Amazing experience!
Don and I did the Jesse James Sunset Steak Dinner Ride here after purchasing Groupons a while back. We met up at about 5 or 6pm. It's kind of confusing when you get to the location because it's just an open field and there aren't any signs of where to go. We noticed some people just sitting in their car on the road and another group of people that drove into the dirt area and were just standing outside of their car. We did the same and just waited until we saw some horses coming our way. I figured everyone there was a Groupon customer, but it turned out we were the only ones, which is why she only asked us how we wanted our steaks cooked.
There were about 10 people that came. We all had to fill out waivers and wait a while to make sure no one else was going to show up. They brought out enough horses for everyone and got out a stepping stool to help us each get on. I ended up getting "Itty Bitty" who's known to be a little stubborn (yay for me) and Don got a much larger horse (I forgot the name). Once everyone was saddled up, we began our journey around the ranch neighborhood.
I didn't even know places like this existed in Vegas. There were so many huge ranch properties and a lot of them had grazing horses out in the fields. One house even had some huge buffalo. It was a very scenic and peaceful ride. At times I'd get a little annoyed though because my horse was very slow and I couldn't get her to go any faster. She also kept stopping to eat grass and leaves. I was pretty much separated from everyone the entire time :(
The ride lasted almost two hours. I believe it got cut short because one person was allergic to dust, so he was swelling up like crazy. I really don't understand why he went horseback riding when he knew he was allergic to dust though. When we got back to the meetup spot, it was dark and they helped each person off their horse. Everyone started taking off and that's when we found out we were also the only people doing the Jesse James Sunset STEAK ride. It made it kind of awkward because it was just us two and I kind of felt like I was just going to someone's backyard and making them cook food for me. However, it was a delicious meal with steak, salad, corn, a baked potato, rolls, and apple pie that we got to enjoy by a fire.
I would love to come back here again. It's definitely an adventurous and unique experience to enjoy in Vegas.
