A few people pitched in to pay for a ride to celebrate my friend's 22nd birthday and we went as a group of 4. It was such a beautiful ride and they were so kind to us and let us stay for as long as we liked to give the horses pats post ride. They were even still as kind after we accidentally brought home one of their worker's bags . Our friend had the most amazing time and felt so loved! She continued to whisper 'I saw horsies' for the entirety of the drive home, she was so happy. Thank you for such a great ride and experience.

Instead of a party we chose to take 5 children on a family trail ride with Zia. I can't begin to tell you how impressed I was with the level of service we received. I have ridden horses before but only at a beginner level and not with children. Our instructor efficiently handled the children and the trail ride was at a perfect pace. They offered the children constant support but also some independence which they all loved. I highly recommend Zia and their wonderful team.
