My friend and I met for an AZ trip and this was one of our activities and we had a blast! My city girl friend had never ridden a horse before and the guides were incredibly patient and made the experience so comfortable for her. Our guide (Chaz) was excellent! Funny and friendly and really took time to make sure everyone was safe and having fun. Couldn’t recommend the tour more!

Marina and Stan were great! Horses were sweet. Everything ran on or ahead of schedule, which was great because it was a bit of a warm day.

This was a wonderful experience. Great staff. Beautiful horses. Very patient guidance. My only concern is that we were a party of five and one of our party became very ill, and we were unable to get a refund on that person’s reservation. I understand not wanting to have a sudden cancellation of five, but I don’t think this is a good policy.

Excellent. Very calm horses. Skilled wranglers. Lots of kids and first time riders, but they made it fun and safe. Would recommend to families with kids. (Mine were 12, 10, and 7.)

Its easy. The horses are real good. The guide was exceptional. No snakes, and the other attendees were good, too.

The (adult) girls rode horses while the boys golfed, and we had a ball. The location is secluded and one could imagine riding in the Old West. The trail was fairly steep, but one member of our party had never been on a horse and felt comfortable. We had 3 professional guides - shout-out to Steve, Chaz, and Dean - who were safety-conscious and knowledgeable. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that our particular group had a lot of riders so there was a fair amount of pausing and getting bunched up. This is pretty typical of tourist trail riding, though, and we were all glad we did it.

We had a blast! It was a beautiful ride around the ranch property, with lots of up and down on rocky trails that kept it interesting. Horses were great and the guides Delaney and Steve were even better!

They made it super easy and enjoyable.There were 3 guides for a group of 16 persons. They took us to a nearby hill via a trail and back. Loved it.

I was a first time rider. MATT our guide showed me everything I needed to know to be safe and have a great time . He is an AMAZING Wrangler !

My sister and I were so lucky to have found this place as a recommendation from another tour we took. Matt was our wrangler and was absolutely the best. We had great conversation, an incredible ride and he took pics and a video for us. He was truly the best. Jen also was so nice to speak with and work with as the weather wasn’t great and called and asked if we wanted to push it out to a bit later which ended up being perfect. We also met Gina who recommended for me to go to Cody when I travel to Wyoming in March and Houston saddled up our horses and was so nice to talk to. We rode Tucker and Pancake and could not have had a better ride. Matt and Jen thank you for an incredible experience. We will definitely be back

Fantastic ride out with a wrangler called George. Such a character. All the horses were well covered, had lovely shiny coats & had direct access to water troughs.
Hubby & I were taken for an hour & a half. The terrain was tricky but the horses were sure footed. I would recommend this to anyone as an experience to have while visiting the area.

This was a nice easy trail ride. Great for beginners and kids. These horses are nose to tail horses. As an experienced rider this was enjoyable, easy ride. Everyone was pleasant.

The trip to the Sedona area was relaxing and the experience is phenomenal. The staff is friendly and the horses are so gentle. Great for first time riders.

There was inclement weather in the morning, and so the heck experienced a lot of cancellations. What that meant for us was that me and my fiancé had a private tour. Newt was informative and personable. It was a fantastic experience, and one that I am hopeful will come back next year to enjoy again.

Our guide Pete, was awesome! It was my first time ever horseback riding. Navajo, my horse, was very patient with me and we went very slow. The trails were rocky, but the horses did great and obviously had done it before. I felt very safe the whole time with Pete with us. The scenery was amazing. Well worth it! I wore hiking boots, but I think tennis shoes would have been just fine.

Matt and crew were incredible guides! They were great with the kids (both age 7) and made our time on the trail lots of fun. The horses we rode (Navajo, Magic, Grandma and Bart) were calm and listened to commands well, and the girls had “the best time ever!” We highly, highly recommend this business if you’re looking to ride horses near Sedona!

10/10 would do again. The horses are amazing, well cared for obviously, and know the trails. This is perfect for all levels of riding experience. The landscape is breathtaking, the horses are sweet and the guide was amazing.

We had a wonderful time. I had really no experience with horses prior to this and the staff did a great time, and the horses were fantastic

David was amazing!! Gave me the perfect horse that matched my personality! Safe and cautious! Toyota was sweet, patient, and it was the perfect execution to see the mountains!

Houston was a great guide, the horses were beautiful and easy to ride. It was a highlight of our trip to AZ for sure!

My ride was an amazing experience. Great company, great horses and don’t forget the cattle dogs. It was a special day and I will never forget it. I will book here again next time I am in town. Highly recommend!!

Nice hillside ride great views.
David was an excellent trail guide. Great attention to safety issues and rider experience.
Britney_L, Jul 2024
This place was great! We were lucky enough to be the only ones booked with them for the morning and got their whole undivided attention. Our guide, Matt, talked with us the whole time and helped our daughter feel comfortable on the horses. He always made sure our group was together and that no one was falling behind. The horses were super gentle and well trained. We got some special attention and perks for being the only people that morning. It's something that we will definitely do again on our next visit!
Cheryl_H, Jul 2024
We loved the experience both Anna and Matt were great I was a bit nervous because I had really only ridden once before but they both made me feel at ease on the ride. I wouldn't have a problem reccomending this event to anyone.
Signa_O, Jun 2024
Horses gentle, staff very professional and caring when I became overheated because temperature was greater than 100 degrees. Highly recommend this ride and everyone at this ranch. Anna and Janice thank you for everything. Dean and Signa

We had a great ride. All of the horses were very well behaved. There is also a donkey and a few goats to pet.. We brought apples for all of the horses and the donkey, which they loved. 🙌🤩

It was my daughter’s first time horseback riding. She had a great time. Guide was wonderful and the horses were too.
