Rusty Spurr Ranch is Colorado's premier horse outfit as featured on Colorado Getaways. We offer a variety of unique experiences to accommodate any equine-related desire our guests have. From punchin' cattle on 10,000 plus acres of open range to riding through the tranquil aspen and evergreen-filled mountain forests for unrivaled panoramic views of the Continental Divide, Never Summer, and Gore ranges, you are sure to leave with memories of Colorado's rugged beauty etched in your memory. Our unique products, such as the all-day Saddle & Paddle and Cattle Drives, will ensure that you capitalize on all that Colorado has to offer. The Rusty Spurr embodies the essence of the West with our authentic staff of cowboys and cowgirls and vast expanse of undeveloped and highly diversified terrain. A ride with us will make you feel as though you stepped back in time 150 years to the days when the Ute Indians rode the very same land.
What better way to view the beauty of Colorado's wilderness than from the back of a horse? Our small ride sizes and non-nose-to-tail rides ensure that our guests receive the personal attention they deserve to have a truly interactive horseback experience. Our remote location, conveniently accessed from scenic Highway 9, ensures the preservation of the same wildlife and landscape that the first settlers discovered in the 19th century. It is not uncommon for guests to encounter deer, elk, antelope and other large game on our rides. You won't find noise from condo construction or other activities here. The whispering of the wind and the steady beat of your horses hooves are all that you will hear as they carry you through forests of aspen and pine to the breathtaking, mountain top vista of six different mountain ranges and back down through the fragrant, sage-filled high plains desert.

The nature of this truly western adventure allows riders of all abilities to participate and ride to their individual comfort/ability level. Chasing cows on over 10,000 acres of land is bound to be an experience you won't soon forget.

GROUPS/TEAM BUILDING - Looking for a great team building experience? We offer flexible team building packages to corporate customers both large and small. Come and be a part of a western tradition with Colorado's premier horse outfit. Check in at 8:30 and enjoy a short scenic drive to Cowboy Camp where you will mount up and have a short riding lesson before taking to the hills to gather and drive a herd of cattle on over 10,000 acres of open range. Your group will drive the herd 3 or more miles with a panoramic view of the Gore Range, the Williams Fork Mountains, and the Continental Divide. Riding varies from open sagebrush to aspen and pine-covered hills, but any way you go you are in the Heart of The Rockies. A home cooked western meal awaits your return! This activity involves 3 1/2 - 4 hours of riding. We can accommodate up to 20 riders on each Cattle Drive. This activity can be a structured team-building event with specific goals, objectives and analysis or simply as an opportunity to have a fun, interactive outing with your staff. For the experienced riders we can customize a cattle drive to meet your needs.
We can tailor a great western experience for groups!
