What riders say about Cave Creek stables
I had the most AMAZING time here! My first time in Arizona I HAD to go horseback riding. I am SO amazed by how well the property was maintained, how well kept the livestock were all animals seemed well fed and taken care of!
MTM Ranch Horseback Adventures
This was the best horse riding experience i’ve ever had! The trails had gorgeous views and we got some great photos! I rode the horse named Champion, and he definitely lived up to his name in ever aspect of the ride. I would like to give a special shout-out to Patty, Ally and Alyssa, y’all made us feel at home.
My son and I had the best time riding in Cave Creek with Russ and company. Russ is so kind, inviting and he absolutely loves his animals and provides such an amazing establishment. We conversed the entire time which made the scenery even more beautiful.
