About Us Wranglers Bringing Back the Old West...

George and June Staruch, owners of Hidden Valley Stables, felt strongly about operating their own establishment for western style horse riding, boarding, and lessons.  Their home and scenic land in Maricopa rest on acres of vast Sonoran desert open space country, comprising both state-owned and federal-owned (Bureau of Land Management) areas.

George and June started the stables in 2008 after they left their home state of New York.

June's love for animals has grown even stronger for all horses she and George own at the stables.  Although she said that she'll always be a New Yorker at heart, she's also admitted that her ideal would be to have a home in NY City and a ranch in Arizona or Wyoming.
