Max was a great guide...fun and friendly guy!! My husband left his phone in the van. Max took the time to bring it back to the resort. My horse, Pocahontas was very calm, which made me very comfortable. The terrain is a little rough in some areas, if you are wanting that kind of experience. Ladies, for those of you who like to gallop, I suggest wearing a sports bra! Wonderful experience!

My experience with Rancho Notorious, Ernesto was absolutely amazing. I was too cautious to ride horses since I was in my teens but with Ernesto’s gentle explanations of how he had trained his horses and gave me clear and concise information about how they were trained and letting me try out just sitting on a horse while he lead it around the corral and demonstrating how the horse closely followed his instructions and then dropping the reins to show me how the horse would not move forward without instructions, gave me the confidence to throughly relax and enjoy horseback riding for the first time in years. I will always be thankful for that unexpected experience to change my feelings about horseback riding and plan to enjoy it for years to come!

Such an amazing time. Ride ride was just the right amount as far as duration for beginners. The horses are very well-kept and healthy and we’re easy to work with as far as riding and cheering. Nester and the rest of the staff there were absolutely amazing hosts! We would definitely do this right again!
