    Fond memories of this place from the 90s when the 7W Ranch was active

    I have been riding with A J Brink Outfitters for the past 15 years . When the late Jim Brink took us into the mountains we knew we were in good hands . His stock was always good and we had no worries . I rode out of Sweetwater a few years ago and it was a great experience also. Nice , courteous staff , good horses and tack . If you get the chance take a trip into the mountains with A J Brink outfitters

    So worth the drive. Aura was a great guide on our 2 hour ride in snow and rain.

    Cy from AJ Brink outfitters put me on my First Mule Deer. He is very knowledgeable, and knows the land. A great guy, I recommend him for all Mule deer and Elk hunts.

    I can’t say enough about our amazing trail ride on well cared for horses and our 2 guides, Riley and McKenna. Beautiful mountain scenery away from the big resorts was well worth the drive.

    We had the best time on our 2 hour ride! Our guide was very knowledgeable, and the horses were perfectly behaved. It is not your typical commercialized ride where they try to cram as many people in as possible. Our party consisted of our guide, myself, and my husband. I would highly recommend this ranch!

    We had the most amazing experience during our trail ride with A.J. Brink Outfitters. It was truly an authentic experience with views like no other and the kindest tour guides that were so knowledgeable about the area and the horses. Mckenna and Lee were so welcoming and made this experience so amazing. If you’re looking for a trail ride near Eagle, this is the place. We will most definitely be back.

    Our family (2 adults and a child 10 yo) had an amazing riding experience! Big thanks to Rosa and Joe for guiding us. It was a lot of fun, some learning about nature and great experience with horses. They are so cute, our son couldn't stop petting them! Horses are completely child safe as far as child is able to listen and follow directions. Thank you guys, hope to return some day!

    We visited Colorado for a family reunion and wanted to experience a true mountain trail ride . AJ Brinks gave us the most amazing ride. Everyone had a great time and the view was out of this world. They are worth the extra drive for a real mountain trail ride!

    My wife and I had a scenic and enjoyable 2 hour ride with Wranglers Riley and Razel today at AJ Brinks. Also a big call out to our horses Hatchet & Pax who were sweet gentle and well mannered! This place has amazing views and well maintained trails. Highly recommend!

    Our 2-hour ride was incredible, well worth the drive out. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. The horses seem very well cared for and well trained. We’d definitely come back out!

    We used A.J. Brink this past September (2023) for a mid September Elk hunt. It was a lifelong dream to do a drop camp hunt and Aura along with her staff were first class!! Highly recommend using them and it was everything and more than we could have imagined! Thank you Aura.

    We booked with AJ Brink in mid-September for a hunting drop camp and could not be happier. Aura and her team were professional, courteous and always available if we needed anything. Everything during the trip was outstanding and I would definitely book with them in the future. A great family-owned business!

    They provided a customized horseback trip for me and several family members a few years back, into the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area, and we were quite pleased with the whole experience, would highly recommend them as first class.

    Great trip overall. Long scenic drive to get there. There were 4 of us in group with 2 kids (6yo and 9yo). Aura and Gracyn were great from the get-go in making them at ease being first time riders. Compared to previous riding, they also took their time in getting everyone set up properly on their horses to ensure a comfortable ride. The 1 hour ride was interesting and beautiful. Would highly recommend and was the highlight of our Colorado trip.

    This is an amazing place to ride!! Come see the beautiful views from atop a horse, high up in the mountains, where there are hidden lakes, wildlife, awesome picnic spots, wildflowers and so much more! Aura and staff are all wonderful, they are so much fun! Come enjoy this beautiful place with the old Town charm, rustic cabins, lakeside camping and riding for all!! You don't want to miss this incredible place!!

    Can't say enough about the staff. They really are extremely pleasant to talk with. They got great horses/Mules and work with their clients well. Not only that, the countryside is absolutely beautiful! Had nothing but great experiences with them.
