Great outdoor experience - Booked the night before and I was the only person on the ride. Felt so privileged. Could not have been better. Everyone was super friendly and the horses seem so very well cared for. Would not hesitate to recommend or to go back again. Thank you.

Book your adventure! - We had an amazing time! Ava and Cherokee led us on a trail to fantastic views of the mountains and the terrain. We very much enjoyed the tour and conversations with Ava. Great for beginners and comfortable riders. Very calm and well-trained horses with personality! It’s a wonderful trip and worth the drive to Tucson. Definitely not a money grab! Go for it!

Excellent experience! Highly recommend. - I'm visiting AZ and wanted to try a horseback ride for the first time. This was very enjoyable and just what I was hoping for! Ari was an excellent guide, super friendly and knowledgeable, and Chuck (my horse) was gentle and easy to ride. I'd definitely recommend this experience and I'm likely to come back again next year.

Slow and steady ride - A meditative horse ride. There were 3 of us, including the guide, and followed a dirt -sand trail for 90 minutes. Once we rode to a higher elevation it was pretty. Don't expect any trotting etc. No surprises.
