The staff was more than friendly and helpful and did their best to assess each rider's ability so as to best fit them with a well-suited horse. Our guide was friendly and informative and was excellent at making sure the least experienced riders quickly became comfortable on their mounts. We took a 2-hour early morning ride in June, just at ...
We had a convention in Palm Springs and any time I travel I always look for horse back riding as I love to ride. My husband and I took a two hour ride with Bruce and he was the best. Gave great tips about riding and gave a wonderful tour into the mountain. Most of the places I've been take you on a boring, slow, ride not here!! If you ...

The guides were not extremely knowledable about the terrain but they were when it came to horses. The area is beutiful. Note, however, that they are normally closes in the summer.

Great facility with quality horses. The guides are knowledgable not only about horses but also about the local history, trails and terrain. It makes for a great trail ride. You can ride through the actual "Palm Springs" that gives the city it's name.
You will not be corraled into a boring, follow the leader trail ride. My friends and I had a great ride and saw whole other side of Palm Springs. Have fun!

Private Rides

I had an awesome time doing a semi-private ride with my sister and one of the Smoke Tree Stable guides. We were able to carve our own path and even gallop when it was safe. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!
