If you are thin skinned, don't believe in child discipline or are staunch supporters of unions and entitlement programs, then stop reading this review right now. Roudy will eagerly offend you in ways you've never heard of and be exceptionally proud of himself when you leave an emotional mess. On the other hand, if you came to Telluride to enjoy... More

We wanted to horseback ride but when Roudy found out my husband was 225+ pounds (don't tell anyone but he is up to 260! Yikes!), he said he wouldn't do that to his horses. Then he called back later and came up with a fabulous idea: go for a sleigh ride at dusk. First we were offered to use the... More

I've known this guy for over 20 years. He KNOWS HORSES. He does not suffer fools lightly. If you have an attitude, go somewhere else. But! if you want hear some of the funniest crazy non-stop stories, have a beautiful trail ride and learn what it is to be a free spirit then this is the place for you. Yep,... More

I found out about Ride with Roudy through the Telluride Chamber of Commerce. Because we visited Telluride in November, we had to go to Ride with Roudy's winter location, which is over an hour from Telluride. Talking on the phone with Roudy was not pleasant - he talked too much and made crude jokes - but i attributed this to... More

The two wranglers who accompanied our 9-person trail ride were great --- and pointed out the huge elk herd in the distance and later the bear which they thought had been the cause of the elks moving. Pointed out other nature things as well --- so nice to have a "nature trail ride". My daughter loved her horse (pony?) Butterball.

Beautiful ride through the mountains on beautiful gentle horses. Great help by the staff and Roudy was his usual witty self!

We did a 1 hour tour with our 7 and 9 year old, there first time on horseback. Roudy's staff and horses made the trip awesome. The scenery speaks for itself. Roudy is quite a character and adds to the whole experience.

Sadly, this was not the ride we had hoped for. While the scenery was beautiful, the horses appeared to be in good shape, and the female wranglers were pleasant (but seemed uncomfortable by their boss's behavior), we were not able to enjoy the ride due to Roudy. He was a full-blown mess. He was loud, crude and disrespectful. He cussed... More

While I must give credit for the solid condition of his horses - that would be the end of my positive comments. Roudy seems to think part of his "Persona" is to berate his staff at every turn, pontificate endlessly about himself and not listen to a word his guests might be telling him about their experience level. He curses... More
