What a fun experience! How could you NOT give 5 stars to this business?!?!? Never ridden a horse before? Don't worry! It was my first time riding a horse but I already want to go back again! We were welcomed by a friendly owner of the business and his cute puppies. He explained us how to control a horse and we started slow. I was scared to death and was screaming like a little kid at first, but I got used to it after 10 minutes and had so much fun! My horse was very calm and easy to ride, while my friend's horse only wanted to drink water and eat grass haha We rode through beautiful pecan trees covered with snow. My husband was really excited saying "let's go back every week!" On our way home haha but I agree! It was super fun and if you've never done it yet, you need to go!!!!! read more

El Paso Trail Rides - Coon Family 2019 - Horseback Riding Near Me - Anthony, New Mexico

I'm saying this in the most Basic-female way... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! Just yaaaaaaas! I spent a fair share of time around horses as a kiddo and I've always missed that living in EP (however, I can't think of a single day where I haven't seen a horse or two in tow on I-10). Yes, you can go horseback riding in El Paso and no, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I can't give a higher recommendation for El Paso Trail Rides though so if you're even slightly considering going horseback riding just go to EPTR! Spur of the moment, my boyfriend and I decided to go horseback riding with one of his daughters (although we didn't let her know this...she may or may not have thought we were getting a puppy). He called up a different riding stable, but their name isn't worth mentioning since 1. They didn't answer; and 2. They never returned our voice-mail. And of course me being the Yelp-lover that I am, I immediately said, "WHY YOU NO USE YELP?!?" He clicked around on Yelp, found EPTR, and we had a ride scheduled for 5 PM. As we drove away from EP and took some windy roads and ended up in front of a small stable, his daughter finally realized we weren't getting a puppy. And as apprehensive as she was about being within spitting distance of a horse, we got her to shuffle out of the car and pet a couple of the horses while we waited for one of the owner's to return. Just being out there and petting the few horses made my heart flutter...these are the kind of things in life I love. Of course all of these horses are well-behaved and used to strangers approaching...no need to be scared even if you've never seen a horse up-close-and-personal before. When the staff returned we signed the waiver and saddled up...well, figuratively speaking because they already had the saddles on the horses from the previous ride. All of these horses are gorgeous and taken care of very well. Each horses' personality was really prominent and it actually elevated the experience. My boyfriend's daughter spotted a horse that kept one of her back legs raised and deemed her "Sexy Legs" and then stated, "I definitely don't want 'that' horse." She was given Sexy Legs. Because of the horses choice of leg position she felt as though it would buck her off...I can happily say the horse DID NOT buck her off, but it did have an eating problem that she was afraid to rectify so it made for some hilarious moments during the ride around the area. My horse didn't get a quirky nickname, but she seemed to be harboring some romantic feelings for one of the horses that was in a committed relationship with Sexy Legs. And my better-half rode a horse with an attitude (probably upset that none of the girl horses were interested in him). But in all seriousness these horses were great! It's obviously a trail they follow pretty regularly so they need very little guidance, but at the same time they are very receptive to guidance if you feel comfortable directing them. Did I mention the stables are owned and operated by a family of the friendliest people you'll ever meet? 'Cause they are! From start to finish they're there for you, making sure you're not endangering yourself or the horses. During certain portions of the trail they'll allow you to have the horses trot and of course my boyfriend and I jumped at the opportunity, but his daughter didn't feel comfortable trotting the second time around. I knew we picked a great stable when they were more than happy to accommodate all of us, two of them stayed behind to keep a steady pace with his daughter and one trotted down the road with us. And the views! I'm not sure if they have any other trails differing from the one we went on, but I'd do this trail repeatedly! You're in the desert, that's a given, but there's also views of corn fields, pecan orchards, and the best view of El Paso I've ever seen! If I've learned one thing, it's this...always.ALWAYS. ask for the 5 PM ride! Watching the sunset was amazing and the weather was perfect! Obviously this might not be true for winter...no, yah...I'd totally love this same view as the sun is setting during the colder months. From the get-go this little excursion was everything I wanted and more. The family that owns the horses and stables were warm and welcoming. The kind of people that are easy to talk to and just add to the experience. The horses were seasoned pros. And for a hour long ride (really it was a tad longer) for $35 a head, I ain't complainin'. read more

I haven't ridden horses since my early teens, my family owned horses, and I loved it. Now I'm 33, and I've traveled the world, but there's one thing that i will never stop loving; riding horses. I finally satisfied that urge today at El Paso Trail Rides. This experience was awesome, just what I needed. Located right outside El Paso in Anthony, this place is super easy to find. Took about 30 min flat FROM Ft Bliss. Cruise down I-10W, get off at exit 8. Make a left onto Artcraft at the light. Continue on for about 5-10 minutes, bust a right on McNutt. After that it's about 2-3 min and you'll see a sign that says El Paso Trail Rides turn here. It's right on the right. Pull up the short dirt driveway and you'll be greeted by a awesome guy and even awesomer friendly little ranch dogs. They are ready to go on a ride / walk more than you lol. Cute guys. Now I've ridden ALOT before so just like a bike, muscle memory had me right back in the saddle with ease and having a wonderful time. Zero issues. Trotted her a little, galloped her a little, but mostly a brisk walk. Was amazing. Now then, experience is NOT needed. The group that had been before us was just leaving... They had a 7yr old girl that rode without issue. Furthermore, my wife and her friend (they are both from the TINY, tropical, horse free island of Okinawa) had never even been on a horse before... Not a problem. They rode these majestic beasts without issue or cause for concern and had a great time. Such a cool experience to be able to share with them. When we all finally go back to the island, they can always say, like a real cowboy, they rode horses in Texas/New Mexico just like the stories they've heard lol. What a cool memory. But FYI; that memory will repeat itself for me and my wife as we are stationed here and WILL BE BACK, more than once... Bet $$$ on that. Speaking of $$$: it's very affordable (IMO). He charges $35 per person for a 1hr ride. And if you're not a avid rider, 1hr is enough. But for a little more you can get a faster 2hr ride (which is for sure what I'm doing next time, but that's just me). He told me he'd prefer no groups smaller than 3 (and I assume it's because it's a whole "thing" for him to take these horses out and 2 people would be ehhh, but he didn't say NO groups of 2.. Just preferred 3+. So call ahead and ask). He also can accommodate groups up to 10! So take your friends and your friends friends. He mentioned that you can get a military discount (if your military of course), for a group of 5 or more. Sounds like a deal to me. But honestly, I hope he'll back down from the group of 3... Because this is the kinda place I wanna come ride even by myself lol. Seriously, I'd go alone, it's that much fun and the guide is that cool that it'd still be a great time. He comes from a military family and his family comes from the same area as me too (The Bay), so it was cool talking stories with him. Hands down, this was the coolest thing I've done in El Paso, and I'd recommend it 10/10 times. Seriously. I'm not kidding, I'm going back, not once, not twice, but some kinda large number. When all said and done, it's not MUCH more than movies and dinner these days (I don't eat fast food)... Matter of fact, might be less!? And definitely way more fun. I can download a movie (illegally) for free... But I can never truly capture the live experience of riding a beautiful horse on the backdrop of the snow capped Franklin Mountains with 3 cute dogs following along on the trail. Damn dude... I wish I was born in the 1800s. I mean, I'd mob with Billy The Kid, cuz I'm from the hood... But I'd low key just take in the breathtaking scenery and appreciate the horse beneath me. It's something I wish everyone could see. So go... Call now. Book it. Get it. Take your kids, brothers, sisters, wives and husbands! Parents and friends and cousins too... Just go! It's worth it's seriously. Das It Mayne read more

Took my cousins and friend who was visiting from Washington on this trail horse ride. It was awesome! I'm glad my first horse back riding experience turned out great, most of my friend's first time didn't end well. Lol. Josh, who was our guide, was great! He enjoyed taking us around and made friendly conversation which made us a bit more comfortable lol. They taught us simple directions to guide the horses and Josh always told us what to do when we go up hills or down slopes. I loved how we got to go trotting through the orchards! Horses were so well behaved and their friendly dog-pals strolled with us. it's $35 per person, but they offer military discounts if you have 5 people or more. :) read more

This was a very fund adventure! Josh was wonderful! And the horses were amazing. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday evening. I would definitely recommend wearing long pants or jeans due to the dust. But other than that it was amazing! read more

Josh and his Son Isaiah made this whole experience for us! They knew their craft and made us feel comfortable as well as confident. Isaiah is mature beyond his years and has a bright future in the industry. Our horses were well kept, friendly and followed direction very well. A great experience for new riders. The trail through the Pecan trees with the mountains in the background at dusk was amazing! My family and I had a great time and met some great people at El Paso Trail Rides! Thank you Josh and Isaiah, we'll be back!! read more

This was a wonderful experience! I have never been horseback riding before, but this was a great way to have a 1st experience. The staff here is extremely kind and knowledgeable. Their main goal was making sure we had a good time. I traveled with a group of three other friends. My horse was named Jasper and we bonded well. All of the horses are well trained. Our guides took us around their property which included views of nut trees and cotton plants. We even got to see a plane take off from a nearby runway! We couldn't have asked for a better hour. The guides even allowed us to trot and gallop with the horse which was great and unique. If you're in town, this is a great activity to do - especially with a group of friends! read more

It's a really fun horseback riding experience. We are from Los Angels and coming to El Paso for Christmas. We had a one hour ride, it's cool to see the pecan tree farm and great view on the horse. It feels like a cow girl from the West! The dogs are the receptionists here, they gave us a very warm welcome as soon as we got off the car, and they followed along our ride. The horses are very calm and friendly, my dad and my husband were never ride a horse before, and they had a great experience here. read more

This has been, by far, the best ranch I've been to for horseback riding. I looked around El Paso when I moved here, and nobody else really cut it.... but when I found El Paso Trail Rides, I didn't look back. I usually go out on two hour rides through the desert of New Mexico. Every horse I've been on has been great. They are well mannered and responsive. This is a great place for new riders to come. I have rode with brand new riders and by the time they finish a ride, they are all smiles. The staff is professional and takes their time with every rider. Definitely a great way to get out and enjoy a few hours. read more

Amazing experience, I was afraid going in because I've never ride in the horse before but the horses were very gentle and sweet, my kids lived every minute of it, the nature of the horses made me feel at ease and relaxed and I definitely enjoyed our time riding, I'm sure we'll be back if we are ever in El Paso Texas again. read more

We've gone on two trail rides so far. My family loves it! The horses are beautiful and well trained. The family who runs things are always patient and give great directions. My daughter is only 7 and was fine with the horses. If your looking for something fun and memorable to do as a family or with friends then I'd definitely recommend you try the trail rides. Call to schedule a day/time. read more

The phrase of "what an experience" was the the phrase of the day. Been to El Paso before as my wife has family here and only sorry that it wasn't until this time that we did this. I brought my wife and two of my three daughters (we have 1.5 year old) and we had a blast! It was truly an amazing experience, and having it be that my wife and I had only been riding once as kids, it was as easy as pie! Mr. Evans was a delight to hang out with and made sure that we were well taken care of. I thank you for the experience and can't wait to have horses of my own one day (this certified my pre-desire for horses)! Blessings to you, your family and your business! read more

Fantastic ride, great horses, lovely owner. Excellent experience I'd definitely recommend.

We were looking for something very "New Mexico" to do on our Thanksgiving break to Las Cruces. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot to do in Southern NM. We say this on Yelp and thought it might be cool. It far exceed our expectations! It was the highlight of our Thanksgiving break! We had a blast!! The guide was great. read more

We went riding the other day and Josh was awesome. We had two kids aged 6 and 8 who had never been so close to a horse, much less ridden a horse, who enjoyed themselves. Since it was their first time, we adults agreed it would be best for the two to have their horses led during the hour long ride. Two dogs came to greet us on arrival while Josh finished saddling the horses. After that, he took us on a leisurely ride around the pecan farm. The dogs joined us on the trail and had a blast romping in the nearby water and padding through muddy fields. He gave the normal warning about the horses trying to sneak a meal along the way and a special warning to my friend who rode Buddy that he was a glutton. Listening to her interact with Buddy was hilarious. All in all, a great experience for the kids and a nice refresher for us adults. The ONLY downside is rediscovering sore muscles you forgot get sore when you don't go horseback riding that often. Which just means we should go back again soon! read more

Extremely disappointed with this riding experience, especially since it was my sons first time riding. When we arrived we weren't even greeted, not very friendly at all, they actually seems annoyed. They didn't even ask our names nor if we had any riding experience. At other riding establishments riders are required to sign waivers and this place had nothing. We were given quick instructions about how to handle the horses and we were off. My son rode tandem with the guide who was not paying attention to him at all, my sons feet did not fit into the stirrups and I was very uncomfortable with him riding because he was leaning to one side at one point during the ride. When given instructions prior to the trotting, the guide was very rude to my niece "Am I doing this or are you" exact quote!! Extremely rude!! He didn't speak to us at all during our hour long ride. Would not recommend this place to anyone, especially first time riding. read more

My friends and I had a fabulous time on our 1 hour trail ride. I was pretty much a newby and one of my friends had a ton of experience, and they were able to flex with that and accommodate all of us. After some clear instructions we headed out, first walking, and when we felt comfortable we were trotting and then cantering - very exciting for someone new to this! The scenery was delightful: farmland and a fabulous, unobstructed view of the grand mountains on the horizon. So fun. I highly recommend it! read more

I was visiting from central Texas and was looking for something fun to do with my two kids (12yrs & 16yrs). Well, El Paso Trail Rides was not only the perfect activity but we could not have asked for a better experience, it was AWESOME! Josh and his son Isaiah were great; Josh explained how to control the horse to each of us, and then his son, took us on the trail. We loved Isaiah, such the gentlemen and the kids were fascinated with his discussions about horses, the surrounding area, wild life, agriculture, etc. very knowledgeable and made our whole experience that much more fun. Just outside of El Paso in Anthony, El Paso Trail Rides is a hidden gem that we will definitely do again when we are back in town. read more
