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!

Even though I’m 67 and hadn’t been on a horse
for a long time, it was a big goal of mine to ride
One last time. Now, I think I will seek out trail rides at home & on all my travels. I’m so glad I
picked this company to ride with. It was
exactly what I needed.
Had a great time, my horse Jesse did amazing and was so patient with me. Dean is a great guide and made my first time rider husband feel very safe and confident.
Horrible experience. What should have been a fun horseback ride ended with my daughter and me in the hospital.
We’ve ridden horses before, and this was by far our worst experience. The trail was steep, narrow, and rocky, with some of the horses slipping along the way. In my opinion, this is absolutely not a beginner-friendly ride. I also had concerns about how well the horses were cared for, and some appeared to have vision problems.
My daughter was bucked off her horse, landed face-first on rocks, and rolled partway down a ravine. Then my horse bucked me off, injuring my shoulder, I felt something pop. My friend’s horse also took off with her still on it.
The fire department had to carry my daughter out, and we were both taken to the hospital. My daughter now has damage to her lower back at L5–S1, and we have to follow up with her doctor to find out what treatment she needs.
We were told this was a rare occurrence. However, when the fire department came to rescue my daughter, I heard a firefighter tell the owner, “We need to stop meeting this way.” That comment made me question how rare these incidents actually are.
This was a terrifying experience that has left us dealing with injuries and follow-up medical care. I would never recommend this company.
My friends and I had the best time on our horseback riding adventure with our guide Delaney! The horses were very well behaved (and very cute) and the trail itself had amazing views. Highly highly recommend and would come again!
Unique and fun activity for the family whether riding a horse for the first time or experienced. Matt and Dean were excellent.
An amazing experience exploring the outdoors of Arizona on horseback with my family! Our fearless leader Matt was outstanding as were our trusted horses! It definitely was a great trail ride that lead us up and down and all around! A great memory made! Thanks Cowpoke Ride: Adventurous Horseback Tours
Jan was WONDERFUL! As a first time rider this experience couldn’t have been any better!! Jan was very knowledgeable about the ranch and provided valuable information about the area. 10/10 experience will be returning!
Absolutely wonderful! First time riders are well informed and receive a fun and friendly experience. The horses were all soo friendly and well trained. I will absolutely do this again.

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!
Friendly staff - good trail riding horses - pretty location - time spent on trails was sufficient and enjoyable. Good for all ages.
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!!
