Great guide and nice expedition. They were a little backed up due to road construction and the group ahead of us getting there late but they bumped us back to the next available time slot and it all worked out. We've been on horseback tours before as a family and this was definitely the most laid back. The guide got a nice group photo at the end and was able to give us some history of the area along the ride. read more

This was the best thing about Angel Fire. Skiing was fun and my kids loved this trip. But after having done this horseback riding with my 6 and 4 year old, we definitely all agree Dillon and Olivia made our trip so much better than it already was. They even played Ispy with my kids while they rode horses through the snowy beautiful mountain. read more

You don't meet people like her often but it sure does make my day when we do!!!!! Bullet and Princess were also important all stars. read more

Such a wonderful guided horseback tour! The staff was so knowledgeable and very helpful to those in our group who were new to riding. Mike our guide was so funny and gave us really cool historical and nature facts along the way. Everyone was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. The horses are well taken care of and obviously loved. It was such a great experience and I couldn't recommend this company enough. We will definitely be coming back! read more

My sister and I did a tour back in October. Our guide was really nice and had some fun facts about the local area. It was nicely paced and he matched the level of ride difficulty with our skillsets (which are none lol). I guess I gave my horse mixed signals and he started wandering away but the guide saved me definitely recommend booking a tour! read more

The whole experience was a scam. We rode around in a carriage for 15-20 minutes then we went to a Christmas steak dinner that was a burnt ribeye and microwaved veggies on a paper plate. Not close to the amount of money spent. We were in a double wide kitchen dining room. Was disappointing evening on Christmas Day to say the least. The bathroom was just someone's house and the bread was from Amazon, saw it in the boxes. read more

Nancy, Billy, and the rest of the crew here were fantastic, I highly recommend a horseback tour with them. The horses were well behaved and the scenery on our tour was breathtaking. We were vacationing from Maine, and this was a perfect Western experience for my wife and I. Thanks, Nancy! We will be back. read more

I got to Ride on potato , one of the sweetest horses. The tour was amazing, loved the trail we were on and not to mention the amazing staff! I can't wait to go back and do it again! read more

Relaxing 2 hour trail ride. Well behaved pack horses and good tack. Our guide, Holly, was very experienced, friendly, and enthusiastic.

Super fun trail ride. The owner is great to work with and the cowboy guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our 90 min ride. read more

We took a sleigh ride during our stay in Angel Fire. We booked a 11:00 AM ride and we were asked to arrive 30 minutes early. We ended up arriving 45 minutes early and waited and waited. 5 minutes until 11 I called the tour office and asked why the sleighs were there but no horses or staff. After a while I got a text saying they were on their way back from a ride and would be there shortly. At 11:35 I see Nancy who has finally arrived but there are still no horses. It's 20 degrees outside and I'm trying to entertain my 2 yr old while waiting now for over an hour. Nancy receives a phone call that staff is trying to get to us but their car battery is dead. After another 15-20 minutes the horses arrive. We finally get loaded up and leave on the sleighs. The description states a 40 minute sleigh ride. I clocked a 25 minute sleigh ride up a little hill stop for pictures and then back down the same little hill. After waiting over a hour we were treated to a pretty short ride. Nancy did offer us a half price horse ride the next day but we were unable to take her up on her offer. Nancy was kind and I believe she genuinely felt bad for the extensive delay but for a business that has been around a while, this process should run more smooth. read more

The best horses, ranch hands and trails! I will not ride anywhere but here with Nancy Burch's horses! Booking a second ride this week and looking forward to riding again upon my return next summer! read more

Bill was the best!!! Thank y'all so much for a great time. Amazing views and amazing horses!

We drove by and saw the sign for FRESH EGGS and we stopped by to buy some eggs. Long story short...we also booked a horseback ride! We had such a good time with our tour with Miss Nancy! We originally booked an afternoon tour but due to the afternoon thunderstorms it was cancelled and she happily rescheduled for a morning tour. Nancy was highly knowledgeable of the area and pointed out lots of points of interest to us while we rode along and enjoyed the beautiful scenery! We loved how the ride was on dirt rather than rocks. We did a horse ride in Red River last year (July 2021) and it was all on rocks (at least the tour we did). Our horses were Sundance, Badger and Rodeo Queen. read more

Nothing beats the in person experience with the horses like the red carpet Roadrunner Tours rolled out for us. We were lucky enough to schedule a tour with one of the top guides in the bizz, Margaret. Margaret made sure that everyone on our tour felt comfortable on their horse. She makes sure that your stirrups are even and walks you through exactly how to use the reins to navigate your horse. They do give you saddle bags if you need to carry sunscreen (highly recommended during summer trips!) and of course any snacks/water you might need. Pro tip : apply your sunscreen pre ride and I DO NOT RECOMMEND RIDING WITHOUT JEANS. It gets hot and very bumpy (ouch!!) Margaret led us on the most beautiful tour EVER. She's super friendly and knowledgeable about the horses and the history of New Mexico. The horses are all very well trained and I'm excited to bring my niece and nephew to experience a wonderful ride with Margaret!! Thank you so very much for making our experience super stellar! read more

My wife and I had a great ride with our tour guide Renee while visiting Angel Fire. The horses were well tended to and after my wife's first horse was a little skittish for her they immediately got her a different, more mellow horse. My horse was wonderful and minded well during the entire two-hour ride. We had a lot of fun and will do it again the next time we're in Angel Fire. read more

I've never ridden a horse, and always been a bit afraid. Today, I rode a horse with Nancy at Roadrunner horse adventures. The entire experience and beauty of the snowbound woods was amazing! I highly recommend this tour, and she was great with the kiddos on our tour as well:) Do yourself a favor and check it out when in the Taos area:) Don't forget to drive the enchanted circle also! Enjoy! read more

Three of my party just experienced another fantastic trail ride with Nancy's really fun guide Cody. Her horses are fresh, not nose to tail, the Carson National forest where we rode is pristine, and lots of wildlife, and from a distance we even saw a bear. This is at least my sixth ride with Nancy and you will not find a better run trail ride program. read more

I highly recommend Road Runner Tours by the one and only Miss Nancy Burch! She was very professional and treats everyone like they are family. This was my kids first time to go on a trail ride and they absolutely loved it. Our guide, Tommy G, was exceptional. We did the 1.5 hour trip. That was perfect for my 9 and 7 year old kids. As a former farm raised country kid, but now city slicker, that was just the right length of time for me too. Saddle up with the family and make some memories! You will not regret it! read more

These tours are a whole lot of fun if you're a more experienced rider. I love horseback rides and always try to go when I can, and I 100% was not disappointed by Nancy and her crew. Nancy and team are about as country as they come, and they all take pride in their horses. There's a wide variety of them, too, so you don't have to worry about riding a horse that is too advanced for you if you're a beginner. Nancy knows exactly which horse you need. I rode a bay horse named Sandy, and she was very easy to ride with, very obedient to commands like turning, trotting, etc. I know my picture isn't with a bay horse, but my mom insisted I take a picture on a horse so a draft horse makes a more interesting picture (I didn't take any pictures on the trip because I was too busy having fun!). What I enjoyed most about my trip was that even though I was only a single rider, Nancy got her old country friends to join us so I wouldn't be alone. On top of that, the riding wasn't very strict! You don't have to ride in a straight line, stay on the path, or worry about keeping your horse at a walk. If you want to trot along, you trot! That was what I loved most, because it really feels like you're free on the horse. My only complaints are they ask for a tip up-front before you even see your horse and during my ride there wasn't much conversation between me and the other riders. They already knew each other and I felt a little left out. read more

To all that rode with my Son and myself we would like to thank you all. It was our pleasure to have you with us on the trail or in the arena. Unfortunately we are not affiliated with RR tours any more. We invite you all to look for is in the future as we will be opening our own outfitting service giving a true western experience with real cowboys and guides that really know what they're doing. Northern New Mexico has so many beautiful places to ride and we will be offering these places to the public. Again, thanks to all and see you down the trail! Ivan read more

Nancy is a fantastic teacher. The 4 of us girls and 1 toddler went out for the newcomer tour. A couple of us had never been on a horse before. By the end of the tour we were all feeling comfortable and confident. Our favorite horse was Dusty! The ranch was beautiful and the horses were all in great health and so friendly. We had such a great time that we plan to go back in December for the sleigh ride and a wilderness horse ride. We used Apple Maps to GPS our way. It said we were there a few miles before we actually were. Google maps is a better choice for GPS. read more

My team roping, horse whispering husband even enjoyed this trail ride. Our awesome guide Leland showed us the amazing Mountain View's and we highly recommend! Just beautiful and still a thrilling ride. Book your tour! read more

It was so important to note that while things weren't "fast moving" - the hard work was evident around every corner. Nancy and Bill are some of the hardest workers I've ever met. It was our first time here and it took us by surprise to find two seniors still hauling saddles, hay bales and managing such a large ranch. Nancy has an infectious sense of humor and was an incredible guide. We learned a lot from her in just a few hours and then Will return. Pack your patience and your sense of humor and get ready for a great time. read more

Booked a tour for 6 people on 3.16.22 at 4pm on their website. The tour company called stating they were unable to keep our 4 pm tour bc they needed to feed the horses. They did offer different times but told me if I could read on their website there are no cancellations or refunds. So I get a customer cannot cancel but if the tour company is calling me to tell me they can't do a tour that I booked on their own website...I still can't get a refund? Disputing the charge with my credit card read more

We had an open day in our itinerary and made a very last minute reservation. The experience blew us away! We took the Newcomer's tour with 2 intermediate parents and 2 beginner kiddos (5 and 17). The staff were amazing, accommodating, informative, and fun! They were incredibly patient with my kiddos, they made the excursion a blast, and they took really good care of everyone on the ride. I am SO GLAD we made this last minute reservation. We were in angel fire for 8 days and this was the most fun my 5 yr old had the entire trip. Thank you team! read more

Horrible company and business woman. We went on a tour as a family and our horses were constantly getting spooked. Felt very unsafe myself and extremely scared for my children. There are other horse tours not far and would give those others a try in red River or Taos. On our tour their dog spooked a horse and a participant fell to the ground. He was alright but def looked like it hurt. Hope he doesn't have some permanent damage. Take your money else where, keep yourself and children safe read more

We had so much fun riding horses with Ms Nancy! We'll definitely be back next summer!

Our horseback ride was a highlight of our time in Angel Fire. We booked a 2-hour trip through the Carson National Forest. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and constantly checked to make sure that everyone was doing OK on the ride. He took several photos, and even a video, on our cell phones for us to keep. The horses were friendly and easy to ride, even for those with limited riding experience (even if some of the horses did like to sneak in snacks of trailside grass). And, the Carson National Forest itself is magnificent. It wasn't inexpensive, but my family came away with a great memory and feeling like it was worth it. read more

This was the best experience ever! I loved every horse! The cowboys Bill and Nolen were exceptional and so much fun! We cannot wait to go back again and again. We met Nancy and her lovely dogs. We felt safe and the cowboys took amazing pictures of my husband and me! I rose Pepper and he rode Roni... the trail through the Forrest was incredible! If you find yourself in Angel Fire THIS IS A MUST!!! What fun we had!! read more
