5.00Beth and her cowboys are the best. The horses are calm and well trained. The tour is fun for both experienced riders and beginners. Something for everyone. Nature was beautiful. The food afterwards authentic and very cozy. A must. Thank you for the memories!

5.00We had an amazing time riding horses with Beth as our guide. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The two cowboys helping us were awesome. They allowed us to trot and go faster if we wanted to. I am a newbie and felt totally safe and comfortable. The homemade lunch at the ranch afterwards was delicious. The driver dropped us off at our hotel at the end of the day. Highly recommend as a great way to relax and connect with nature on your vacation.
Best experience in SMA

5.00Our third trip with Beth and the cowboys! I am a city slicker and just love this experience! It is a one of a kind and highly recommend it. A wonderful meal all safe with purified water for the juices. The cowboys and Beth have the horses trained above and beyond safety compared to other horse experiences anywhere. If you have any fears, don’t! GO! My favourite experience in SMA. If you haven’t done the pools do that as well we did 2x and it’s amazing!!!

5.00A wonderful experience riding horses with spectacular views. The family was very patient and kind. If you wanted to gallop, you could. If you only wanted to walk, you could. They served us an authentic and delicious lunch. I would go again!
Gorgeous day of riding and fabulous food!

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic day riding with Beth, Catalino and Reyes. This is a really special experience to have not far from San Miguel. My husband and I felt safe and relaxed the entire time, the vaqueros were very professional and friendly - the area we rode in was gorgeous and we got to see some small rural communities along the way. The lunch at the ranch after the ride was wonderful. I would recommend this day trip to anyone who loves to ride and I would confidently say that even a novice rider will do fine with their guidance.
This outfit is the BEST!!!

5.00A marvelous 4 hours spent in the beautiful lush green countryside with Beth and her wranglers!! This was my 4th ride with them -- this one was with my 19 year old granddaughter who is off to college in the Fall!! We had a memorable day and enjoyed every moment of it!!! Crossing the roaring river was really something -- but we did it!!! This outfit is the BEST!!!

5.00I had the pleasure of experiencing the horseback riding adventure with my daughter, and it was absolutely fantastic! Overall, this was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting San Miguel de Allende.
Enjoyable Sunday morning ride - even for the inexperienced rider!

5.00My sister and I enjoyed a leisurely 2-hour guided ride through the foothills outside of San Miguel. I am not an experienced rider and was immediately put at ease by Beth and her caballeros who accompanied us on our ride. Will plan to go back when my sister returns for a visit and there is water in the arollo. Maybe next time I will get up the gumption to trot like she did! The ride is followed up with a delicious and filling traditional meal complete with aguas refrescas. Thank you Beth for a delightful experience. Oh and besides your water bottle, hat, long pants and comfortable shoes - you might want to bring a bandana especially if it is the dry season.
Beautiful Horse ride
