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.

This is the most unprofessional business I've been to in a long time…read more First off there are no signs to point you in the right direction and GPS takes you to a home, so you have no clue if you even are at a place of business. 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

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.

Sadly, communication was completely inconsistent. It took their office weeks to get back to emails so when I tried to cancel within the two week policy or at least figure out scheduling before the start of the new month they would let emails go unchecked because they were out of office. Incredibly sad experience.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience here was incredibly disappointing…read more I've been to multiple riding academies and have never been treated this poorly. In one instance, I arrived 10 minutes early for my lesson, as always. The instructor was running behind, which I understood, so I waited. However, by the time my lesson finally started, 20 minutes of my scheduled time had already passed. Instead of making up for the lost time, the instructor ended my session as originally scheduled--meaning I only got 10 minutes and didn't even get to ride. What did I do in those ten minutes? Get the horse saddled and ready for the next client. When I brought this up, I was assured it wouldn't happen again... yet I was still charged in full. Then, after experiencing a sudden medical emergency, I reached out to request a refund for the current month (which had just been charged since I was able to ride anymore). Their response? A dismissive email telling me to "plan better next time," as if I could schedule a medical emergency in advance. They ignored my follow-up and still haven't refunded me. The management is unprofessional, the customer service is nonexistent, and the way they treat clients is unacceptable. Don't even get me started how the older man spoke to me. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

They are usually very pricey for not good service. What I like about this place: The stalls are really nice. Everyone has their own locker. I have my horse in a barn with a covered walk out.

All night turn out is offered for those horses who do not have a walk out which is really great. The atmosphere is laid back and they are really accommodating. Overall a great place.
