We spent 5 nights at the Holy Smoke Resort and booked a trail ride with Holy Smoke Resort Horse Rides on Thursday, August 4. The stables are located right across the street from Holy Smoke Resort. We booked a couple of days in advance and were the first ones out on Thursday morning. We were a family of 4 with my wife, 10 year old daughter and 12 year old son. All of us have ridden a couple times in the past but we're certainly no experts.
The husband and wife owners were excellent and picked out horses to match each individual rider. They gave us quick instructions and we were off. The trail goes back in the woods through ponderosa pines, up and down through some valleys. At our turnaround point, we had a really nice side view of Mount Rushmore. It was really a surprise. On the way back to the stables, we had on and off profile views of Mount Rushmore.
All-in-all, a very nice ride with some very pretty scenery including Mount Rushmore. The horses were all very well behaved and we had no troubles. Our ride lasted about 1 hour. We would definitely do again!!
I should mention, the husband and wife team working the stables are different from 2015. There are a few bad reviews from last year, but keep in mind, this is a brand new team and a very good one at that.

My husband and I took our boys 12 & 8 on their first trail ride and they LOVED it! I called ahead to Holy Smokes Stables to make sure there was room on the tour and the woman I talked to was so friendly and helpful! (I am so sorry, I am horrible with names) We arrived plenty early and were able to watch the horses and the owners getting them ready. The ride took us down in the canyon which was beautiful with long grasses and gorgeous rocks. There was another family riding with us who also had 2 boys riding for their first time 12 & 14. We were all told the names of our horses and any exciting stories they had. The owners were wondeful and Macy did a fantastic job as our guide. We will definitely return when we are back in the area!

We stayed at the Holy Smoke Resort for 3 days in June and really enjoyed our stay there. I wrote a separate review for the resort, but the horseback riding is leased by a couple who owns the horses. They are very nice people and the horses were fun to ride. I was satisfied with the trip (my wife, and 13rd old daughter). My daughter loved it, but I was hoping for a better view. The ride took us down into a canyon, which was nice, but really nothing to see in there. If I went horseback riding again in the Black Hills, I would probably shop around and ask where the trail leads and what the views are.

First let me say I am just returning from a vacation that took the family to Keystone SD. Where we attempted And had a riding appointment at the holy smoke resort horse ride. We arrived a few minutes early at 0900 Monday morning for our 2 hour ride. The sign out front said closed but people were moving around the horses. At this time we are told there is a issue and coule we reschdule our ride time so we agreeded to a noon ride time. So off we went as we had three hours to see other site and do other things. At 1130 we are heading back for our noon ride we received a call stating that now the noon ride would have to be cancelled would we please call back tomorrow. Let me tell you we called back Tuesday 7/28, Wednesday 7/29, Thursday 7/30 and to this day we have still never heard back from the holy smoke resort horse rides. Now I will say that my 12 yr old daughter was looking forward to a horse back ride in the mountains. But thanks to the Holy Smokes Resort horse rides her wish did not come true. Do yourself and your family a favor avoid the holy smokes horse resort. And yes the office is nothing more than a small shack, and you might want to rethink driving up in a small car as it might get stuck in the ruts in the washed out parking lot.

Our guide Emma was a great guide. Myself, my husband and son are all experienced riders so she put us on horses that suited our riding experience. She let us ride without constantly yelling to stay in line, etc. She told us if we needed her she was there for whatever help was required. We rode through the Black Hills and it was very pretty. We recommend the horseback riding tour. Thanks Emma!

I stumbled upon Holy Smoke with a quick google search. Like most of my SD research, I felt a little bit skeptical with the lack of a solid website, etc. But decided after calling and talking to the amazing Emma--that it would all be well. The spot is a little hard to find just using Siri, but once again---a call to Emma and we found our way. Once we arrived, Emma took so much time with us, introducing us to our horses. her genuine care and love for the horses was so apparent, it was great to be in the presence of someone who truly seems to love what they do. Our trip was beautiful and scenic, and I couldn't have asked for a more caring, sweet and knowledgeable tour guide. I am confident this one hour of horse time will live in my kiddos hearts and minds for a very, very long time. I highly recommend making this part of your South Dakota experience!

Decided to take my ten year old, my father, and husband on a trail ride. My husband and son have never ridden before. Our guide was Emma and she was amazing. Very gentle horses and very easy to see that Emma loves every horse and in return they react to anything she says. We did an hour ride and Emma kept us entertained the whole way, she also made sure to stop and take our pictures so we can always remember our trip. My ten year says this was he favorite thing we did on vacation!

Check-in area was a ramshackle building, gravel parking lot. When we arrived, we were told by the completely unconcerned worker that the previous ride had left about 30 minutes late, so our trail ride would be delayed by about 40 minutes. (No phone call to warn us?) The poor horses were working hard--same ones that arrived with the previous party were re-saddled for us and immediately hauled us up and down the mountain. The trail was rough, although beautiful scenery. Use a bathroom before you arrive--I will have nightmares about the fly-infested port-a-potty they indicated we could use. Guide was very nice and knew what she was doing. Bottom line: do a little research and find a place that's better organized.

Great horses, great ride, great guides. A great trail ride through the Black Hills Nat'l Forest with friendly, funny guides. Wear jeans/pants as some of the trails are small and you will rub up against some trees.
