White Stallion Ranch

When is the ranch open and what day does riding begin?

The ranch is open all year round with stays here beginning on any day and lasting for however long you wish, allowing great flexibility. Please note that riding does not take place on Sundays. The ranch is open in the summer months, however rides take place in the early morning and early evening due to the heat at this time.

What are the types of rides on offer and how often will I ride?

Rides vary from slow and scenic rides, in groups of 7-10, through the Saguaro cacti to brisk, fast cantering through the desert and surrounding mountain trails, in groups of 5-8. All day rides are frequent to the nearby Box Canyon and you will see Native American petroglyphs, they cover 20-25 miles and can last up to 8 hours. Shorter half day rides last approximately 3.5 hours. Advanced riders in particular love the team penning hour long sessions where you and three others will enjoy this activity in the large two acre rodeo arena. There is even an adults wine and cheese ride!
