What a fun experience! I booked the daytime horseback riding for both my husband and I. Wyatt led…read morethe experience and he was great. The trail was beautiful and the views were so serene. 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 Horseback Ride was as perfect as the weather today! My daughter and I have been wanting to do…read morethis for so long and we are so glad we chose MD Ranch to do it. 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.

They have 25RV spots with full hook-ups, free Wi-fi, restrooms, showers, laundry room and a large hospitality room. For your horse, they have covered stalls and I believe they can do feeding. I saw round pen, wash racks and a hot walker. They have team roping events with cattle. They are surrounded by miles of farm and they are between Coolidge and Florence and getting closer and closer to south Phoenix Metro area. This is a flat ground area but still have nice views of mountains nearby. The grounds are well kept and have gravel. I came here primarily because I just needed a place to park my RV for the night as I had a conference in Florence. Everywhere was full up and just not a lot of options at the last minute. They worked me in and made sure I was set up for the night. They have very reasonable rates. Dogs are welcome on leash. They are not primarily a RV resort, they are a horse roping area. I would not recommend if you get upset by horse people or environment. I was also in the middle of the rain, and some areas were muddy, which will be dusty in the summer. They look like they have some long-term residents, but the focus is on Equestrian events. A great place to come to practice or learn roping or sorting, and the website provides information on rates for the activities. My family mainly does carriage driving and trail riding, so I may not need the equine facilities in the future, but the roping area was as good or better than others I have visited. Thank you to Lonestar for making my stay an enjoyable experience, even though it was short.

The amenities offered at Crossroads Farm, at first glance, appear and sound incredible. However,…read moreafter several months of boarding there, I began to have a feeling that my horse was not being tended to per the contract. To verify that my horse was not being given his supplements and also not being turned out regularly, which I paid for, I devised a way to keep track of my horse's care and found out my hunch was correct. Even after voicing my concerns to the barn owner twice, nothing changed. I believe socioeconomics played a big role in the lack of care for my horse. As a school teacher, I was not one of the clients at Crossroads Farm whose horse was in training nor was I able to afford regular lessons. Neither of these variables should have diminished the care that my horse was guaranteed in my contract and the services I was paying to receive. I was a client at another hunter jumper barn for many years and never experienced this type of "you are less than" regardless of a training program, going to shows, or how many lessons I took. That barn made always made my horse and myself feel no less important than their other more wealthy clients. The same certainly cannot be said for Crossroad Farms.

THEY HAVE MOUNTING BLOCKS!…read more We were referred here after a bad experience at OK Corral Stables. Everyone we met at Don Donnelly were friendly and accommodating as I needed a mounting block and a little support to get on the horse. Shelly was very sweet and the place felt relaxed and fun (instead of the unfriendly people at the other place). My grandson and I were supposed to have to wait an hour for our ride but when we got there she'd arranged for a wrangler to take us right away. Our wrangler, Lexi, was so friendly and nice and very accommodating. We had one of the most beautiful rides we've ever been on with nice, well trained horses. When we got back, Lexi said that it's often harder for us grandmas with hip problems to get off the horse than on and assured me that I'd have help. I got off the horse with help and even had a man pleasantly and kindly help me down the steps. As bad as our experience at the other place was, this place was 1000 times better, not just because they had mounting blocks to help get on the horse, but because they understood that this is supposed to be a pleasant experience. Thanks, Lexi and Shelly! We'll see you again :)

I am a new horse owner, I recently purchased my first horse, not being very confident myself on handling him, I hired Emma to assist me with guidance in my horse journey. She has been outstanding, working with my horse in the arena, round pen, ground work, taking him out for walks on the public streets, she is getting him ready for the trail rides, also recommending the best tack and saddle for him..etc. Emma also does body work for him, this has improved with muscle gain and muscle tightness. I am truly grateful to have found Emma, to say I was a bit nervous about the big responsibility of horse ownership, is an understatement, she has helped me gain confidence in working with my horse.
