I got a Groupon for a horse back ride for 4 for my wife's birthday. It sounded like fun. And this place far exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with this place and we definitely will be going back. Our trail leads were awesome. Our horses (and my mule) were great. And the views of the mountains were beautiful. Be warned. It is out in the middle of nowhere. But worth the drive. Good for beginners and experienced riders. Very friendly and helpful.

I'm not one to write reviews too often but when I do.. I'm all in. And this place deserves 5 stars out of me. Had such a great time riding horses here with my other half. They introduced us to all the horses plus other animals on the farm and The sunset ride was incredibly breathtaking. The volunteers were sooo awesome and helpful and so with that I would very much recommend everyone try this place out. It's worth the drive I promise and make sure to have full charge on your phones cause I guarantee you'll take tons of pics as we did. Thank you to everyone there including the owner who was very pleasant to talk to. Can't wait to go back and fall in love again.

This is a small ranch in the middle of the desert run by volunteers with rescue horses - love the concept! From booking through the ride itself the people are incredibly friendly and the horses well mannered. The location is down a dirt road, in a somewhat residential neighborhood and in the middle of wide open space in the desert, surrounded my mountains in the distance (but not many cactus in the area). Our wrangler, CJ, was very friendly with the kids and shared a lot of history. It's a very flat ride that winds back and forth, great for beginners. We asked about trotting with the horses and respect the desire to protect the horses, but would have liked to do a bit more given we were lucky enough to have just the four of us.

SUCH a fun experience! CJ was great, she matched us well perfectly with our horses based on our experience level and gave great tips. The ride was about 90minuted long and then we were allowed to go into the arena to ride the horses freely. The trail was gorgeous, fairly easy terrain with some up and down. Beautiful nice horses :) great group experience!!!

We found this place on Groupon by chance. Come to find out there is a horse rescue on the property; so we did not know what to expect. We had two kids under 10 in our group that have no riding experience; the guides did a great job making sure their horses were calm and safe. The rest of us, most with minimal or no riding experience all had horses that were calm and easy to ride. The ride is dusty; you are in a desert after all so be prepared. Pre-ride we had the ability to interact with multiple horses which made the kids more calm. As we came back to the stable; the horses knew exactly where to go and waited for the guides. We had such an amazing time; we will drive back down from North Phoenix again with friends.

My wife and I took our 7 year old granddaughter for her first horseback ride. It was fantastic. Our wrangler Katie was super friendly and took extra special care of our granddaughter, even walking her horse through the thick mud in the washes following the previous evening's rain fall. Her husband Nathan came out on his day off to help, and was super nice as well. They both told us stories of all the rescued horses, the ranch, and Tucson as well. After our ride Katie took the extra time to show our granddaughter some horse tricks and walk us to the barn to see the new colt, born the day before our visit.It was on their recommendation we visited the Desert Museum the next day. They were correct, it was "5 Stars"!

This place is amazing. All animals are rescues. All of the horses were so kind and gentle. Shout Out to C.J., our (volunteer) Wrangler. She was fabulous. You can opt out of the helmet but all in the group chose to wear them. Trails were nice and easy. Great for beginners. We'll definitely be back!

I made the venture out here because this place is based on an amazing premise. All the animals here are rescues, from the dogs who greet you upon arrival to the horses that take you on the trail ride. The weekend we went they were doing a special $25 for the trail ride and $10 for the wrangler for a 90 minute sunset trail ride. It was incredible! I plan to return the next time I am in town. I would suggest better signage (we were late because we drove past since there was no sign and he address was hard to read). Also, drive here in and SUV, it is a rough gravel road for a good 15 minutes!
