Great for any rider novice or experienced. Gentle horses and great leader. We had a really calming and beautiful ride. We will recommend for our out of town guests to do this. You see much more and learn more when seen from the back of a horse!

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
Excellent!

Great guide (Brian), very informative and it was a very nice ride. The horses were docile and have obviously done this many times.
Funny Cowboys!

The ride was super fun and they catered it really well to the whole group! Super funny cowboys who know how to make it a good time! I’d definitely come back.

TERRIBLE Drove 1 hr go the correct location, date and time. Have timed pictures to document this. NO ONE SHOWED UP! Not even an email or anything to tell us the tour could not be done. Wasted a day of our vacation.
Cowboy dreams come true

Kyle was a great guide, we enjoyed the slow paced walk. It takes 15 minutes to learn the horse, and then it’s smooth sailing. Beautiful views and crossing the creek was a great experience. Would recommend to everyone.

Kyle did an amazing job with our tour! He was down to earth and easy to talk to. He knew about about the land and the horses.
Amazing experience!

Enjoyed the trail and crossing the creek! Also liked Peanut. The guides were friendly and helpful. This was my first time on horseback. If I have any family or friends who plan to vacation here, I will definitely recommend they do the horseback ride.
Disappointed
EDWARD_C, Jul 2023
Drove over an hour each way. Arrived on time. When we arrived the office was closed. Nobody there except two people trying to find horses and prepare them. The ride was supposed to be from 0800-0930. There was no way that was happening and we had a schedule to meet that morning. Left and drove back to Flagstaff.
Fantastic time

Our favorite thing we did on our trip to Arizona. Thomas was great. The Verde River is beautiful. It was shaded and we even went through the river on the horses. Would definitely recommend.

Tomas was amazing thank you so much. Must go. It’s for all ages. The river crossing was fun. Would be coming back
Absolutely amazing!
Kristi_P, May 2023
Had an absolute blast!!! The sights were beautiful, the horses were gentle and the ride was very smooth. Tomas was very friendly, played the harmonica and talked about the history of the area, the wildlife and was very knowledgeable about the horses. He saddled each horse himself, made adjustments to each rider and took us on a gorgeous route. Crossing the River was my favorite part. Will definitely come back for a ride!

Tomas (Mr.T) our guide was awesome, great guy, and Management was very friendly. I love how the horses are all rescues and given a second chance. The only thing is some horses were not matched up with people that are inexperienced riders very well and there was an incident with a rider due to two horses not getting along when riding next to each other.
Amazing
Greg_S, Jul 2022
Amazing time, beautiful views and a nice day out for a ride. I would definitely recommend to friends and family

Keys was a funny dude who was very knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed ourselves. We booked this early in the morning over breakfast and had no issues getting here. The horses and other animals were well-behaved and great to interact with. Overall pleasant experience.
An Incredible Experience
Sarah_R, Apr 2022
This was a last minute idea my boyfriend & I had over breakfast the previous morning. We DEFINITELY are glad we did! Keys was an incredible guide and told lots of great stories. I can’t wait to come back & bring my whole family for this experience!
