The typical ride begins after some instruction from the wrangler, and then you’ll saddle up to begin the ride… Our wranglers love taking people on this ride along some of the more spectacular desert trails.
Our horse trail riding guided tours can be tailored specifically to fit your Arizona horseback riding needs whether your own private ride or our group ride. We do not do “head to tail” riding. This gives the opportunity for a more personalized tour and the ability to ask questions and discuss what you are seeing with your guide. Arizona horseback riding is our specialty, so come on out and treat yourself and your family to the Phoenix horseback riding vacation of your dreams, it’s rich in native history.
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.
To enjoy horseback riding, go early in the cool morning air, or later in the day to enjoy the sunset. Please make sure you are hydrated, as you might not be use to our extremely dry weather of Arizona. Our friendly, experienced cowgirls and cowboys will mount you up on one of our gentle trail riding horses. There’s plenty of time on this casual ride for pictures as our guides lead you through the mesquite trees, Prickly Pear and many other desert plants, shrubs and cacti.
