Each horse is carefully selected and patiently trained specifically for riders of all sizes and abilities. The first Sombrero stable was located at the current Estes Park site. In those days, trail rides went for $1.25 and the competition was stiff with over a dozen other riding stables in the area. Lots of enthusiasm, buckets of sweat, and much determination fueled the fire that led to Sombrero's
growth and expansion over the years
Rex chose to settle into the Estes Park area along with his wife, Queeda (Pat's sister). Queeda played an active role in the development of the business from the beginning of its existence. Today, the Sombrero, Inc. operation offer visitors the opportunity to experience riding–as early settlers did–in the natural beauty of the Colorado Rockies. You won't find any souvenir shops or commercialism at Sombrero. The family has been very careful to preserve the land in order to share the dramatic beauty with their guests.
