Had a truly enchanting time here while driving through Cerillos on a sightseeing adventure with an…read moreout-of-town friend and car full of children. My city-mouse friend mentioned that she had always dreamed of petting a horse, so when we drove past an eclectic looking stable with gorgeous horses (seriously looks like something out of a movie), I figured it was worth a shot to see if we could meet the animals. I told my friend, "What's the worst they could say? No?" I parked my car and walked up to what looked like the main building, and I was greeted by a sleepy grey cat and outrageously cute little dog. A man that I presume is the owner followed behind the dog and asked me if I needed help. After pitching my request to him, offering money to let my friend just spend some time visiting the horses, he kindly told me that we were welcome to respectfully walk around for free. He told us we could meet any horse that came up to us, but reminded us to not feed the horses. By the looks of the horses, the man I spoke to clearly cares for these animals deeply, and I was really taken by the cleanliness and health of the horses. In the end, my friend was able to meet a horse for the first time, and my kids loved seeing the beautiful animals. They especially loved the sweet grey cat and inquisitive one-eyed horse. We will definitely be back to schedule a ride here, as I was so impressed by the animals and thankful for the kindness we were shown. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Broken Saddle!

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.

We also had a lot of fun feeding the horses and goats and donkeys once we were back-i've never seen the kids laugh as hard as when the goats stood on their backs!

This is definitely one of those reviews that I hesitate to write. This little gem of a horseback…read moreriding business has been in Albuquerque's backyard since 1989, and until last week, I had no idea it existed. During the Great Bathroom Tissue Famine, we'd pulled our hair out trying to find something, anything, for our kiddo to DO on the weekend, what with the masking and the distancing and the rest. Following just one visit, I'm very confident we've found our southwestern huckleberry. First, ya gotta sit down with the owner of this place, Margo(t?). She's a card. Running this ranch out of a comfortable double-wide on the high plains of Corrales, she's been there, done that and watched the area morph, over the years, from rags to riches. All the while, she's taken in rich and poor kids -- girls, mainly -- and turned them into equine stewards. As opposed to other ranches around the 505 (we've explored), High C Acres begins by teaching kids to groom, saddle and care for the horses. Our daughter's first lesson ran more than two and a half hours, and I won't quote the incredible price. Margo says she generally has between 30-40 students, of all ages and walks of life, at any given time. These people arrange regular, hour-long visits, to ride and care for the beautiful beasts. She's quick to explain the actual costs of horse ownership, particularly following a mild winter when feed costs are bound to escalate. My kid enjoyed a distanced, masked introduction to this way of life, alongside one of her good friends. It's likely the best money we've spent on Famine entertainment since we all began hoarding. Don't be surprised if there's simply no room at the stable when you call.

The owner was who we delt with (Joaquin) and he was an awful a**hole. The first instance was when I first reached out to him initially. His text messages were short, kind of rude and felt high pressure to give him the deposit. I just chalked it up to "it's a business" he's busy.. whatever.. We decided to still book the ride after talking with my husband about how it felt like something was off. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and a $250 deposit, remaining balance due at the end of the ride He gave us directions that we couldn't folow, because, he gave them to us coming from the wrong direction...we were from out if town, so we hadn't descovered that it was all backwards yet. He was rude again as we were texting with him...Trying to find him. So, I called him to try to clarify the directions. He was again rude and raised his voice with us. Telling us to "FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS" and stop thinking so hard. I was trying to tell him it seemed like the directions were coming from the wrong way, so the landmarks weren't falling in the right order. We weren't locating him. When we arrived, he was hostile from the jump. I can understand being irritated that he had to wait, but, he took zero responsibility for the fact that he gave us the wrong directions. ( Which was the actual issue..We would have been there 30 minutes early, had he not done that.) At this point, we had been driving around trying to find him for over an hour and we were also frustrated ...and way into our riding time. He made really rude comments and the energy was so bad and awkward we didn't even feel comfortable taking the ride any longer. Why would we want to continue to spend the afternoon with this jerk..let alone there is the fact we are trusting somebody to take us out in the desert, on horseback. We needed to feel like we were in good hands. The energy between us was so awful, awkward and uncomfortable..We chose to not even take the ride. When I told him I didn't even feel comfortable going out on the ride with him any longer, he became extremely hostile. He started yelling and fighting with us. Telling us we were racist because we were white, and he wasn't. The problem was never the color of his skin...It was always his attitude and the energy he was running. Subsequently while trying to locate him by googling more information about him and where to find him, we also found out he overcharged us for the ride. It's listed on the website for much less a person then what we were being charged. He kept the $250 deposit we had already given him. Trust me and look elsewhere. This guy is not worth your time.
