   Our experience at Grindstone Stables was one of the highlights of our trip. This is a wonderful family run business, and you can tell they genuinely care about both their customers and their horses. The owner's daughter and her family led our ride, and they were fantastic.

   Wonderful stables and riding program. The horses were all in great shape, clearly their rehab program is taking all the right measures to keep horses in ideal condition. Wranglers were all professional and experienced.

   This is by far one of the easiest and fun adventures that I have had with my family in a long time. The owner is extremely nice, informative, patient with younger children, and makes the entire experience enjoyable while cracking jokes. The ranch is beautiful! The horses are well-behaved.

   Horseback riding is a must in Santa Fe if you want to enjoy the beauty of the NM valleys. The horse were gently giants and autonomous, so it's perfect for beginners rider. This ride was especially memorable for me since it was also the day I proposed to my Fiancee! Harold worked with me to set up the special occasion.

   My sister and I were on a girls’ trip and decided last minute that we wanted to go horseback riding. We reached out to several places, and Running Horse Ranch stood out immediately because Carlo got back to us so quickly.

   Red River Stables is a must add to your list of adventures in Red River. My husband and I hadn’t been on horses for decades and found the experience amazing! I was surprised that I was able to have such a great trail ride as a beginner. Our guide, Nicole, was wonderful.

   Great experience. My daughter's Girl Scout troop had a ride here. They took them through basic care, grooming, and even had them sale their own horses. Friendly and professional. I enjoyed it. The horses were well behaved and very calm.

    Amazing ride! Jill was a fantastic guide and shared a lot of history and stories along the ride. The trails and views are beautiful. This is by far the best trail ride I have ever been on and I would absolutely recommend them! I hope to return someday! Thank you!!!

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.
