- SSelinaabout provider31 Mar, 2024First off, the horses are doing well and they're looked after with lots of love and care.♥️ I spent a fantastic day with Lizzie, who owns the place, and I think everyone should try out the day tour. The scenery was stunning, and Lizzie's passion for horses and nature in Santa Fé was infectious. Big thanks to Lizzie and lil Dude for such an amazing experience.
- CCaleighabout provider28 Dec, 2023Elisabeth put together an awesome tour ! I totally suggest giving it a go. The scenery was stunning. Plus, we got to check out a coffee tour and have a farm-fresh lunch. Overall, it was a perfect 10 out of 10 experience.
- KKarlinabout provider27 Mar, 2023We absolutely adored everything! The horses are well-loved and well-cared for. The partnership with the local farmers was educational, and the scenery was unlike anything we would have encountered on our own!! Thank you!!
