My partner is a beginner rider and said that this was the first horse he'd ever ridden who was actually responsive, and made him feel like he was doing 'proper riding!'. Our guide was lovely and had incredible knowledge about the local fauna, flora, farmers...More

We are happy to hear that you found our horses responsive. All the guides at Horseback Mexico spend time individually training our horses to keep them obedient, balances and responsive even for novice riders.

We make a point of giving enough practical riding tips to aid, even notice riders, to a safe and enjoyable ride as well as a means of safeguarding for our horses a comfortable, gentle work environment. So glad you had a good experience.

This was a wonderful way to spend the morning in the Oaxacan countryside. Gabriel was a great instructor and the horses were extremely friendly and very well looked after. Although I hadn't ridden a horse in 6 years Gabriel made me feel really relaxed and...More

Gabriel grew up riding in Oaxaca's intriguing countryside and knows the area well. You experienced late spring in Oaxaca, a time when the hills are filled with flowering cacti and agaves, and the native acacias trees are in bloom. Thanks for coming out riding.

An excellent way to spend a morning while in Oaxaca. We were complete beginners on a horse, but Farina is an excellent instructor. The scenery is gorgeous, and the horses are gentle and well-trained. Mary Jane is the charismatic owner who gave us a ride...More

We feel that it is very important that everyone who mounts a horse should have the basic knowledge to ride safely - a little instruction goes a long way to keeping horses cheerful about doing their job properly. So glad you enjoyed the experience.

We were 3 riders all together on a Monday in the Oaxaca countryside. The ranch was so very tastefully built nestled in a small village and tucked in with lovely cactus. The horses were beautiful and easy to ride, Mary Jane and her crew prepared...More

The Ruins to Backcountry Ride that you chose is indeed steeped in history with the cobbled camino real, the ex-hacienda de Guadalupe and the archeological site of Dainzu that reaches back to 200 B.C. You rode, and very nicely I'd like to add, young Midnight,...More

You did the Ruins to Hacienda Ride with trails that very quickly pass by big candelabra cacti and native nopal cacti both flowering now in early spring. As for the meal, Oaxacan cuisine is rated by many as the finest in Mexico, and at Rancho...More

Oaxaca has unlimited eco-travel possibilities; just as riding out of my ranch in the valley of Tlacolula is rich in massive old-growth organ cacti, a trip up to the Sierra Juarez guarantees forests of oak trees festooned with bromeliads. I love horse trekking anywhere in...More
