| - Our son wanted to ride horses for his 10th birthday. He had only ridden a horse years ago so no riding experience to speak of but he really wanted to ride. We found a groupon for a 60 min group riding lesson at Twisted Tree Farm in North Scottsdale. Scheduling it was not very difficult, a nice courtesy reminder voicemail left prior to scheduled lesson with what to wear and all. We arrived as requested, 30 min early to sign paperwork. My son was kindly greeted by his facilitator Amber, who was AMAZING!!! She was patient, educational, and very adaptable to what my son wanted to know, do, ask....she even made us adults informed of horse questions we had. She provided, showed, and had my son learn how to groom/prep the horse before riding, was amazing at making him relax and calm his nerves when he got on the horse, reminding him it's normal to have a little nerve, but have him repeat skills that made him quite comfortable he was able to smile and giggle when near the end she led him and the horse into a little trot! The ride finished with again cleaning up and grooming the horse. My son couldn't stop talking about the fun he had the entire drive home.
Again, I bought a 60 min group lesson, so not sure no one else signed up to make a group lesson, but Amber spent more like 90 min with my son. Very pleased with the cleanliness and beautiful ranch.....nice staff, all was very great! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to try riding or regularly rides horses!!!
