I went with my daughter since we both love horseback riding and we always make sure we go on one trip on every vacation. We have been to over 10 different horseback trips in different countries and states. And I will tell you this is in our top 3. Our guide (Kyle? I think i'm really bad with names) was super kind, super funny, super understanding and always made sure we were okay. We got lucky it was just him, me and my daughter so we were able to gallop and more. I am definitely going to recommend this place to anyone I know. Not only was the scenery amazing, we also got a few facts here and there. No matter what, this is the place for horseback rides. Thank you so much for letting us create awesome memories!

Nice ride and I loved the fact they are a horse rescue. Our guide John was super nice. A second guide (an older gentleman that I did not catch his name) showed up as our original guide was getting the horses prepared. He yelled at at belittled John in front of the tour group. That I didn’t appreciate at all. When John asked for help he snapped at him. John took it in stride and remained professional. I don’t thing it’s good business making customers feel awkward. The ride itself was fine.

They communicate very well and was so patient and had a lot of knowledge of the horse and tour we went on

My husband and I booked this as an activity during our trip to Arizona. Besides a little hiccup the day of the tour, (I was texted the wrong address from booking the morning of the trip, but we only had to wait about a half-hour for the wrangler to arrive at our location) we both have nothing negative to say! Our guide John was very charismatic and had lots of good stories to tell. My husband and I were the only ones in our tour which was nice! The route we took had beautiful views. You get a little riding demo beforehand which was nice for my husband as he's never ridden before. The horses are mild-mannered and easy to ride though. Would definitely come back again if we ever visit Arizona again. Thanks very much to our guide John for making this a memorable experience!

Brian “The Cajun Cowboy” was a very competent leader. He made sure my Mom felt comfortable after a bad experience a few years ago. He gave her back the confidence she needed to feel comfortable on a horse again. Getting to go across a river was fun. The part going through the winery was beautiful. Remember to read the instructions on what to wear!

We had a perfect experience. The guides were nice and funny and the horses super calm. We went for my daughters birthday with her roommates and they had a blast and want to come back and do it again

Great ride with beautiful scenery. It was much more exciting than I had anticipated. We got to cross a river and trek up and down hills. There were 3 wranglers with us and they were great. My son is only 6, the minimum age. They made sure to put him on a mule so there was no sudden movements. They helped him cross the river and always checked on us to make sure he was good. We had a large group and they handled it very well.

Our guide Kyle was amazing! Very kind, respectful and experienced. Highly recommend! If considering this horseback riding tour I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Amazing experience! My husband wanted to live his dream as a cowboy and he absolutely loved this experience. I on the other hand was very nervous as I’m scared of horses and heights but the rangers chose a very calm horse and were very patient and checked with me regularly if I was ok. An experience we’ll never forget and will definitely do again! Wonderful horses, scenery, experience and staff!
