We never actually got to book a trail ride, the low rating is purely for the communication my…read morefiancé and I experienced trying to set up the booking. My fiancé reached out on Tuesday via text to both Mike and Shannon to set up a ride for the upcoming Saturday (my birthday). Didn't hear back so he called Mike on Wednesday. I texted Mike and Shannon myself on Thursday knowing it was a shot in the dark. We figured they were busy and surely someone would get back to us before the weekend, but we were wrong. I really wanted to go for a ride and had Monday off too, so I followed up on Saturday morning and finally got a response. After some back-and-forth over the weekend we finally got a ride set up for Monday, only for the ride to be canceled the night before due to some emergency on their end. While Mike was very nice on the texts exchanged (thus the 2 stars instead of 1), the amount of communication attempts necessary to get a response was really frustrating. If customers feel like they have to hound you to get your business, they're certainly not going to try again a second time much less recommend you to anyone else.

They warned me he may get lazy and stop, and that I would have to kick him but he did great. He was a very calm horse who was very gentle. Funny part is that he wears a mask so he doesn't eat the whole trail ride.... sounds like me, I guess we have a lot in common. Snacks snacks snacks.

If you want to ride horses you can ride them in Texas for a lot cheaper and a lot longer. Plus they have horses that are built and capable to withstand your heavier set adult male. Came with five people and my husband who has been loosing weight. 260 fully clothed with Steele toe boots, jeans and enough in the wallet to weigh anyone down. The one staff member who I spoke with was cordial and descent but I will not bring my business back there ever and will deter anyone from going. Tourist trap. Let me add... it is Arizona and they would not let me wear my hiking backpack for water!!!! Absolutely not. I drink water all day and you want me to venture for an 1 1/2. With no water .... No thank you

You don't need any experience whatsoever, just show up and enjoy the ride. Great convo with the guides, they're a hoot. I've gifted this as two birthday outings and one ride just because it was a nice day to take a wander through the desert. The river crossing is super cool when the water is high (look beforehand to see if the dam is open - it's seasonal). Go first thing in the morning, trust me (you're welcome).

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.

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!
