This is absolutely the best place if you want your horses to be cared for by true horse men and…read morewomen. Also a great place for children to learn basics up to the Grand Prix. They also have a great kids camp I cannot say enough good things about the people and the facility. Hard to find honest hard-working trainers and horse people these days. I have known the family for 30 years and will start my girls riding there next year when they turn five. I may start them in the summer camp this summer because I think it's so great when they meet friends through Horses. We have horses at home but it's nice to have the barn atmosphere and the friendships that goes with it. This is the place for your horse or your child if you truly want quality and kindness.

I worked with Lori setting up a half-day 'Group Event' and could not have been more pleased with…read morehow it turned out. We had a group of six people and everyone had a fantastic time. I had been looking for something with more immersion than a simple trail ride, and wanted the members of our group to experience a taste of horsemanship, rather than just hopping on a horse and going nose-to-tail for an hour. Lori worked with me to put together a full agenda including everything from a facility tour, safety/horse psychology seminar, gathering horses, to grooming, tacking up, lunch, then bridling and getting some basic riding lessons in the arena before tackling a trail ride together. We had the great privilege of meeting the one and only Rocco and having him give us a phenomenal overview of horse psychology and sharing well informed views on safety around these powerful animals. While their horses are supremely well trained (especially Jimmy!), Rocco made sure everyone understood that part of being a good horseman is having respect for the dangers associated with what you're about to do, and an understanding of how to stay safe. Lori and her wranglers, along with Rocco, joined us on the trail ride. Most barns will have only a couple wranglers for a group of our size, but Lori arranged for us to have one wrangler per guest, which was fantastic and likely helped people's confidence, since only two of us had ever ridden before. The trail ride was outstanding and so much better than your typical "follow this well worn dirt path on level ground" that I've experienced in the past with other trail riding outfits. It was much more free form and spontaneous and that made it a lot more fun. It was a great privilege to personally meet and then ride the trail with both Lori and Rocco. Their enthusiasm and energy were infectious and kept everyone in our group engaged and excited for what we were doing. In fact, every single person we dealt with was super friendly, professional and courteous. It's unfortunately quite rare to find a trail riding barn where the management appreciates that they are in a people business, not a horse business. I was really happy to see that this place was the rare exception. At the end of the day, everyone was thrilled with the experience and had a fantastic, memorable time. This was so much more than a simple trail ride, and I am so grateful that Lori was able to help me put this together. I would highly recommend this barn, whether for a trail ride or something more involved like this half-day event. It was absolutely worth it and a tremendous value that was competitively priced. Please give them a try and see for yourself, you will NOT be disappointed.

Black Canyon City Trailhead - A Hidden Gem Worth the Trek!…read more Loved, loved this hike! It's a moderately difficult trail -- just enough challenge to get your heart pumping, but still enjoyable for a solid in-and-out adventure. The views along the way are absolutely stunning -- desert landscapes, mountain backdrops, and plenty of fresh air. The trail is well-marked and easy to follow, though parts can get sketchy (and watch out for the cactus "pricks" ). Bring plenty of water, good shoes, and be ready for a bit of elevation change. It's peaceful, scenic, and so rewarding -- I'd definitely do this one again! Whether you're local or just passing through, add this hike to your list! Go for as long as you'd like - and turn around when you're at your halfway mark.
