We then head into town and start seeing flyers for this stable. In talking with shop owners and patrons I asked the question, "Why post flyers all around town when you don't have anyone to give a tour anyways?" I tried to call the owners twice and was lied to the first time on when they would be available. This place is in serious need of a business manager and their employee needs classes in customer service (which does exist by the way).
My wife and I, along with our 13 and 14yo, went on the 1hr sunset ride. It was awesome! Great people and great horses! Thank you so much Spur Cross Stables! Next time in the valley we will come back for a 2hr or more ride to experience more of the beauty of you and your ranch!!
We had a terrific Thanksgiving ride. They are used to us novice riders and had friendly staff to help us on the horses. They did a great job of matching the horse to the rider in size and personality. I rode a sweetheart named Mango and my daughter fell in love with Peaches. Our guide Kim was fun and knowledgeable about the area. She kept the horses at a comfortable pace and stopped for us to get photos, which was nice. The horses seemed heathy and well cared for and the stables were clean. We will be going back for the longer rides:)
Great experience. Beautiful scenery for a sunset ride, or even a day ride as you're surrounded by tall saguaros, wildlife, and greenery. Friendly staff as well. All animals (including horses, donkeys, mules, goats) are obviously taken care of. With well over 10 years of equine experience myself I was impressed by the setup and how they ran everything. Highly recommend! Thanks for a great time.
We had a wonderful time on our ride. The guide was hilarious and taught us about all of the old west stories. We even got to see where the stage coach comes in. I loved that all of their horses looked very well care for which is the most important thing to me. I learned later that Lee the owner takes in horses and rehabs them. Totally sold me on this place. If you are looking for a place to ride they are the only ones that can take you into the park. There is another stable on the way there that tries to take their rides as I accidentally stopped there. I could not believe it.. in fact I bet they are the ones that wrote a negative review. In any case I figured it out with no help from Siri. Once the pavement ends you must keep going on down the dirt road . Thanks again for the great ride Spur Cross!!! I will definitely be back...:-)
Have you ever walked up to a place you haven't been before and you start getting bad vibes, and you later learned your vibes were on to something? Welcome to Spur Cross. My wife and I arrived (for our reservation!!!) and we see no one around and out of the corner of my eye I see what looks to be maybe a ranch hand standing next to a horse. So I expected to be welcomed with a "Can I help you?" or "Good Morning"; but oh no; the employee starts insulting the clothing that I'm wearing (it was our anniversary so I was wearing Old West clothes to get some nice pictures). After 5 minutes of going through that nonsense, he asks me what we are there for. Seriously? Oh, we just drove an hour to be insulted and pull into some ranch just for the heck of it.
He then tells me 3 wranglers are a no call/no show and that we just as soon head back whence we came. Then a family that came in after us (from Nebraska) were told the wonderful news as well. The excuse I was given is that its near the end of the season and the guides have probably moved on. Sorry, Unacceptable! If this is the case, there are a number of ways to prevent people that have reservations driving to your ranch for a cancelled reservation. In addition, looking at the employee that did show up for work, I thought how the other 3 must have been pulled from the bottom of the barrel.
