What riders say about Sanford stables

Hidden Palms Ranch

I booked the group trail ride as a tourist from the UK and it’s one of my favourite trail rides I’ve ever done. Beki immediately makes you feel welcome, they match you with the most suitable horses, all of which are such gentle souls, you could easily do this trail ride as someone with no horse experience.

★★★★★ Eliza, May 2026
