I chose this place to take a guided trail ride because the reviews were so overwhelmingly positive - 211 five star reviews out of 225 total - and I could not be happier I did! My group of 7 ended up being the only one headed out at that time, so I had the pleasure of meeting many of the wranglers along with Richard. They are such a personable and helpful group of folks, I knew I was in for a great time before we even got in the saddle. They asked us questions about our riding abilities and such to carefully match us to the best horse possible. Our group had a wide variety of ability, and every single person was perfectly matched to their horse to reflect that. All the horses are clearly very well cared for and loved - we did get some snuggle time before our ride headed out! The ride itself was indescribably gorgeous (I HIGHLY recommend you check it out for yourself) and our guide felt like an old friend immediately. She was a wealth of local knowledge; I feel like I learned more about the Jackson Hole area than I found in all my trip research and planning. I have been riding my whole life, and I honestly am a little hesitant about trail ride operations in general because I’ve seen quite a few where the horses seemed like they were drugged to provide a “safe” experience to the riders, but Willow Creek is absolutely not one of those places. Our horses were immaculately behaved and clearly enjoyed their job - they are still living creatures with their own minds, so if you’re expecting that they don’t flick an ear when a herd of elk passes by, I’d recommend choosing a bicycle tour instead. The wrangler we rode with was clearly a total professional, and helped explain to us what to do if the horses get spooked by something, and while nothing happened on our ride, it was clear that we were in excellent hands if anything did happen. I’d give this place a hundred stars if I could, and I will definitely be back again and again. Thank you SO much, to all the Willow Creek staff, for such a wonderful experience you truly cannot get anywhere else!!
