Our tour guide was Ally and she was very informative about the ranch and desert and also very personable. The lead guide kept us all on pace and then there was another rider from the ranch bringing up the rear of the group. So although nothing went wrong, they seem to have plenty of staff to handle anything that may have come up on the ride. We were lucky enough to get a beautiful sunset. Ally also helped out and took out photos along the ride. This was my husband and two kids (16 & 13) first time riding. They all got very calm and appropriate horses to ride.

I brought my boyfriends niece and nephew to McDonald’s Ranch! They absolutely LOVED it! They rode the ponies, fed the goats, and spent so much time at the petting zoo!

Love that you get the true Arizona experience when you come here!…
