Father daughter horse ride - The backdrop of the mountains was so beautiful. We showed up and the people were so friendly and the ranch was amazing. I brought my father and he had a great time. The horses were so sweet and Thelma and Louis (little goats) were so cute! I highly recommended.

Fun! - Beautiful scenery, kind and friendly guides. Great experience. We had very limited experience horseback riding but we’re given great instruction and assurance. The horses were very calm.

Memorable Adventure - An amazing adventure! Our guide, Denver, was a great leader, storyteller, and knew the horses well. After his orientation, he kept the group safe, secure, and comfortable. This event is perfect for any skill level.

Riding Ricky Bobby in the Mountains - Well, I got Ricky.Bobby which by the way my name is Bobbi but that boy was so big, probably the biggest in the group but the most gentle. I brought up the rear but felt so comfortable and relaxed. Jason and Aspen are the best. They helped me off the horse while my friend fell, hee hee, but I didn't get to see it. Again, a must. I am from Chicago and the weather and landscape were phenomenal.

Save your money and go for a balloon ride!! - Unless you're just wanting to say you rode horses in NM I would not recommend this. We had a less than friendly welcome from our guide Denver. He did not seem to be in best of moods the morning we arrived and acted agitated that we had not filled out a waiver prior to arrival. He had us fill out the waiver on his phone and treated us like 5 year olds by thrusting his phone toward us saying "sign and hand back." We were positioned at the back of the line the entire ride, while girls who were closer to his age were placed in line line right behind him. As a result we could not really hear anything he said the entire ride and ate dust the entire time. He was very impersonable and kind of a jerk. However, the girl who assisted him in getting the horses ready was very sweet and kind. The ride travels through thorny brush mixed with a few cactus. Nothing to see. Save your money and go for a balloon ride!!

2 hours of the same... - 2 hours of the same scenery is way too long. The guides have no narrative throughout the tour. I don’t think love the place or their job very much.
