Fell off a horse for the first time while the horse was going up a rather steep hill as we turned around to head back to the stable. The steep hill was supposed to be a fun addition to the experience but it was not managed very well for our group. There were about 12-15 people and we had two guides. While going up the steep hill, the lead guide went too far ahead and left a huge gap so the horses at the back (mine) felt left behind and wanted to catch up. Mine started charging as soon as he went up the hill and narrowly missed tree brunches which I had to duck to avoidthese led to me losing

These people went out of their way to get me on the trail after a mix-up that ended with my trip being cancelled. They apologized for the mix-up, and the ride was beautiful. I would definitely recommend.

Sunset ride was an excellent experience. Rode on the shady side of the hills in the Saguaro National Park, where the temperature was very comfortable. The horses were well-trained and had different personalities. Nickie was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.

Roberta was a friendly and honest wrangler that gave us a wonderful 2-hour ride in Saguaro National Park East. Our family loved it and would surely go again. Professional and safe, and humble folks that are able to accommodate beginning riders. Thank you Saguaro Stables!

A great ride overall. The trail was gorgeous and the horses were wonderful. I was slightly concerned with nobody wearing masks while we were making payments and the like, but I suppose we were about to go outside. Would be 5 stars, but $70 for an hour and a half is a bit steep in my experience.
