She was friendly,…read moreprofessional, incredibly knowledgeable, and communicated everything clearly, making us feel comfortable from start to finish. The ranch is absolutely beautiful, and the horses are well cared for and wonderful to ride. One of our favorite parts was the tour through the little Western town--it was such a unique experience and really brought the area's history to life. You can tell this land is full of rich history and has been cared for with pride. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely got our money's worth. If you're looking for an authentic Arizona adventure with great people, beautiful horses, and fascinating history, I highly recommend visiting. We can't wait to come back!

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.

I wish we had come for their sunset ride because that would've been breathtaking on that trail. The staff is friendly and our guide Jordan was sociable and did an amazing job.

I have also had the pleasure of joining a few committees and working closely with the board of directors. Everyone involved in the program is very kind, welcoming, and thoughtful.

It's always so nice seeing the riders smiling and enjoying their time learning to ride and groom the horses.

This review is long overdue - back in May, my fiance and I went horseback riding with Joseph at…read moreWindwalker Expeditions. We had such a phenomenal time, the experience couldn't have been any better. Joseph knew everything there is to know about the desert, the plants, and the wildlife. He was able to answer any question we had, while also providing additional information. He was very kind, patient, and supportive while we were learning how to horseback ride (we each had gone when we were kids, but hadn't been on a horse in more than a decade). He also helped us take photos and videos, so now it's very special to look back on our experience and see those photos and videos. The horses were absolutely beautiful and it really seems like Joseph takes wonderful care of them. We had the absolute best time and are so grateful for Joseph. Also, special thanks to Shelly for all the hard work she put in to getting us scheduled and letting us know how to prepare. Thank you so much Joseph and Shelly!

They have the most innovative lesson program I've ever seen for beginners with a top trainer. Seasoned rider? Again, the trainer here can provide lessons for any experience level. Need your horse fine tuned or have a challenging horse that needs training? They can handle it. Looking for a horse to buy? I've already spotted a few of their sale horses that I'd love to buy. The stalls are spacious and kept clean. Very large arena with great footing. Large grass pastures for turn out. Friendly atmosphere and barn drama is not an issue. I just got back into horses after 10 years. I bought a Trakehner gelding that was only recently gelded and a cribber. No other barn would have anything to do with him. They didn't blink an eye. They have several stallions on the property and yet, the horses here are all well behaved and and its a very safe environment for horses and riders. I highly recommend this place!
