If you have kids and they know nothing about horses, try this. We had friends visiting with 5 and 9 years old kids and we went. They loved it. The 2 hour ride was pleasant, easy and safe for the kids. We encountered 2 rattle snakes and the sahuaros were exceptionally beautiful in their shapes and size. This is the... More

After reading all the excellent reviews on Trip advisor we booked our ride! The ranch isn't that hard to find just look for the Houston name on the front driveway. We were happily greeted when we arrived. First you have to sign a couple pages of waivers incase anything happens the Ranch is not responsible for any injuries that may... More

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed riding through the desert and the dinner was great! I also had no problem with my horse, Odie, he was very well trained.

We had a group of 5...two adults, 2 teens and a 9 year old all with various levels of riding experience. The horses were gentle and well taken care of and the whole experience... More

Beautiful trail ride in the Saguaro National Park. The guides are very informative and it is a very good set up. This is the second time we have used Bobby's services and enjoyed both times very much. We are both novice horse riders but were looked after very well. It is $60 each but we feel that is good value... More

Our 10 yr. old son was a little hesitant, he had never been on a horse before. Bobbi, Kaci, and Charlie made us all at ease. Matching... More

The trail ride was good fun, the guides are very experienced with horses and it was amazing to get out and see the National Park from a completely different angle. But be warned it's an expensive 2 hours - $60 per person. A lot of money for a family of four. having said that my daughters adored it and so... More
