Top San Miguel de Allende Horseback Riding

This was my family and I first time to San Miguel and wanted to do something besides museum's and walking the squares. My 2 teen daughters loved it as well as my husband and I. We are not experienced riders one bit. This is a family owned and operated ranch for the last 60 plus years. Leo and his family went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and safe. This is a working ranch which also provides half day tours and even longer excursion's with over night camping if desired. The morning trip differs a bit from the evening tour. Missing you get greeted with coffee and you get to milk a cow which they use to create queso that you end up eating at lunch. The food is homemade includes appetizer and a full course and drink. It was so delicious. The riding trip was amazing, you literally travel down a canyon and then back up. There is a pit stop at a very small town which has a small storefront for drinks and snacks to purchase (cash only) beer was nice and cold. The terrain can be hard and they can customize it to you level of comfort. We were and to gallop and do some intermediate riding. My girls loved it as did we, of course now our thighs are aching but that is due to us not ever riding. Leo speaks very good English, and everyone makes an effort. If you get the opportunity I highly suggest you go, it’s only 30 minute drive from the downtown square. They even picked us up from our AirBNB. We have amazing pictures they use your own phone to take them for you so no need to worry about Paul h extra for a photography package.

Very enjoyable. We were picked up in comfort taken to the stables. There were 5 in our group. The horses are so smart and gentle. Crossing water several times. Then up a beautiful trail. We had cowboys and dogs with us the whole time. Wonderful experience

We were asked to move the ride from 5 pm to 6 pm, so we sort of missed the sunset, and went to two cantinas and then at the very end of the tour were left at a third cantina/restaurant that had food. When I signed us up I thought we were riding through a park, but the tour we had took us through the center of San Miguel de Allende on the cobblestone roads. One of our members was very unsure about riding and she was put on the most spectacular and steady horse(Capitán) and she had a great time. I was beyond thrilled to ride the beautiful Palomina, Chiquita. My husband road an Appaloosa (Covy [Covid]) and his saddle had a machete attached, so for picture purposes, he was happy. There were four people in our party and two in the other. For the six of us they had a lead guide on a horse, an additional guide in the middle also on a horse, AND a third guide who WALKED behind us to make sure all was okay. That is how slow were were going. So, THREE guides for 6 guests. The horses were very well behaved and seemed to enjoy their route/trek. We rode for almost an hour before the first stope. The first cantina was up on top of the hill and the bartenders were very kind. The second cantina we had actually been to earlier in the week during a tacos and tequila tour. It was nice to have some familiarity. Lastly, they took some pictures of our groups before they left us at a third restaurant that had live music and food. The Guides really took care of us and the horses. I feel like a tour through the town, while a little crowded with cars, —was charming. The city is really beautiful and getting to see it slightly elevated, and slowly was really memorable. Little kids and families would come to the doors of their houses and wave. It was overall a fun experience. The cantinas they picked were authentic and it was great to be left at a restaurant where we had dinner and enjoyed a rock band. Note that for the two hour tours the drinks are not included, so when you stop you order and pay for your drinks.
