Making the reservation was very simple. I called in and made the reservation over the phone. They send you an email reminder and two text reminders leading up to your reservation. Upon arrival and paying the $7 parking fee, drive to the horse staging area. You'll meet the horses and complete payment there. This experience was very fun. They have other types of riding experiences as well on their website. Remember to support your local businesses!

The owner and tour guide Matt was warm, genuine, knowledgeable and personable. He made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. The horses each had their own personality and were gorgeous. He told us details about each one we were riding. He says he tries to pair their personalities w each rider he meets and I think he nailed it! I have never been to SanTan Mountain Regional Park before but definitely want to come back as it was absolutely stunning landscape and great hiking trails. Many friendly hikers said hi to us on our horses. The park has a very friendly vibe. MD Ranch was such a great experience. Thank you Matt and team for raising such wonderful horses and hosting us for such a memorable experience. I hadn't ridden a horse in 20 years and this was my daughter's first ride ever! You guys rock.

I am very excited for this adventure to continue and to see all the exciting things Lindsey and her family have for the future of Rocking LT Ranch.

Leading up to the party, Christy was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all of my questions via email and even giving us a tour of the venue ahead of time. The space was absolutely perfect for our princess unicorn theme. During the party, Rebecca and DJ were so kind, patient, and attentive with all 15 kids, allowing them to ride the ponies multiple times, helping with photos while riding, and bringing out the hare and baby goat for petting--which the kids absolutely loved. All of the animals, including the miniature horses, donkey, sheep, alpaca, chickens, geese, and ducks, were very friendly and tolerant with the children. It was obvious how well cared for and loved the animals are. DJ even went above and beyond by helping my husband lift a heavy cooler full of drinks during setup, which was greatly appreciated. The party setup looked beautiful, and everyone--kids and parents alike--had an amazing time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Charming Pony Parties to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable celebration!

We had my daughter's birthday party here today and we're pretty disappointed. We just did the…read moreunicorn encounter because we were doing a small group with just a few kiddos. The whole reason we did this for her birthday is because my daughter is a strong believer in unicorns and absolutely loves them. Upon arriving the kids immediately noticed the "unicorn" and his horn was lopsided, falling off of his head. My daughter went up to the employee and told her that the horn was falling off. Later she told me that it broke her heart it wasn't a real unicorn. If you have a group coming specifically for a unicorn encounter that unicorn should be ready and looking magical as can be for their arrival. Additionally, the second reason we chose this experience was because the website said you would get to hold bunnies. My daughter loves bunnies and told me all leading up to the party that she couldn't wait to hold a bunny. The employee did NOT let the girls hold bunnies at all, she only let them pet the bunny. It also said they would feed alpacas, sheep, and goats. They didn't have the girls feed any animals at all. In fact no one was guiding through the process at all aside from a lady taking the girls in a circle twice on the pony. Then she disappeared for a long time until she finally came back out and brought out one bunny for them to pet. The AC was not turned on in the castle until we were about to leave and it was 2:30 in the afternoon so almost 100 degrees outside. Overall very disappointed and would not recommend going here. We paid $125 for the kids to basically run around a farm for an hour in 100 degrees. The reviews had been so great saying they make it a magical experience and sadly the magic was exactly what we were missing today.

It's been about 3 years since my Girl Scout troop came to this ranch (see my previous review). Since then my kiddo and I have taken classes at the ranch and we both became volunteers at the ranch. We come to this ranch about as often as we can. The owners make it a point to make everyone feel like family! This IS our family now!!! Aside from the joys of the ranch, my kiddo has advanced riding skills so much that my kiddo has participated in the Black Rodeo, Competitive Horsemanship and Riding and trail rides. Like my kiddo, experienced students at the ranch can participate in parades, shows, and more as volunteers representing the ranch too! If you'd like the same opportunities, you just need to saddle up and start your horsemanship journey, or expand it, at the RR! And, For the person who wrote that they called and no one answered... keep in mind, this ranch runs off of its volunteers. There is a limited paid staff and a small army of volunteers who support RR. This ranch serves as a large animal rescue. This ranch is a place of escape for victims of a variety of situations and this ranch services folks with a variety of physical, emotional and mental needs---- on top of the herd of horses, goats, pigs and dogs that live there. THERE WILL BE MOMENTS WHERE ACTIVITIES ON THE RANCH TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER ANSWERING THE PHONE. Please, be gentle and understanding. Call back, leave a message and give grace. I've added as many pictures as I can. Come out and schedule a tour, sign up for a class or sign up to be a volunteer: you won't regret it! Return Factor: 10000000%

We got our usual list and walked feet out the door to get into our truck, i opened the carton of eggs and one of them was cracked, no big deal. I brought the eggs back inside (immediately) to ask for a different carton. I was greeted with the older woman (with glasses) at the front immediately upset and passive aggressive stating "well i hope you know i checked them and it was not cracked so be more careful"(in a clearly condescending tone), i respond with "im sorry? i just walked out and right back in and it was cracked?" she then says "yeah well no it wasn't so be more careful this time thanks", i then leave. I really hope whoever manages this market to ensure she does not speak to another customer they way she did to me today. We will no longer be visiting, there are plenty of farmers markets.

This market is incredibly well-organized, vibrant, and packed with the best local goods Arizona has to offer. The variety here is outstanding. You can find everything from gorgeous, locally grown seasonal produce and fresh eggs to artisanal bread, local honey, and gourmet coffee. The quality of the products is consistently top-notch, everything just tastes fresher and better than the grocery store. The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, but never overwhelmingly crowded. It truly captures that wonderful community feel. There are always great food vendors serving ready-to-eat treats and local musicians performing, which makes browsing even more enjoyable. It's also a great spot to meet the actual farmers and makers behind the products. Logistics: It's easy to get to, and while it's popular, the flow of the market keeps things moving smoothly. If you live in the East Valley or are just visiting, make sure the Gilbert Farmers Market is on your weekend itinerary. It's a highlight of the community and truly deserves all five stars!

Really disappointing change. This farmers market used to be in downtown Gilbert and had a much…read morebetter atmosphere. The new location at the Chandler Gilbert Community College is basically an asphalt parking lot, which takes away the whole charm of the experience. We arrived, saw the no-dogs sign, and then saw that the market was set up on hot asphalt in the sun, so we turned around and left. That was especially frustrating after making the trip, since the old downtown location was so much more inviting and enjoyable. It is a shame they moved it from downtown Gilbert to a parking lot setting. The old location felt like a community event. This one just didn't.
