    Private Horseback Ride
    I was given this wonderful opportunity as a surprise from my boyfriend, Drew. I’ve been a western rider for 50 years and still own a quarter horse, but haven’t had much time in the last few years. This ride was everything an experienced rider could ask for. Deb Creighton is not only a gifted guide , with a wealth of knowledge and experience, but she is truly a sweetheart! She made me feel like we could be good friends, if we lived in the same place. She took me in beautiful areas and the scenery was perfect. Deb and Bill have great riding horses that are well trained and obviously well cared for—which is very important to me. I have had many riding experiences in my life, and this ranks in one of my very top rides. I can highly recommend Deb and Bill. They are professional and friendly and dedicated to providing their clients with a great experience.

    I actually did a couple of rides with Joseph and rode Jasper both times. Each ride was exciting, magical and worth every cent - such a unique experience! Joseph is a fantastic guide and knows every inch of the area. We had great conversations about the area and the natural habitat. I'll be back next time I'm in AZ for sure. Thanks to everyone at Windwalkers for everything - you made my rides amazing - memories to last a lifetime!

    WOW ! WOW! WOW!!!! My guide was Clydeia (I hope I spelled that right) Thanks -- I went on a 5 hour ride with her on Saturday (It was supposed to be 4) AWESOME --- I used to ride every weekend in Wisconsin until about 5 years ago and then circumstances happed where I could not - Work brought me to Arizona where I was "stuck" for the weekend - I searched the internet until I found Wind walkers ( A bit expensive- (BUT) I had an experience of a lifetime. I rode in Arizona before - but nothing like the experience I had last weekend --- The horse (Streaker) was great. He was easy to control and had a great temperament. Clyedia knew the flora and fauna of the desert. She also knew the trails and terrain. So, I really felt comfortable riding with her knowing she had a vast knowledge of the desert. She also kept me hydrated by making sure I drank enough water. (It was HOT and I have been used to negative temperatures in Wisconsin this winter). Thanks again In conclusion, The ride and guide was well worth it. I highly recommend Wind walkers for an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. I don't mean to sound redundant but -- WOW.

    Excellent! I've been riding all my life, but frequently fall off because I don't like to pay attention to what I'm doing as I'd rather enjoy my surroundings and let the horse handle the rest. Joseph was my guide and he rode Levi. I rode Jasper, what an amazing boy he is! So intelligent, interested in his surroundings and totally in charge of his domain! He gave me the freedom to forget myself and enjoy the Sonoran desert surrounding us. Great horse, excellent spirit and temperament. Levi doesn't like to lead, but Jasper does, so Joseph let me be out in front quite a bit of the trip, which was good for Jasper... I'm used to riding quarter horses, not Arabians.... this was the smoothest, most confident ride I've ever had. I came out of the saddle SEVERAL times running up the hills... Jasper was great... he was so sure of himself, that I had no fear. Can he come home with me?????

    We had an amazing time! Our guide, Clydea, was professional and friendly. Her beautiful horses, Dude and Big Red, were wonderful! I've been on several third party trail rides and I've never been on horses as responsive as these. The private setting (just us and the guide) afforded us the opportunity to go at our own pace. I would definitely recommend Clydea and Windwalkers to anyone looking for an experience above the rest!

    During my second visit to the Phoenix and with very little convincing from my mom, we decided to go horseback riding during our vacation. After a little web research I happend upon the Windwalker website and I can't express my excitement to have found a company that will allow you to really ride a horse not just follow the one in front of you. Our guide Barry was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and was able to show us some very beautiful scenery. My mom and both enjoyed ourselves so much that we can't wait to go back again! Thank you so much Barry and Windwalker for such an enjoyable experience.

    There is no better way to get to know a region than on horseback and Windwalker Expeditions provided that for us. I'm from Washington state and my friend Denise arranged a horseback ride like I've never had before. We had a great guide who provided us with an entertaining tour in part of spectacular Tonto National Forest. Barry Moffett supplied us with beautiful horses that were impressively trained and well mannered, in excellent physical condition and meticulously groomed and outfitted with impeccable tack. He immediately put us at ease about riding unfamiliar horses with his casual cowboy manner; he accurately assessed our riding abilities and accordingly provided us with an adventure to match our skill level and treat us to an exciting ride and a breathtaking introduction to desert splendor. He entertained us with cheerful conversation, stories and information about the beautiful Arizona high desert. This was a riding adventure that we won't forget and I wholeheartedly recommend that you book a ride with Windwalker Expeditions---ask for Barry and tell him Susan and Denise sent you.

    Truly one of the best days ever on horseback! My friend, Susan and I were not sure what to expect but we were so pleasantly surprised. Our guide was Barry Moffett and he was the quintessential cowboy. He was an excellent guide...telling us all about Tonto National Forest and the flora and fauna of the area. Safety was very important. We came across some people with a dog off leash and he made sure we were both safe from any unexpected situation we might have been put in. Our ride was beautiful. The scenery breathtaking. Both of us have experience riding and Barry made sure we got to use our skills! Lots of trotting, cantering, hills and in now way your typical "nose to butt" trail ride. I rode Shortcake, his blonde Paint. He was perfect! Susan rode Chief, a black and white Paint that had excellent manners and was fun to ride. Thank you Barry, Shortcake and Chief for a memorable day! We will ride again with Wind Walker.

    What to get my wife for her birthday? It didn’t take long to find the perfect thing. WindWalker Expeditions had just the thing – a 2 hour horseback riding adventure in the Tonto forest, Arizona. Riding horses is something she loves, not so much for me, but it is her birthday – so I signed us up. We arrived at our designated spot and the excitement was high. Me – will I was a little nervous since I’ve been on a horse only once in my lifetime. Kayla was excited though (It’s a hit!). Barry was our guide and from the start we knew we were in good hands. 10 years of rodeo riding, many more taking people out riding, or packing in. Safety was upmost in his mind and he watched over us during the whole ride. But there was so much to the ride. Barry kept us entertained with stories and experiences while we saw some of the most beautiful country in America. Up, down, all around – It was all fun. I learned how to lead a horse and to my surprise it was one of the best entertainment ventures I have been on in my 59 years. Kayla was full of wonder and excitement as we rode fast up a hill, slow down the next, through the canyons of the country. Trotting the horse was completely new to me and what a wild experience. In the end, we saw beautiful country, had a breathtaking ride with the best guild one could have had. My nerves were not an issue from the moment I got up on the horse. I surprised even myself when, at the end I said, “We have to do this again – where to next time?” For those who have not had this experience – ask for Barry and know you will love it. For those who love to ride – it’s the most fun, the most beautiful and the best company anyone can have. Thanks Barry and thanks to WindWalker for the best birthday present ever. How am I going to possibly top this? Barry – Where to next?

    I have never had so much fun horseback riding. Joseph was a great instructor! Seeing three rattlesnakes was exciting. Joseph knew a lot about his environment. I would recommend any body to go and see what Arizona is like. There is not one thing here in Illinois to compare this too!! Thank you all so very much!

    Thank you Joseph at Windwalker Expeditions!!! You were an awesome guide :) My niece and I had such a wonderful morning exploring the wilderness - it was the ultimate horseback experience! Have to say that this was the most enjoyable "non-trail" ride ever...loved being able to trot & canter!!! Your horses are beautiful and so well trained. Thank you!

    My husband and I went out with Clydea as our guide. This was the best horseback ride we've ever been on! The trails were much wider than we'd anticipated, and they snaked through lovely canyons with scrub oak and juniper. We trotted and cantered - it was like being in a movie. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Barbara

    We had an amazing time today. The scenery was incredible and included a waterfall in the desert. We have been on several guided tours in AZ and this is by far the best. Barry's horses were in great shape and we felt confident in his knowledge and handling to go a bit above our experience and trot and go faster. We will definitely be booking on our next trip! Thank you so much, Barry and Windwalker!

Clydea provided so much information about the history of the town and all the different plants and trees, as we traveled through the serene desert. Our horseback ride adventure was also the perfect blend of relaxing walking, happy trotting, and invigorating loping of our horses. It was the highlight of our vacation and we can't wait to come back. Thank you, Clydea!

    We had a wonderful experience. My 13 year old daughter and I both have some riding experience, but my husband does not (and would much rather be on the golf course), and all of us had a great ride. The terrain was beautiful and exciting and the horses were well mannered and capable. Our guide, Barry Moffet, was great! He made the ride fun and informative for all of us. Thank you! We will definitely do this again when we are in AZ next time.

    It was awesome! Our guide, Barry, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He had a ton of fun stories and it was great talking with him. Not only was he well versed in the desert flora and fauna, but he had a lot of experience with the area and told us about each part we passed. He also took us to some of his personal favorite spots. We highly recommend both him and Windwalker Expeditions to anyone looking for a great trip through the Arizona desert.

    This was our second time to ride with Windwalker. Our guide Barry was fantastic and took us on some beautiful and challenging trails. We rode two of his steer-roping quarter horses and they were great. It's such a pleasure to ride well-trained horses through such majestic desert areas, places you would never see otherwise. Thank you! We are already planning a trip for next year and Windwalker will be part of it.

    AMAZING!! Once a year I head to AZ for my one weekend of horseback riding. I heard about Windwalker Expeditions and had the pleasure to ride with Joseph in 2010, 2011 and just scheduled my upcoming trip for 2012 with him. I can't say enough regarding how professional he is and how well trained his horses are. Each ride is a wonderful, and one of kind learning experience. During the ride Joseph pointed out various vegetation forms that you could eat if ever stranded in the dessert. I learn something new each ride. I send much thanks to Dan as well for sharing so much with me about AZ and its history. If you are looking for a very professional company to book a ride with that will pair you up with a professional guide and horses then WWE is the company to go with.
