Joaquin and Kelly led 5 family members of all ages from never ridden to rode years ago on a beautiful ride. The horses were perfectly cared for and trained. Everyone had a fantastic time and felt right at home. Couldn’t have been better!

Joaquin and Kelly were so amazing, nice and accommodating! We booked this trip months in advance and was so happy with the communication and confirmation process. Very professional and fun! You could tell their horses are very well taken care of. They answered any questions I had about riding and felt very safe having never been on a horse before. We will be back the next time we are in Santa Fe!

Booked a two-hour ride for my girlfriends birthday, and couldnt be any happier with the experience! Joaquin was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and made learning to ride a very easy, comfortable process. His horses were very mellow and easy to mount/dismount/ride, even for a beginner such as myself. He picked a beautiful area to ride (the Galisteo Basin Preserve) and took pictures for us so we could just enjoy the ride and be present in the moment, but still have keepsake photos sent to us via text. If youre looking for a horseback riding adventure, this is the guy to go to!

Joaquin was spot on in the communication when I reached out to inquire about scheduling. Joaquin and Kelly were awesome in educating us on horse 101! They were great with the kids and so were the horses! Joaquin has a kids also and puts the kids safety first! Along the one hour ride he took about 58+ photos to capture the family! We all really enjoyed this experience!

Joaquin and Kelly gave my boyfriend and I the best horse riding experience! They were the coolest people with the coolest horses. Will definitely recommend to anyone!

For my friends 63rd birthday we went to Vision Quest and it was a wonderful time! Joaquin (our wrangler) was helpful, funny and very kind. Most importantly, the horses were healthy and well cared for. Joaquin selected the PERFECT horses for our skill levels. We were also very fortunate to be able to ride on the Tuseque Reservation due to the graciousness of Alan who rode with us. I cant thank both gentlemen enough for their kindness and the knowledge they shared. Well worth the trip and I will definitely ride with them again when I get back to New Mexico!

Five of our family members went riding with Joaquin during our visit to Santa Fe last week. From ages 12 to 73, we all talked about the wonderful experience we each had on our horses as we rode on the trails outside of Santa Fe. Joaquin took the time to teach us about horses and how to ride before we got on the saddle. Hes an excellent teacher and talked about the landscapes that we all enjoyed on the trail. He took many photos of our group that he shared with us and we got to feed the horses carrots after we dismounted. Ive been on many horseback rides in Colorado and Texas - this ride was one of the best! My granddaughters would agree!

My husband and I are novices as far as horseback riding goes, but we were made comfortable by our knowledgeable guide, Adam Joaquin Gonzalez. Joaquin was a wonderful host whose deep love and understanding of his horses--and horses, in general--is amazing. He increased our understanding of these remarkable animals and helped our basic riding skills (mounting and dismounting, safety measures, the importance of foot placement in stirrups, etc).We had a great 2-hour ride as we viewed scenic Santa Fe and chatted. A definiteThumbs Up experience for us which we both heartily recommend!Cindy and Steve R.

Our family of five could not have enjoyed ourselves more. My 11 year daughter had never ridden a horse and Joaquin made her feel so comfortable. We all loved it.

Fabulous ride with knowledgeable guide about the Santa Fe area. Not the typical stable situation.... great personal service and lively conversation! Great experience!

Joaquin is a great guide, best there is and best you could ask for. Friendly, knowledgeable, tells great stories, a delight on the trail. You won’t regret it!

I would highly recommend Joaquin. We had a wonderful ride in a beautiful setting and his expertise and horsemanship tips were unsurpassed. I felt immediately comfortable. My horse Cheyenne was a dream. I cant wait to ride again!

Made reservation in May. Contacted him this week and he stated rates went up because of his costs/time and that was that. When I complained only then did he try to correct but didnt like that I was going to post review stating such and said I was threatening him. He then just said I could cancel and have a blessed day. His business ethics and christian beliefs only merge when convenient and was overly concerned with his reputation...commitment starts with honoring your promise the moment you make it, not when someone has to point it out...we cancelled.

Joachim was awesome - knowledgeable, personable, and lots of fun to ride with. He worked diligently with us to find a date, time and weather conditions to maximize our enjoyment. Horses are beautiful and easy to manage, well-chosen for our level. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had such a great experience with Joaquin and his horses. I had some riding experience and my husband had none and we both had an awesome time! Really neat way to see the countryside and learn about horsemanship and Santa Fe. Highly recommend!

My 6 year old granddaughter was in her glory! Joaquin is great with children. He puts them at ease, insures their safety and teaches them about the horses and the surrounding land and culture. I have never known such gentle and well socialized horses. The love between them and Joaquin is evident! Lucy went on a real trail ride and trotted for the first time. She is already asking her mom when can she come back.

Joaquin was amazing. He did a great job of picking horses with the appropriate temperament for me and my girlfriend. The ride itself was incredible, the route we took offered a great view of the landscape. I wish we had done a two hour ride, the one hour flies by.

What a blast!! My husband and I went on a 2 hour sunset ride. Russ was funny, knowledgeable and down to earth. Our mounts had great trail manners. Highly recommend.

Ive taken my 2 year old daughter out to ride with Vision Quest twice now. She loves the horses and theyre very gentle with her. Joaquin is wonderful with her and with the horses. All of his horses are well taken care of and loved. I look forward to taking her back to ride many times and when shes old enough shell enjoy lessons with him.

Beautiful, spiritual experience. Joaquin was an amazing guide, and I bonded right away with the sweet horse I rode, Aztec (I admit I wanted to take him back home to Rhode Island with me). Would highly recommend to friends/family and strangers alike, who are looking for more than your average trail ride.

Such an amazing experience. I loved the beautiful scenery, the guide is very personable, and knowledgeable. We just laughed and really enjoyed our horses. I will definitely be using this company when comeback.

Joaquin was the perfect teacher, taught me how to ride, and the horse he gave me was perfect. He made our vacation special. I give him a 5++++ review.

We had a 1 year old & a 2 year old & they loved it! 💜 Their horses are super sweet & you might have a little horse following haha

What an amazing expirience!!! Go. You will not be disappointed. I could tell you all the best stuff, but you have to just do it.

Fantastic for novice and more experienced
