Cons: pretty dang sore now because I rode correctly for the first time. I can hardly wait until my next ride.

Upon our arrival on the day of the ride, he inquired about my nephew's and niece's weights. My nephew stated he weighed 310 pounds and my niece said she weighed 235 pounds. The cutoff is 240 pounds, so he insisted on charging an additional person's fee. It should have been $120.00 plus, but I was charged $165.00. He then told my nephew, "You're paying," to which I replied, "No, I am paying for him." Carlos then remarked, "I wouldn't pay for him; I don't even let my son ride for free. Why would you pay for him?" This was very rude and made my nephew feel terrible about his weight. I would never return or recommend this place to anyone.

Give Lorenzo a raise!…read more My wife and I were vacationing with friends in Santa Fe who have family in NM and had been on these rides a few times before. My wife is a former show rider, so we all made the drive down for an evening ride. I was put on Hollywood, who is a good boy, despite his headstrong nature. With us were a family visiting from London: Mum, Dad, and two sons aged 10 and 7. Our guide was leading us, and Lorenzo the wrangler was bringing up the rear. The ride itself was beautiful, and relatively calm, if a little boring- there wasn't much commentary, and we didn't get to go up and see any petroglyphs, which I was told would happen, although I wasn't the one who booked it or looked into things beforehand. Part of this may have been due to the fact that the older child's horse, Johnny Cash, was going very slowly, so only myself and my friend were up with the guide while the rest of the party was a ways behind with Lorenzo. We were about 2/3 of the way through and on the loop back when Johnny Cash started actively ailing, and twice tried to lie down with the older kid still riding. The kid was fine, as everyone was paying good attention, and he jumped off like they told him to with no problem. The first time he got back up on the horse, but the second time we stopped and decided that Johnny Cash was in no shape to continue. Our guide was understandably distressed, and was trying to coordinate pickup from the ranch while keeping the rest of us steady and safe. The stopping and Johnny Cash's distress also started getting to our horses; Hollywood was especially ornery, and our guide wisely instructed me to dismount, and my wife later had to get off hers as well due to its attitude. Eventually reinforcements arrived and were able to cart us back to the ranch, and they didn't charge us, although we all made donations. Cash's distress was the most upsetting part, which wasn't anybody's fault, but he did start trying to drop and roll, which could have quickly caused fatal intestinal torque. It was at this point that Lorenzo leapt into action with a calm professionalism that a U.S. Marine under fire could only dream of. He rigorously kept Cash walking for most of the time to clear his intestinal blockage, and when the horse tried to roll, Lorenzo kept him in check. Lorenzo's own horse, Malibu, cantered off a short distance during the ruckus, but he kept his calm and eventually retrieved her when he was done. All the while night was falling, coyotes started howling in the distance, and he fielded constant questions and comments from the kids with an easygoing charm that never dropped. At one point he was calmly leading two or three of the ornery horses. I hope Johnny Cash is okay, but at least I know that he walked back to the stable on his own four hooves, and we have Lorenzo to thank for that.

Most of the river is knee to waist deep but there are currents. There is a place to launch your kayak if you want also. And right down the road you can rent horses and go horseback riding. It's great. Weekdays are less people but even the weekend isn't bad. I love to cleanse my crystals and meditate and get nice and grounded. You'll want to thank me if you go! Go!!! It's free too.

I'm really disappointed in this company. After reading the reviews on here (the most useful ones,…read moreironically, being filtered), I was keeping my fingers crossed that Romero's Thunder would honor the LivingSocial package I purchased. I emailed them to schedule a ride time in early May and they were completely booked up for 2 WHOLE MONTHS with no weekend rides. I asked at least 3 or 4 times if they could let me know if there were any cancellations but never heard anything (in fact, when i asked about weekend ride times they never even responded to my question). We finally scheduled a time for over two months out during the week. I confirmed the appointment a few days before (because after I sent them my LivingSocial voucher number I never heard anything back). We planned our day around it, took off work, etc. Low and behold, they cancelled a few hours before the ride when we were getting ready to walk out the door saying that there was a death in the family. I understand that situations happen but based on the other reviews it seems there's a lot of last minute emergencies, illnesses, and deaths. I wasn't impressed with their email etiquette (NO IT'S NOT OK TO SEND AN EMAIL TO A CUSTOMER IN ALL CAPS) or responsiveness- it took 2-3 days to ever get a response. All in all, even if the ride had happened and been great, I still would not be impressed with their customer service. I was really looking forward to this and hoping for the best but when scheduling is a 2 month (minimum) ordeal then they cancel, that is not good business. I'm normally willing to give small businesses the benefit of the doubt but based on the experience leading up to this and the prior reviews that indicate this is a common occurrence, I"m more than a bit skeptical. I responded to their cancellation email nearly a week ago and inquired when the ride could be rescheduled and have yet to hear back. *crickets* If they wow me in the follow up that they promised, then I'm completely willing to edit my review but I'm not holding my breath. _______________________ Update: 15 DAYS and I finally got a reply to my email. Bad business and not one that I am willing to support. Not even an apology for the delay or for the cancellation. Talk about making your customers feeling like you don't give a crap about them.

They don't have anyone available to answer the phone and "require a minimum of 3 days to respond". Its a terrible business practice, if a company is so busy they can't answer the phone, ever, and take 48 hours to respond to email, then they can afford to hire someone. I finally heard back from the company by email after my 3rd attempt, but availability was so limited, I was unable to use my voucher, only a few weekdays available for over 3 months.
