Excellent experience! Would do it over and over again!!My husband I did a private tour, it was booked for 90 minutes but ended up being two hours.We totally loved the property as they had antique from equipment and vehicles that was nice to look at!This is a family run business and all very very nice. Very close to sequoia national park and the tour takes you into the park. They also take pictures for you.Would definitely recommend!!!

This place checks all the boxes. Authentic experience, beautiful and I mean stunningly beautiful surroundings next to the Saguaro National Monument, East next to a wash with views of the mountains. The ride through the monument isn't too long or too short, just right. Definitely check this place out!

This is a very nice stable owned by a "rodeo family." They use retired rodeo horses, which make for very nice, well-mannered rides. The horses appear to be happy and healthy. The staff is very nice. All in all it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to ride with them again.

Houston's 2 hr trail ride was a beautiful ride through a wash and through the Saguaro National Park. This family owned business is well run from the easy booking process, text confirmations and accommodations. They took my Nana on their golf cart from her car to the horse stables and were very patient with her as she got on and off the horse. Tip: A 2 hour trail tide might be an hour too long for your 86 year old grandparent no matter how much they insist they can handle it. I rode Tom who was sweet and easy to ride. I'd like to try a private in the future.

Myself and guest were looking for last minute horseback riding in the Tucson area. Called at almost 5 pm on a Saturday. Warmly greeted by a nice women who made space for us for a Sunday morning ride. We took off late as one party was running 30 minutes behind. It was the gals birthday so we all understood. Light slow 2 hours of trail ridding. Horses were very pleasant and well trained. You could see they were well loved and cared for the the staff. Our partied varied. A few seemed comfortable on a horse - others had no idea what they were doing. So this place is fine for all. Staff was very patient and understanding of guest. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone I know. Thank you all for a good time!

Went for a private trail ride with Bobbi this week. We had never really been horseback riding before but they helped us immensely along the course of the ride. It was truly a memorable way of experiencing Saguaro National Park and gave us the vantage point to truly enjoy the immense beauty of the area. If you do one thing in Tucson, go for a trail ride. It was our favorite experience.

Had a great time trail riding through Saguaro National Park with Bobbi and Lori today. They were able to accommodate our group of 8 with only an hour's notice, and we spent the next 2 hours enjoying the beautiful scenery on very well behaved horses. I only wish I lived in the area so I could come back!

I don't ride as often as I'd like to, partly because I live in Chicago. This year I decided to schedule a horseback riding lesson while visiting Tucson and after reading a ton of reviews, selected Houston's. I hit the jackpot! I learned more in 90 minutes than I did in all the trail rides I've taken before. Bobbi was awesome and a wealth of horse knowledge, not to mention a patient and kind teacher. The ride was beautiful and for the first time, I got off my horse not feeling sore. Amazing- when someone tells you how to sit what a difference it makes. I've already scheduled another ride in three days. Can't say enough good things about Houston's. I even splurged and bought some boots after she recommended a place.

My family and I enjoyed the trail ride. Horses were responsive; staff members were helpful; and views were nice. I especially liked having one trail guide every 4-5 riders. Only suggestion is that you might provide wireless headphones or headset so we could better follow or hear the guide's commentary during the ride. Otherwise, very enjoyable.

Loved it. The only suggestion from me as a 70 year old. Offer a one hour tour and ride. Two hours was to much for me. Otherwise great experience. Thank you all !
