Cookouts and sunset rides too! Look for them here. |

Horseback riding with us leaves you feeling as if
you're immersed in the Old West as you go down washes and through passes that make up the grandeur
of the desert and nearby mountains. Unique to the
ranch is the choice of not riding nose to tail while remaining behind the lead
wrangler. Horse riding is therapeutic. We faciliate riding for the disabled and special needs
children. Note: Minimum trail ride age is 6 years old.
Free pasture rides for those under 6 years of age.

Respect
for and knowledge
of a horse is a fundamental part of teaching people to ride. A horse won't be ridden until you've cleaned its
hooves, brushed it, saddled it. Experienced staff teach saddling, riding techniques, and horse care. You'll be
riding the open spaces of the Sonoran Desert down washes and through passes
on acres of land that can go far into the back country cut off from civilization. Lessons are $25 per hour, pay as you go, and $20/hr.
with a prepaid 5-lesson contract. The sixth riding lesson is free.
 Grass, the 'bulk' food of horses in the wild state, needs supplementation. |
