Went horseback riding with a group of 4. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We got lost on our way to the stables; the staff delayed our reservations and allowed us to still ride the full time period.
Our tour guide was amazing; very friendly and knowledgable about the area and the horses. We being first time horse riders had many questions and he talked to us without belittling us. Our tour was amazing we saw hieroglyphics, the Verde river, wild cattle and horses and some good ol cow chips. He took us on top of a hill that over looked Fountain Hills and surrounding areas. Great to see the desert at its best.
The horses were very well mannered and friendly. My horse Clifford was, as described, goofy but very intelligent.
I would highly recommend visiting Fort McDowell Adventures for a great time with friends and family. I look forward to going back when I visit Arizona again!
