There's several companies that offer horseback riding in the Metro Phoenix area, but I chose one which had a good presence on the internet, good reviews and quick to answer on the phone bacaue I reserved the day before we went on April 2, 2013. I found http://www.arizona-horses.com/ which is actually Pondersa Stables which is based on South Mountain and... More

This was my first time riding and I never felt unsafe or afraid. I had "Puppy", a Belgian draft horse. He was a stubborn one! He wanted to walk slow although the cowboy kept trying to get him to go faster. I didn't mind, though, because it was my first time riding and I didn't want to overdo it. There... More

We had booked our trail ride a month in advance and the morning of our ride we were called and told that we needed to come later, because 2 of the workers didn't show up. So we came later and our 2 hour ride ended up being a very disappointing 45 minute dusty ride. Plus they made us wait another... More

My wife and I signed up for the Dusk Dinner Ride on 3/11. When making the reservation we were told to be there no later than 5. We arrived at around 440 and were greated by a friendly cowboy who introduced himself and took care of collecting our money and filling out brief liability paperwork. There were a bunch of... More

My wife and I went on the dinner ride last Friday evening, everything from the horses, wranglers, dinner, and scenery was way above par. Riding back to the stables after dinner in the dark seeing the city lights was an awesome experience. Can't wait until a return trip to do it all again.

But I had a great ride and my horse was fine. The scenery was great. 10 year old son had never ridden before and he enjoyed it as well.

My Family & I were fortunate enough to find this wonderful Gem of Stables. I have owned horses and I have to say how impressed I was with this operation. All levels of riders are welcome and the horses are well trained & taken care of. We took the Sunset & T-Bone dinner ride & I could not have been... More

My wife joined around fourteen other riders on the T Bone Steak ride, early in the evening. The just over one hour ride, took place at sunset through the desert park, to the T Bone restaurant. I do not ride, so drove to the restaurant to meet with my wife for dinner. She then rode back after our meal in... More

I have owned horses, and have been to lots of rental stables, and this is one of the best. The horses are well taken care of, and great for a beginner rider, or one that is not comfortable out on an open trail. The guide, Jaime, was knowledgeable about the area and the fauna local to Phoenix. He was engaging... More
