   Our 3yr old daughter is obsessed with horses and has been begging to ride one. After calling around we found Ponderosa Stables. The person on the phone was incredibly polite and squeezed us into their busy Saturday schedule.

   When I decided on Sedona as my birthday destination this year, I knew I wanted to go horseback riding while I was here. I did my research and read lots of reviews, and finally decided on Horsin' Around Adventures as the place to go. And I was not disappointed!

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Kohli Exposition Center.

   An excellent retreat at just the right time for me! Relaxed, friendly vibe. Clean, well-maintained facility. Very clean spa and pool. Good, healthy, nourishing, tasty meals, nothing fancy, my style. Well trained, well cared for horses.

    This is a dude ranch run by real horse people. The horses were pretty good and appeared well cared for. I expected the rodeo to be boring, but Russell True, one of the owners, can tell a good tale and I really enjoyed watching and learning. We tried team penning and it was very fun.

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
