If you're looking for a western getaway, I can't recommend Tombstone Monument Guest Ranch enough…read more The whole place feels nostalgic -- like you've stepped straight into the Old West. The views are phenomenal and the rooms were super clean and comfortable. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. The western ambiance is spot on, and they even offer horseback riding for beginners and novice riders, which made it easy (and fun) for everyone to try. Breakfast was delicious, the bar is a great spot to wind down, and Saturday night they had an amazing live band that made the whole place come alive. Great people, great vibes, incredible views, and a really fun experience all around. Highly recommend if you want a little western adventure.

I would have loved to have an unforgettable experience with these folks, but unfortunately Veronica…read moredidn't put our reservation in her phone. We arrived, early... only for her to tell us that. She offered to get the horses ready but could only do a 1 hour ride. (We reserved 2.5 hour tour). We were ready just to settle and take what we could get.... but we had a party of 5, and they only had 3 horses. We are from Ohio on a family vacation and had planned the majority of our vacation around this experience. Totally let down and disappointed. They took our credit card information and made us well aware if we were a no-call no-show, the credit card would still be charged the full amount ($690) (otherwise they are cash only). So what happens when they do the same? Our family was truly looking forward to an unforgettable Tombstone horseback ride and was left walking.

I booked a two-hour Train Trestle & Petroglyph ride for my family for which I received a…read moreconfirmation email and then a reminder email the day before giving vague directions on how to get to the horse area where we would be met by our guide. The email stated that we should arrive 15 minutes early and be prepared to pay cash. When we arrived, the road was not marked in any way and we apparently stayed too far to the left and ended up down the wrong path. Fortunately, Red saw us and came on his ATV and helped us get back on the correct road. Red also contacted the person who was supposed to be giving us the tour who apparently had "looked at the wrong date" so there was no one ready to take us on the tour. Red had a hay truck coming and was going to try to take us on the tour himself, but after over an hour of waiting, we decided not to proceed as we had other activities planned for the day and Red was still unloading the hay. To their credit, Red did try to help and was a very nice person. We were contacted by the company to try to reschedule but we were only in the area for a short period and already had activities scheduled for the rest of our time in AZ. It looks as though they have some interesting plans for this business, but it does not seem to be organized yet. When I called the number, the voice message was from December, talking about being closed for the Holidays and opening in January - so obviously not updated. If you are thinking of using this company, I would recommend that you contact them the day before and speak to someone to be sure they will have a guide there to take your group on the ride. I mistakenly assumed since they had sent me an email that they would be ready.

A&A Equestrian is a horse boarding and training facility located on 20+ acres in Santa Ynez, CA…read more For me, it's important that (1) Adrianna and Agapito (the owners, trainers, and riding instructors) live on site; (2) There is a large covered arena and a large outdoor arena which makes for good riding all year round; (3) For the horses' living quarters, there is a variety of outdoor pens and paddocks as well as stalls inside the main barn. There is a common tack room and a bathroom with shower. A&A accepts horses in training at all levels and riders of all levels and ages, too. Don't worry if your horse has flunked out of, or bucked off, a few different trainers. They have a couple of schooling horse available for lessons and there are a few cows on site, too. I have been boarding and training at A&A for the past six months and it has resulted in significant improvement in my seat, my aids, my horse's movement and behavior, and my horsemanship skills. Adrianna and Agapito are bonafide dedicated professionals who aim to develop capable riders and horses, whatever the goals may be. Expect to be positively challenged, engaged, and riding. Between the two of them they have experience in Classical and Competitive Dressage, working cows, Hunter/Jumpers, Eventing, Working Equitation, Californio Bridlehorse, and other Western roping and riding styles. The broad experience encourages an inclusive and supportive environment because the focus is not on a specific discipline. In my group lessons, no one is in exactly the same tack as another rider but we are all working on the same foundation that prepares us to do, with success, anything we want to do with our horses. It's great to not be at a "Name Your Discipline" barn but know that at anytime, if I want, I could get specific. Although they make a genuine effort to accommodate and customize services for all, if you are super high maintenance and make demands that dismiss all professional advisement, you may be better off somewhere else. This is not a pristine facility with a dozen staff to accommodate your whims. With that said, vet, farrier, and other services can be scheduled through the barn. If you can't be there, your horse will be taken care of. Most services can be invoiced to you with your monthly board, too.
