What riders say about Santa Fe stables
For my friend's 63rd birthday we went to Vision Quest and it was a wonderful time! Joaquin (our wrangler) was helpful, funny and very kind. Most importantly, the horses were healthy and well cared for. Joaquin selected the PERFECT horses for our skill levels.
We recently celebrated my birthday at four sixes and it was truly an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, Clint and Jason made us feel right at home. Before we even got on the horses, we were able to meet all the animals including the famous Clyde, the Buffalo.
Really wanted to horse back ride while in Santa Fe. Called Russ and he made it work for a sunset ride for my friends and I. Made sure our directions were accurate and set us up on the best horses. The property and trail are stunning. It was everything I dreamed! Thanks for the magical memory!
