to the Conservancy shortly after he purchased it.) I’ve been to Windstar once, and I know there are trails in the woods and the aspen grove there. If you went with a buddy (which I recommend, because it is dangerous to ride alone in a place like that) then you could probably spend quite a while roaming the trails. There are no roads there except for the driveway that leads into the place, but there is a nice lake on the property where your horse can get a drink. Windstar is open from dawn to dusk every day of the year, including Christmas, and admission is free. ( That was the way Denver wanted it- and what he wanted, he got.) So I would give them a call and find out when you can go. One other note: They do have volunteer work weekends a few times a year at Windstar, such as over the 4th of July weekend. They also operate a mini-camp for kids in the summer. If you don’t want to be around a crowd when you are there, you may want to plan your visit for a quieter time.

Good luck- I hope this helps.
