Private Rides

Please note WE DO NOT RUN, CANTER OR TROT our horses due to the desert terrain and ground burrowing animals for the riders, and horses safety. Once riders demonstrate their ability to our staff, we MAY (not guaranteed) work pace up to light trot ONLY when on a PRIVATE RIDE in the arena area only. The ride will be at the weakest link’s ability. You must listen to and remain with our staff at all times.

We offer private rides for a more personalized, intimate horseback riding experience. Though it costs a little bit more than a group ride, this quality time in the isolated beauty of the Sonoran desert is well worth it.

All of our trail rides are designed as “walking” rides to keep it simple and gentle on both riders and their horses.

Picture the desert sky a brilliant blue as you ride toward the summit of South Mountain, rounding to the Estrella and Maricopa Mountains. Traverse through beautiful desert flowers, mesquite trees, sage bushes and cacti. Desert rabbits and quail dart across the trails while leaving the city of Phoenix behind. Experience the beauty of the southwest desert as it was meant to be seen… on the back of a horse.
