Summit County’s rich equestrian history, rooted in Native American and homesteader traditions, continues today through various horseback riding and wagon ride experiences offered by local businesses. Breckenridge Stables, operating for nearly 50 years on Peak 9, provides well-trained horses for trail rides with stunning mountain views and accommodates riders of all ages and abilities. Meanwhile, Summit Valley Horse Center focuses on educational programs for children to interact with horses, and Two Below Zero in Frisco offers horse-drawn chuckwagon rides featuring a barbecue dinner and Wild West show, appealing to those seeking a unique outdoor adventure without horseback riding.
These offerings not only connect visitors with the natural beauty and history of the area but also provide inclusive and family-friendly activities. From intimate trail rides and pony classes for kids to group outings and themed chuckwagon experiences, Summit County’s equestrian attractions celebrate the enduring bond between people and horses while showcasing the region’s scenic landscapes and cultural heritage.
