Awesome experience, and great views. Our guides were McKenna and Rachel. They were so informative, and kind. They made the trail ride even better! Horses were great, and the trail ride exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the experience. Horseback riding through the wilderness area. Small group with an experienced guide. Horses were beautiful and well behaved. Opportunity to stop for pics.

    It was a fabulous day. We had 2 fantastic wranglers, Emily and Layla. It rained on us which added to the beauty of the experience.

    Rain or shine, Emily and Lea always make it a fabulous ride. A little rain adds sparkle to the scenery. Thanks for riding with us!

    Beautiful views of the valley. Emily was great. Restaurant at the ranch was also very good. Horses were standard trail horses.

    Robert_M, Jul 2025
    The scenery was wonderful during the trail. The wrangler did an excellent job making my kids feel comfortable, teaching them about English riding and the mountain region, along with matching them with a horse. Please remember to bring bug spray as the ride does go through a forested area.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you for sharing your riding experience here at the ranch. We hope to see you again soon. Safe travels.

    Scenic Trail Ride

    David_L, Jun 2025
    Took our family up to Turpin Meadow Ranch for a trail ride. Could not have had a better experience! Emily, our lead wrangler, was so great with our kids, especially our 9 year old son who was terrified to get on the horse. She made him feel at ease, and engaged with him the whole ride; even playing games with him along the way. The ride itself was beautiful, and the horses were all very well trained and easy to manage. 10/10 would recommend!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! Emily is truly a gem, and we’re so proud of the care and attention she gives to every guest, especially our younger riders. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to her! We hope to welcome you all back again soon for more adventures in the mountains.

    Wonderful Family experience

    Ali_V, Jun 2025
    Had the best afternoon at Turpin Meadow ranch. Stunning scenery, great ride with knowledgeable wrangler who showed our daughter an incredible time. Stay for the afternoon dewrangling. It was amazing. Thank you Leia! We had a great day.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful afternoon at the ranch. It’s always special when a ride leaves lasting memories, especially for the kids! We’ll be sure to pass your thanks along to Lea; she’ll be so happy to know she made your day extra special.

    Relaxing with amazing views!

    Our former exchange student and her fiancé came to visit, so we made a trip out to Yellowstone. Her and I both ride , so I wanted to have a great experience going out in this absolutely beautiful land. Our guide Emily was awesome! We 4 had such a great time! We were here for 4 days and it was probably the highlight of the trip. We made reservations at their restaurant for lunch after and was not disappointed! Yummy food! The game sausage platter and the bison cheesesteak was delicious!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Now that’s how you host visiting VIPs! We’re so glad you saddled up with us and made Turpin part of your Yellowstone adventure. Thank you for the shoutout to Emily for keeping the ride fun and memorable, and we couldn’t agree more about that sausage platter and bison cheesesteak (they tend to steal the show!). Thanks for riding, dining, and making us a highlight of your trip. Come back anytime—there’s always a horse and a plate waiting for you!

    Awesome horse back riding adventure

    My wife and I had an amazing time. The ranch is absolutely beautiful and the staff was amazing. Our wrangler, Macy, was great and took us on a beautiful, 2 hour tour. Our horses were Hans and Mugs and they were beautiful, well taken care of horses.

    Great ride!

    John_S, Sep 2024
    We had a great ride and Macy was wonderful. I would go back for sure! Very friendly horses and staff!

    Best Part of our time in Jackson!!!

    Paul_D, Aug 2024
    Hands down the best part of our trip. We had the pleasure of working getting paired with an excellent wrangler named Ava and would recommend requesting her if you make the trip out. The horses were beautiful and very easy to work with. The ride was so much fun and the ranch is cute and well-kept.

    Loved the small group. McKenna was a wonderful guide and worked with my 9 year old. She loved it so much. Thank you for a great experience

    Response from Host, Mar 2025

    Thank you for a great review, McKenna is our barn manager and just so amazing! Hope to see you again soon!

    Awesome afternoon

    Jason_L, Aug 2024
    We had an awesome time with Ava on our horseback ride! She made us feel confident about the experience, and the trail ride was beautiful. Ava told us about the different plants and landscape of the area as we rode, along with fun stories about the horses. The two hour ride was just right and the highlight was gorgeous views of the Tetons in the distance! I also highly recommend making reservations at the ranch’s restaurant after the trail ride! The meal and service was exceptional!

    Relaxing Ride with great views

    Emily and McKenna (spelling🤔) were great! Absolutely the most beautiful ride since I was a kid! I highly recommend not going on a 32 mile bike ride the day before lol but would do it again on another trail!!!! Gorgeous views of the Tetons and the forest! Can bring water and phones for those who need it! Saddle bags on all horses! 🥰

    Up the Mountain we go!🐴

    Dee_B, Jul 2024
    Great ride up the mountain on Coke and Camanchee! Guides were great and horses did awesome! Be sure to take plenty of water with you, as it’s easy to get dehydrated!😉 Highly recommend this tour!

    Randy_K, Sep 2023
    Brenna was an excellent guide! She made me feel comfortable and confident all along the ride (I used to be nervous riding horses). She was an awesome conversationalist and gave clear instructions; she knows the horses well. The ranch is beautiful at the end of a country road. We had lunch at their restaurant after the ride -- excellent food, service, wine and beer! It was a memorable day and one of the highlights of our trip to the Grand Teton area.
