We did the 90 minute ride and it was just long enough to enjoy the experience without being bow-legged. Im a big guy so they paired me up with Frank (the Tank), a very large and easy-going horse that does like to stop and eat the shrubs. My girlfriend got a more spirited horse since she fancies herself an equestrian aficionado. The guides were informative and the terrain was fairly diverse. I recommend this for just about anyone, regardless of experience on horseback. time can run a few minutes over so be patient.

The ride was awesome, and the prices are fairly cheap! It was a nice ride with beautiful horses that you can tell are taken care of. Our guide was super friendly and informative. The fact that they give you a saddle bag with water and storage to put your phone is also amazing. Will 100% be back on our next trip to Cottonwood. Cant beat the views! Even on a 95° day, it was fun!

We rode the Outlaw trail recently with DJ, and we had a wonderful time. This trail is peaceful and crosses a little creek - perfect for a family ride. DJ is friendly, great with kids, and very knowledgeable about the area. We learned a lot of cool things and made some wonderful memories. We would definitely come back again.

We had such an AMAZING ride! Thank you so much for the great time! My kiddos and are still talking about how much fun we had! Your horses are wonderful! I love that this is family owned by an AWESOME family! Come out and support and enjoy the best scenic horse ride ever with an fantastic guide!~Melanie Jones

I have been horseback riding since I was 9 years old, so I was a little worried about a nose-to-tail trail ride. But the horses were great, well-trained, and take care of. I was able to halt my horse and trot up to the group a couple times as well as walk up alongside my family at some point. It’s a perfect way to see the park!

This family owned business has generations of horse and cattle ranch experience. They easily paired the right horse to each rider. That was especially helpful since none of us in our group have riden in years!! Our guide, Christian, kept us informed of the trail ahead so we werent surprised by the horses reactions. He is very knowledgeable about the area and its history which made the ride even more interesting.The ranch was very easy to get to as its just outside of Cottonwood.We all enjoyed our ride tremendously! Id love to do this again for every season!

Went for a trail ride with my boyfriend and it was great!! We did the one hour trail, it was one of the most beautiful trails I’ve ever been on. I’m so used to the desert trail rides in Phoenix, but this place takes you into a beautiful forest-y area with a small creek you wade through.Horses seem very well taken-care-of. As soon as we dismounted, saddles we’re taken off and the horses returned to relax. They also have the easier horses that kids ride in hackamores, rather than bits, which I appreciate as an experienced rider myself.Would highly recommend!

We had such a blast! Our group of four riders had never been riding in our lives and we felt safe and sound the entire one hour ride (Outlaw Trail). Our horses were wonderful and so well behaved they knew what they were doing and there was never any fear at any point in time. Our two guides, Christian and Gilbert, were phenomenal and did an awesome job at making sure everyone was comfortable and safe the entire time. The Outlaw Trail was a fun and scenic one hour trail ride that had two points where you would get to tread through water the whole trail made for some awesome memories. We will definitely be back in the winter for another ride and to check out the scenery. Thank you again to Trail Horse Adventures! :)

The experience was great from the beginning to the end of it, the booking was super easy, directions on how to get there as well. Once there we were provided with water and a helmet for my 6 year old, the horses were beautiful to say the least, it shows they take great care of them and they were so nice and well behaved. During the ride the leaders where telling us stories about the places we were looking at and giving us tips on how to handle the horses. Overall it was an amazing experience that we will for sure repeat...for sure we will do it again when the heat goes down. Thank you so much for the amazing experience Trailhorse adventures!!

I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! The staff was so fun and very professional. My beautiful horse (Ghost) was wonderful. My first time riding and after 5 minutes I was comfortable and connected with Ghost. Dad (the instructor) was so informative and we learned a lot along the trail. I would recommend this Ranch for sure. We we definitely be back for another go around.

Showed up and everything was ready for us, no waiting around which I really appreciate. Great trail, horses were on autopilot, our guide was Dan, tells a little history along the way. Was provided with a bottle of water for the ride.

Wanted to expertise the horseback riding during my stay in Sedona. Because of Covid 19, the horseback ridings were closed in town. But, Im glad to find this place. Communication was nice and smooth, easy transaction. A short and quick demonstration for riding was really helpful. We rolled out in the state park for an hour, up and down the hill, and even went in the stream of creek thats surface reached about 2/3 of horse legs. The houses were all tamed well and the ride was really outlaw and chilling. Ppl there were awesome. I had a great riding experience!

Had a blast today riding Frank the tank. The staff was accommodating to my fears, but no worries whatsoever. All horses are trained very well and clear I instructions and supervision is given the entire time. Family owned, very kind and knowledgable. Frank even posed for us!

Knowledgeable and attentive guide. We had a lovely time on Kat & Bonita

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT... Couldnt have asked for a more spectacular day. The staff was so kind and accommodating of our hearing impaired granddaughter. Just EPIC!

I surprised my wife with a trail ride at Trail Horse Adventures. The family owned operation is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable people. Our guide was a funny older gentleman who assured us that we were in good hands. The horse were gentle and easy going, just have to make sure they’re not stopping to eat every 20 feet! I would suggest the pre-ride instructions be given a bit more detail and get confirmation that everyone understands what has been said before saddling up. One of the women in our group freaked out and asked to get off the horse before we even got out of the stables. I think this could have been avoided if our guide made sure everyone was comfortable with the instructions and reassured them of the safety of riding the horses. Overall I would recommend booking with these nice people.

Fun for all ages. Varying durations. Slow, nice n easy, ride. Great for birthdays. Staff were super chill, friendly, and informative. Cash tipping the tour guide (15% - 20%) accepted and Im sure very much appreciated. Enjoy the park while youre there, just heads up theres a seven dollar fee, per carload, to enter the park, in order to get to the horses. Theyll have bottle water available. Dont forget sunscreen, closed toe shoes, long sleeve, and perhaps a hat. Younger kids required to wear helmet.

This was a wonderful experience! Truly professional organization with excellent horses and guides. The trail was gorgeous. It was a beautiful, relaxing, engaging way to spend a morning. Thank you, Trail Horse Adventures!

Love this place! We had an amazing day started with going to Trail Horse adventure. I want it to be still cool enough so we took the earliest time to ride horses.Christian was super nice to our small group of 4. Horses were not to tired to take us for 1.5 hour around. We were able to take pictures . While riding a horse we had a pouch that held phone and a bottle of water.People who own that stable were very polite and informative. Chris’s knows about local area . Happy memories.

Our family had a blast on our ride. The scenery and the history we learned from Grandpa made everything top notch.

This place is awesome great horses,wranglers. They take care of you and its a beautiful ride. If you go in the morning you can sometimes see deer and bald eagles. They take you across the river. There horses are very healthy and they love what they are doingIts a must do if you are in the area.

I had such a wonderful time on my ride! Grandpa is an amazing leader! Beautiful horses and scenery!

What a wonderful experience! We had so much fun, and Christian who was our guide was awesome!

This place is amazing and a great place to visit.

POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES. My grand daughter and I have enjoyed several rides at Trail Horse Adventures. I thought I was dealing with honest, reputable people, but when it came time for Trail Horse Adventures to step up and do the right thing, their true colors came out. We had a ride scheduled and paid for a ride 3/13/20, but due to weather the ride was cancelled. I was told I would be refunded the money the following week. At the end of that week - No Refund. When I called to check, I was assured the refund would be in my account by the end of the next week. End of week 2 - No Refund. This time when I called no one answered the phone and no one has returned my call. As of today, 17 days after the cancellation - still No Refund! WOW! Just called again and was told Trail Horse Adventures didnt have the money to give me a refund and was hung up on. I was told I didnt deserve to ride with Trail Horse Adventures.

Was a lot of fun! Make sure to take their recommendations. Riding takes an entirely different set of muscles.

We had the best day ever on our trail ride!Grandma age 65, granddaughter age 7 and son-in-law age 38! Jenny was our amazing guide and she did a fantastic job! None of us had horse experience, but the horses are well trained and they give you a little lesson before you ride. There wasn’t anything scary! I thought an hour might be too long, but it was perfect.I was so hoping that my granddaughter would have a positive horse experience, and it was so much more. We checked out several places in the area, and this is definitely where you want to go!!

We had an amazing ride yesterday! We did the 1.5 hour ridge trail ride at 3:00pm. It was such a nice experience and the trail guide shared many awesome stories with us!It was peaceful and we even crossed a few gentle streams with the horses! We will be back!!!

When we arrived we were met by the owner and other staff who were so nice and willing to answer any of our questions. The horses were selected and saddled and we were on our way. Our North Dakota girl was very pleasant, knowledgable and answered all of our questions. The scenery was amazing and was actually the best scenic ride we have ever been on.Highly recommended!!

Trail Horse Adventures is housed in dead horse State Park by Cornville and about 15 miles outside of Sedona. What they probably didnt tell you you have to pay a $7 Park entrance fee to get to the horseback ride. The owner, employees and guide are very nice people. The trail however was not that interesting. We went at 10 and it was already too hot. By the end of the 1.5 hr ride we were boiling hot. Youre not allowed to try or Gallop in the park and you must go with a guide. We walked the horses through sandy parts of a pretty flat park. We went through a little river went around and went across the river again with the horses. That was kind of the highlight of the ride. The trail is nothing to write home about. The trail was mostly out there in the boiling sun but there were little parts that had shady trees. I was hoping for some Red Rocks or some beautiful mountain scenery. Our tour was supposed to start at 10 we arrived at 9:45 I guess when we pulled up, the lady wrote down the time and started counting an hour and a half from the time the car pulled up. We got on the horse at 10am after we signed all the paperwork and got some riding helmets from her. She gave us a little carrying bag that goes over the horn and has two pockets on each side. She put a bottle of water in there and then I put my money, keys and phone in the other side pocket. They discourage you from keeping anything in your back jeans pocket. They have the horses already saddled up. I looked at that horse and I said I cant get up there from the ground do you have a stool or a loading ramp. We waited til they got a stool to get up onto the horse which helped. The western movies make it look so easy they just jump up on that saddle but I cant and I could barely swing my leg over once I got on this Earth. Which reminds me to stirrups were way too long for my feet and so the girl had to make them a lot shorter. We were somewhat needy so I bet you they were glad to see us go on our way. By 10 we were on the trail, but by 11:10 he was leading us back to the ranch. We were kind of gypped out of 20 minutes and we mentioned it and they said oh no you were here at 9:45 and now its 11:15 but that wasnt the case but it was so hot so I really didnt care. My riding partner was upset because she wanted the full 1 hour and 30 minutes. But since we won the tickets through a timeshare offer I didnt feel like complaining too much but of course it is coming in the review. The owner lady was very very sweet I must say and the guide who was 77 years old was really great too. We tipped them at the end. I gave him five and my friend gave him only three so Im sure he wasnt happy about that since there were only two of us in the party. The owner had two other girls who were helping lift us up onto the horse. My partner got a huge horse that I did not want and I got a middle-sized horse which was a beautiful brown color with a gorgeous black Mane. These horses look well cared for. It really hurts me when I go to a horseback riding place and the animals are half dead.This horse was so beautiful I just loved it. I would never go on this tour again because its so flat and boring but I think it was a good experience and if you do want to take a simple ride do it early in the morning. Dont go in at 10 anytime fro. May to October. Its already too hot. Maybe in the early spring or late fall the temperature will be perfect. I feel sorry for these people that run this table because something was wrong with their main cabin so they had to be outside under a picnic table. I dont know how they can make money because a lot of times there were commissioned through these timeshares and then the timeshare pays a reduced price. Normally its $89 a person. Think of all the upkeep and vet bills and food and clean up of horses. They have to move the horses every day to the park because theyre not allowed to keep them in the park overnight so they got to get horse trailers to move them everyday and every-night. See you on the trail cowpoke.

Celebrated 25th wedding anniversary here and loved it!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Had a great time with Russ this morning. Nice horses and a beautiful morning ride. Saw a huge bald eagle and other hawks. Rode a big English Sire named Bud. He was a big guy that was fun to ride. Nice people and a beautiful place!

A fun, relaxing horse ride with a great guide. One of Sedona best (I’m a local, I should know!). Anyone visiting the area should get a ride here!

Wife and I had a great 90 min. ride with Bill and Dan as our guides. Both were very informative about all the local history on Dead Horse Ranch (now Dead Horse State Park), and the Cottonwood area. Highly recommended ride for beginners and experienced riders.

I would recommend this place to everyone! I do a trail ride on every vacation I go on and this was my best experience yet. We chose the monument trail 2.5 hour ride. Amazing scenery, beautiful and well behaved horses, and the people (family) that run it are so kind and welcoming. We stopped at least 4 times to take pictures, they had saddle bags with water, and the check in process was very efficient.

We had an awesome time... staff was knowledgeable... super friendly.... I.... /We highly recommend.... a definite must if in the area.... going back in a few days to do again..... horses and people again absolutely awesome!!!

We opted for a great riding experience in the Fall & this was the perfect choice! We enjoyed a peaceful morning while riding through wooded, water & desert environments. The horses were wonderful & our guide was accomodating, pleasant & informative. Definitely a highlight of our vacation. Thanks to the folks at the ranch for providing a great time!Sherrie & Brian, Pennsylvania

The horse back ride was great!! I had so much fun! Thank you to the wranglers for being so nice and friendly, I’ll fore sure be back!

We just returned home from an amazing trip to Arizona. This trail riding experience was so much fun to do with my husband and 2 little girls and we can’t wait to go back! Our guides, Christian and his Grandpa, were full of knowledge and pointed out cool stuff along the way. The horses were so lovely, as was christian’s mom who helped us choose a helmet and mount and dismount the horses. I love supporting family owned and operated businesses and this one is one of the best!

Setting up the time for a ride, fitting my complex schedule, went nicely. Bonita was pleasure to ride, putting up with a dude who hadnt ridden in years. Dan was an excellent guide, with information about the area, as well as recollections of a long-time wrangler. The next day I did a second ride, with Jenny, on a more challenging trail, and a second great time!

Great experience. Had family and kids and they were extremely helpful. Guide was very knowledgeable. Great staff!

We had an amazing time! Our youngest is usually very timid but had decided she was going to ride. We didn’t think she would so we asked if they would walk her around before we took off. They were so good with her and we all got to go on the trail ride as a family!! Dan was an amazing guide! It was a wonderful experience, the highlight of our trip.

Fantastic experience! Our first time riding horses and it was so easy and so much fun.

Had a wonderful day today . All I have to say They were very knowledgeable about the horses and the trail ride was outstanding really felt safe.

This is perfect for anyone! Reasonably priced, and very fun. They take your through a stream and through the trails in the woods and in a little mountain. It’s the perfect amount of time too, long enough to have fun but not so long you’re sore or too hot! Would highly recommend!!

Its exactly as I expected it to be so therefore I give them 5 Stars. Our guide was both knowledgeable and friendly. There were no hiccups anywhere on the trail. I just wished I would have chosen the first one of the day instead of the second this time of year it starts getting hot pretty early just like in Phoenix.

Everyone here was super kind to me and the whole experience was wonderful. This was my first time riding and i found it wasnt that hard at all because the horse was very well trained. The scenery was beautiful and the tour guide was funny and did explain the wonder of the ranch. Im definatley gonna come back if I visit cottonwood again.

What a fantastic place to horseback ride for groups! Thanks Laury for handling our reservations for our group of 43 Girl Scouts ages 11-16. We split into 2 groups for 1.5 hr rides for each group. We enjoyed all the horses which were well taken care of. The guides were great too! We rode through trails and back and forth through a creek. We had a few times our horses would trot up and down a hill which the girls loved. We were given saddle bags with a bottle of water in them and put our phones and wallets in the saddle bags too. They provided helmets for everyone too. Thank you so much for the awesome experience!

Very nicely kept. Trails groomed nicely. CLEAN bathrooms!

I had a great time the horses are very well trained and at first I was a little scared but like the first minute or so I was having a great time. All the people there are super nice and helpful I really recommend going to this place!

Called & was able to make a reservation for same day. Guide & Owner were very nice to talk with. Horses were in good shape, well taken care of. Price was very reasonable comparatively. Would highly recommend!!!

We did the early morning trail ride and it was incredible! Our guide Ron was awesome and knowledgeable and we saw lots of wildlife! Very professional and the horses are lovely!

Great place to go horseback riding. Staff is very friendly. We are not experienced riders but our guide did an amazing job showing us the ropes and made it easy for us. Will definitely be back again

Beautiful horses and our tour guide was a real cowboy. He told many neat stories including one about how his horse saved his life one day and now is the only horse he will ride. Shes a beauty too. We all fell in love with our horses on our 2 hr adventure with them.

Great ride, fun cowboys, interesting trail with lots of variety

A bit pricey for riding in general but less so than other places around the Sedona area. The pictures were fun but pricey, too. Not sure I needed 10 photos of my horses backside, let alone my own, but others came out nice. We saw some wonderful wildlife that made the price worth it and I would definitely suggest going when the horses are fresh.

Very well trained and amazing horses. The staff was friendly and enjoyable to be around as well. Great way to spend my money!

I had an amazing time, bill was a great guide! The horses were great and even trotted around which was cool. Water was provided which was a bonus. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic time had by my wife and I. Our guide was great and our horses were amazing. Top notch. ‘Ontario’ had a great time!

Went on a private 2-hour ride and LOVED it! The horses were happy, the guide knew the trails and tales to tell along the way. A great way to spend a few hours in Cottonwood on a nose-to-tail horse! Fair prices as well. Definitely going back again!

Great ride, little easy, but with my lady at my side , loved it .

It was absolutely amazing. Definitely will be coming back. We did this for my husbands birthday and they made us feel so comfortable it was just the greatest experience ever

My wife and I loved the relaxing trail ride through the beautiful and extremely diverse landscape outside Sedona. Our 70-year old tour guide was full of wisdom, humor and stories about the area. The horses and trails were ideal and we didnt have to wait. Highly recommended!

My wife and I the last two open spots with a group for a two and a half hour ride. The rest of the group screwed up the date and cancelled at the last minute. That left the two of us for a private rode with three horses and our guide, Bill. It was a beautiful ride...peaceful and almost therapeutic.Bill was a wonderful wrangler. He regaled us with cowboy stories from his 76 years of rodeo, roping and wrangling. We highly recommend this horseback riding adventure.P.S. My wife and I are beginners. Bill and the horses took good care of us.

Had an AMAZING time here! The trail we were taken on was amazing! Took my mom here for Mothers Day & had a blast! The only thing i didnt like much at all was the lady at the park enterance so was extremely rude & I felt doscriminated against. She didnt help us or guide us where to do to the horses. But other than that it was a great time.

We went horseback riding here first thing in the morning for a little more than an hour and a half, the guide was very polite and the horses are each well mannered with funny personalities!

A fabulous experience for our family. Trail Horse had called our home # and left a message that we would need to reschedule due to flooding, however we never checked our messages at home. When we arrived 2 days later, they had brought horses out solely for our ride....it would be the only ride that day. This type of customer service is hard to find. This outfit went out of its way to provide my kids with an lifelong memory....thank you! :)

Great horses, trail, and guides. Very much enjoyed our experience.

Guide made things lively we were allowed to get souvineirs

We are tourists who have ridden a few times before but are definitely novices. First of all, their administration needs to communicate better. We called the day before to schedule an 8am ride, they told us to get there at 730, which we did. However they did not record their call with us so I had to call them and remind them of our reservation. They showed up at 8:20.The horses and the trail were both very tame. Pretty wooded scenery (not at all like Sedona to warn you) on the Outlaw trail, but the horses just blandly follow each other, walking in the rut from previous rides. Its like a horse ride at the fair, but with prettier scenery.However, we enjoyed Jake, our guide. He was our age and was a good blend of the faux cowboy talk and actual frank conversation about life in the area, which we were more interested in.All and all though, a pretty average, three star ride.

My wife and I were in Cottonwood to celebrate our 21s wedding anniversary and we decided to take advantage of the Trails, Rails, Rythm & Ribs package while were there. The day was spectacular!! Clark was our guide along with our new friends Frankie and Budweiser. Clark was great! Very knowledgeable and made the horse back ride fun and enjoyable. Then we went to the Verde Canyon railroad for a four hour train ride in the Verde Canyon, Then back to the Blazn M for dinner and a show! Going from place to place absolutely flawless. Reservations all made through Trail Horse Adventures. Our day was perfect and we now have memories and stories to tell for the rest of our lives. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

We had the time of our lives at Trail Horse Adventures. Our guide, Shaun, was so friendly and knowledgeable about horses and the history of the park. This was a great adventure and the best part of our Anniversary celebration! I highly recommend Trail Horse Adventures as part of your vacation or staycation!Brad and Celyn Hanson, Phoenix, Arizona

Fantastic folks and great horses. I highly recommend this scenic ride through beautiful and historic Dead Horse Ranch State Park. Wonderful for riders of all skill levels!

Nice set up a lot of trails to adventure on

Enjoyable ride, nice scenery and friendly guide!

This is very nice place to ride.Thanks

Awesome ride, very friendly people and affordable prices. Will be doing it again.

Loved it!

The trail guide did not say anything the whole time and we walked the entire time through a desert and there was no scenery

The guides were excellent - easy riding

Sharing memories with Great grandpa

Nice pace for a wonderful ride.

Such a beautiful place

Awesome experience, friendly people.

Amazing
