Guests will embark on a beautiful 90 minute ride through Coronado National Forest and Catalina State Park with amazing view of Santa Catalina Mountains. We take the time to personally estimate your abilities and then match you to a horse for your height and weight to make the trip as safe and comfortable as possible. There is a 240lb weight limit for your safety and the health of our horses. Although it takes a lot of time this process ensures that you are as safe as possible as this is our primary concern. So, please be patient with this individual instruction and loading. Once we are all safely riding horses we will follow beautiful trails with amazing views of the Saguaro Cactus and the Santa Catalina Mountains. Let's take some time by pausing to take some scenic family pictures and enjoy the vista. We have many amazing trails so the rides are always interesting with different trails.

We had an amazing time! Ava and Cherokee led us on a trail to fantastic views of the mountains and the terrain. We very much enjoyed the tour and conversations with Ava. Great for beginners and comfortable riders. Very calm and well-trained horses with personality! It’s a wonderful trip and worth the drive to Tucson. Definitely not a money grab! Go for it!

A meditative horse ride. There were 3 of us, including the guide, and followed a dirt -sand trail for 90 minutes. Once we rode to a higher elevation it was pretty. Don't expect any trotting etc. No surprises.

Such an amazing experience!! Ross was our guide on our 90 minute tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable & very kind. The farm was easily accessible and all of the staff were very friendly! Great value for the money spent and would recommend. Horses were super sweet and well taken care of!

Ross was our guide and not only was he an excellent horseman but he was hilarious. I’d recommend this for anyone who enjoys riding. Everyone else at the ranch were helpful and friendly.

Ari was amazing and so great as our guide. The ride was perfect for our little group, engaging, knowledgeable, fun to talk with along the trail. The horses were matched perfect to each of us. Overall, great guide, beautiful views, weather was perfect and the horses were wonderful. We will recommend them and be back ourselves when we visit again. Thanks for a fabulous tie.

The horses were in great condition and Ross was easy and enjoyable to talk to. The setting in the Catalina mountains was beautiful. Felt like the Old West!

I'm visiting AZ and wanted to try a horseback ride for the first time. This was very enjoyable and just what I was hoping for! Ari was an excellent guide, super friendly and knowledgeable, and Chuck (my horse) was gentle and easy to ride. I'd definitely recommend this experience and I'm likely to come back again next year.
