There's a lot to do, and a lot of food. From barbecue, to Mexican, to chocolate, and ice cream. There are also bars, they have beer, wine, and mixed drinks. Worth a look. It's at West World, so lots of parking and walking - bring your cowboy boots and go on a barn tour, eat some bbq, then have a drink, and see a show!

Not to mention that the event itself has many interactive experiences, especially for kids, including tours. Free parking at Westworld, which is a definite bonus!!

Warning: do not book with this place!…read more I flew out to visit my daughter who lives in northern Arizona. My husband had booked a two hour ride for two for $160.00 cash, only. My daughter and I drove, 30 minutes from where we were staying, to the address listed. However the map showed a residence. We backtracked one block to the backside of the original location; which was a sort of park like drive, but had a horse head on the gate. We asked if this was for riding, since there was no stables, fences, or horses, plural. We were asked for the money, given hats, told, we couldn't use our phones (for safety reasons) then told to climb up onto the sink to mount the horse that was brought into the area. Ditto for my daughter, a grown woman also. The worst part was that two people held onto our horses and literally walked the horses for forty five minutes; which they stated was the time! My view was the horses backside and the back of my daughter! I didn't know that we were booked for two hours! However, I was ready turn around as soon as I realized how messed up this was. I wish I could give it a negative 100! Ps: we were suggested to use our own cell, now, for bogus "fun" pictures! They pushed the horses together and told us to get ready for the picture. I held back because of my daughter.

As you approach this home you obviously see whatever they are doing is well with 2 teslas sitting out front. It wasn't till you see off to your left where the horses are. As we walked thru the fence area to go see if we were at the correct spot, I asked the lady in the arena giving horse lessons if this was the place for the house trails, as she seemed bothed, yet extremely, she started yes. We then asked if she had a fracility, she informed us no, since covid. As we were looking around to and contemplating where to head to the restroom to get back in time for our 830 trail ride, she was quick to respond with "I can return your money", which she repeated numerous times. Needles to say, the amount money she makes it charges, they can't afford Porta potties, signs, common courtesy. Needles to say she ruined my man's bday and a gift to my child for doing well in school. I will never recommend them to anyone

She had never ridden before when she started, and it is amazing how much he has taught her in a few months. He recently took her to a horse show and she was so well-prepared that she won first and second place in several events. I love that he is very easygoing and great with kids, but at the same time manages to teach them a lot of technical skills that make them better riders. There is a strong emphasis on safety and he focuses not only on riding, but on horse care in general. My daughter has learned so much - she feels challenged and loves every minute that she spends at the barn and in lessons. As a parent, I feel confident that she is safe and in good hands. Without a doubt, I would recommend Frisco Farms to anyone looking for riding lessons.

With prompting from our daughters we decided to gift them both a horseback riding lesson for their…read morebirthday this year. Neither of them (6 and 10) had ever been on a horse before so we researched to find a place that would take that into account. We were really excited for our girls to do the "family" fun package. I called and arranged a time for the ride. Luckily we planned to get there early as we accidentally ended up at a neighbors house and had to course correct. We got there and after filling out a lot of paperwork (waiver forms, info sheets, etc.) It was time for the girls to ride. They were each fit with a helmet and taken to a horse by the owner Anita. She had 2 other ladies with her that helped with the ride. Both girls were walked around the pen with their respective horses and learned the basic commands like move and stop. My older girl was able to catch on to direct the horse with the reins. Both girls seemed to have a good time. The only let down and the reason behind the 4 stars instead of 5, was the pretty hefty price of $120 for both my girls to be able to ride for just 30 minutes. (The owner only wanted cash or bank transfer m, FYI.) And I specifically mean 30 minutes, as the owner kept asking one of the other ladies how much time was left. That was a bit distracting and honestly made it seem like she just wanted it over with. The last concern I had was the fact that my youngest (who I admit is a talker) kept trying to talk to her and the other lady helping, but they kept having their own conversation. I had explained this was a birthday gift/celebration for both girls and we were hoping it would be special. The fact that the paying customer (who was disappointed) was being ignored is pretty sad. Luckily my girls were so excited to ride a horse they didn't see the issues I did. (Mentality of ride 30 minutes then be gone. No petting the horses or seeing the other ones.) This was a decent first experience and there was no concern for their safety, but we will probably explore other options in the future.

I'm so grateful for this community and the friends/family I've made being here. I started as an intern working with another amazing nonprofit (EmpoweRanch) and WCR graciously took us on to hold programs and give us a space to grow as a new nonprofit. ER has since moved but WCR continues to provide services and opportunities for everyone to thrive. Stalls are cleaning 2-3 times daily, water is cleaned daily, fresh alfalfa and bermuda, turn out for socializing and exercise, and supplements or other health products are given based on the owner/boarders request. The horses are treated loved on daily and have good size stalls to roll around. Chickens running around demanding you feed them meal worms and three goats! Renovations coming in the near future will make the property even better! Any donations are so appreciated as they benefit the whole community. Also, I need to give a bigger shout out to Jose Ramirez, owner of WCR because I didn't mention he is a Licensed Social worker and retired army infantry. Maeve is also now a ESMHL certified through PATH, which Sayda and I are working on now but Sayda is way closer than me. Everyone here is a total baddie

I was able to ride a lot of different horses there because I had gotten the hang of riding really fast, so they wanted me to keep trying new things. I was here about one/two years. It was great, until I went on a trail ride with my instructor and a few other experienced students. Nearing the end of the ride, the horse I was riding got spooked and took off at a gallop, causing the other horses to spook as well. I had never galloped before, so I stayed on as long as I could before I was thrown. I injured my elbow and had bruised tissue in my hip. After I had recovered from that experience, I was afraid to canter like I used to. As soon as I got back we went to normal lessons that involved centering. I wasn't ready mentally to canter, but the instructor (Lisa) Kept trying to get me to canter. After I wouldn't canter she got a little frustrated. That was the first of the problems. As the weeks passed by she kept on filling the classes with five kids, including me, at a time. Most of which didn't know how to control their horses very well. The arena was packed and I didn't feel safe. Then my instructor tried to put me on a horse I had prior issues with. When I brought up my concerns, she tried to put me on a different horse that hadn't been ridden in a long time and they had to call someone to get permission to use. That was my last time ever going there. I left as soon as i heard her try to call someone. Im sad about that though because I had so much fun riding here. I hope to revisit this place, but i will most likely be looking for a different place to ride in the future.
