Great guides, very helpful, informative, and feels more like hanging out with people instead of feeling like "their just doing their job".

We did ride earlier morning. Horses are great to ride and the wranglers were great. We highly recommend you to go there if you are looking for a nice trail ride and enjoy.

We did the Sunset Margarita Horseback Ride at KOLI Equestrian Center last Thursday and had an amazing time. Such a fun, relaxing, low-key date night! Our guide was super knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the entire ride feel very safe and comfortable. The horses were absolutely beautiful, calm, friendly, and easy to ride, and the sunset views were absolutely gorgeous. Ending the evening with margaritas, chips, and salsa was the perfect touch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and unique night out in the desert! 🐴🌅🍹

Great experience riding horses. Really nice people. A little less scenic of a ride than some others that we've been on but still fun.

I brought my teenagers to ride with Koli and this one was their favorite one, out of all the rides we’ve done in AZ. Seeing the newborn baby wild horse was so special, it was almost a sign to me. We loved it and we had the best time! The horses were so well trained for novice riders, I told my friend to bring her grandkids here to ride. Guide was Colten who was patient with my group and fun to chat with, 10/10. My mom waited for us at the main area where it was beautiful table with a shaded area and someone checked on her and offered her water, it was hot that morning. Hopefully we will be back when visiting the area.

I absolutely love coming here for rides. I have gone on a sunset margarita ride and a 90 group ride and had the best experiences. The wranglers are very educated and have no problem answering any questions you may have. They are kind people who care both about the animals and your experience. I (was) a first time rider and they made it very easy on me and guided me every step of the way. I learned a lot about KOLI, the animals, and the native land they sit on. I 100000% will be going back for rides and their horse 101 lessons so I can learn more about these beautiful horses!

Jesús aka Chuy was an amazing and hilarious guide! He was super helpful and patient with a beginner rider. Highly recommend the sunset ride if you are in the area! The ride was perfect for a beginner and the horses were very gentle. I would absolutely come back and recommend the ride to others as well!

Had a relaxing easy ride with our guide Danielle. She was easy to talk to and get to know. Informative about living on the reservation and the history and culture in the Arizona area.

BRIAN was a great tour guide. We had a great experience for our first time horseback riding. The owner is a little on the feisty side, he seemed a little irritated but it was fine! Brian our guide was so sweet and gentle and patient with us! Recommend him 10/10 I think he definitely helped our experience be that much more enjoyable.

Riah Mer 04/29/2026

Had the best time here with my girlfriend. It was my first time ever horseback riding and the experience exceeded every expectation. Our wrangler Bryan made it so easy and fun. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly has a ton of knowledge about the horses. The horses are beautiful and you can tell they are well cared for. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bryan!

Anthony C 04/27/2026

What an experience! Our guide Matt was super nice and made us feel comfortable on our horses. Would definitely recommend. And if you are staying at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass, KOLI Equestrian comes over with a horse so if you are lucky enough to meet one of them you may be able to get a discount!

My sister and I took a 90 minute morning tour last Friday and it was an amazing experience.

Chuy and the whole crew were incredible. We saw much of the beauty the Sanoran Desert has to offer, and saw a stunning sunset with some great drinks. Cannot recommend this enough, for locals and tourists alike.

Always the best experience riding at Koli! The horses are beautiful and friendly and the staff are all wonderful; so kind and welcoming, and fun to ride with! This is one of the best places to ride in Arizona without a doubt.

Did the 1 hour evening margarita ride and it was a blast! We had a group of five plus two guides. So much fun. Had not been on a horse in 30+ years. No problem. They explained everything and the horses were all well mannered. Guides were very easy going and friendly, constantly joking around. Would highly recommend.

Can't recommend Koli Equestrian Center enough. I went with a group of girlfriends for a sunset horseride for about an hour. The staff took great care of us. Their horses were all lovely and well cared for. The staff were humorous and made sure that we were all comfortable. The margaritas afterwards were delicious and their grounds were serene. Would highly recommend!

Our family had the greatest time on the 90 minute tour! The tour guides are fantastic. They pick out the perfect horse for each person and make sure everyone is safe and feels comfortable, even a complete novice to horseback riding like me. Our kids, 11 and 8, said this was the highlight of our spring break trip. 100% recommend booking a tour at Koli if you are in the Phoenix area.

Chewy and Cam were awesome. We had a great time on a 90min group ride; horses were extremely relaxed, good-natured, and Cam and Chewy did a great job with the group. I rode a lot as a kid so this was not a new to me, but I was extremely impressed at how they handled a large group that had probably never ridden once in their lives. Everyone had a great time. Will be back for a sunset ride very soon.

Will Douglas 03/23/2026

Colton was an excellent guide for our 60 minute private trail ride. He gave us excellent directions and tips for being on the horses, especially since I was nervous. I would highly recommend this experience, great for families. We'll be back for the sunset margarita ride!

Our early morning ride was everything I’d hoped for. The wranglers were kind and helpful getting us geared up and properly seated. No worries about my level of experience, they made everything easy. The horses were gentle & well cared for. Our trail wrangler, Buffalo, was charming and knowledgeable. Our group was small and we were able to take time to appreciate the beautiful desert landscape. It was a wonderful experience for a novice like myself & an experienced rider like my husband.

Just wanted to say thank you to Danielle, Rocky and Pony Boy for a great afternoon trail ride today. Danielle was so friendly and a great guide. Our horses Rocky and Pony Boy were really relaxed trail horses, super agreeable and easy to ride. Was very enjoyable out in the desert area, lots of little yellow, orange, and purple flowers in bloom right now. Really nice facilities as well. Highly recommend Danielle as a guide and we are already planning on going back next week! Thank you again! Update - Took my son in for the kids extended session this week. Colton was fantastic! Very patient and attentive. Great instruction, explained everything clearly, and checked in with me to make sure he covered what we were looking for. Everyone we have encountered on our two visits has been so welcoming and professional. Highly recommend this place.

Koli Equestrian Center is a beautiful, welcoming place, and every staff member we met was friendly and helpful. Our sunset ride with Colton was a highlight—he made each rider feel comfortable, included, and confident throughout the experience. The horses were gentle and easy to ride, which made the whole outing even more enjoyable. After the ride, we loved relaxing with Monika’s margaritas and chatting with the other guests. Koli is a wonderful choice for families and riders of all experience levels, from first‑timers to those with more time in the saddle. Thank you for a peaceful, memorable ride!

My ten year old son and I went on a hour and a half horseback ride on 2-22-26 for a morning ride. Our three guides were super friendly, knowledgeable about the wildlife, local area and historical significance of surrounding communities. The guides were engaging towards each of the guests in the group. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Koli Equestrian Center if you are in the Chandler area! It was such an amazing experience that if I had one more day to stay I would have booked another ride. My son loved riding his own horse. If we are ever in the area again we are definitely going back for another ride. Thank you to all the professional guides at Koli for an amazing day. You made a ten year old boy feel like a real cowboy for a day.

All the way from HTX, this was a highlight of my trip! Both Nate & Mathew were phenomenal! Very knowledgeable and patient as we tried our best to ride along the trail! (No I was not scared…kinda) My family and I will be returning hopefully sooner than later. Beyond blessed to have had my birthday in Arizona this year with amazing people:) I would recommend to book your next trail ride with KOLI!

We gave our granddaughter the Horses 101 ride for her 8th birthday and rode with her. Wrangler Robert was great with her, teaching her how to groom and saddle her horse before a short session on riding and steering in the corral. The highlight was the one-hour ride in the desert. She loved it and wants to go again. So do we!

Kevin Kraft 02/18/2026

Pleasant ride with Colton as guide in wide open space so you ride abreast of each other rather than nose-to-tail. Beautiful sunset with tasty Margarita afterwards. Would do it again!

Guys, this is a must! Not only was it an amazing experience on the horses but the friendly staff was the cherry on top. My wife and I were first time riders and the leaders helped teach us how to control the horse and offered tips along the ride. We went on Valentine’s Day evening and it was a special night that left us extremely satisfied with our visit. Thank you guys, keep up the excellent work! We’ll be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Kohli Exposition Center. The horse riding tour was unforgettable the guides were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made everyone feel comfortable, whether it was your first time on a horse or you’d ridden before. The group we rode with was full of wonderful people, and the whole experience felt fun, relaxed, and really well organized. The horses were well cared for and easy to ride, and the scenery made the entire tour feel special. If you’re looking for a memorable outing with great energy, great guides, and a great group atmosphere, I highly recommend the Kohli Exposition Center. We’ll definitely be back.

We did February’s Full Moon Wagon Ride and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience.

This was our 2nd time to Koli Equestrian. The first time we did a group ride which included about 8 people. The 2nd ride was a private ride of 4 people. The guides were knowable, professional and really explained the native people, the horses, and the land. Very enjoyable and memorable. Hope to return next year. They have a variety of rides offered online. Great people and horses.

We were helped guided on our ride by Colton and he made the experience easy to check , gave good instruction, very kind and had good conversation with our group and even took pictures for us! Ending the ride we got margaritas after and met Matt and Ray . Who were also very welcoming, gave fun facts and history of koli equestrian center.

What a great time. We did the sunset Margarita ride. The horses were great, well mannered, and clean. The Ray and the other wranglers were awesome, full of personality and really loved their jobs. We are staying at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass. Koli provided a free shuttle from the resort. And of course the margaritas topped off a good time.

Always a great time at KOLI I've been back several times because of the great care they give to each person every time. It doesn't matter if it's your 1st time riding or 200th time they remain patient and caring. This visit was the margaritas sunset ride, epic evening. Wish you could hang with the horses after the ride but hanging with Chewy, Mat and Ray was real cool and full of laughter. Great place 👌 ❤️
