White Stallion Ranch

Can't say enough about how incredible this ranch is for a perfect getaway. The room was great, the staff was friendly that we felt like family, the activities were fun, the grounds were amazing and the food was delicious! And, the excellent care for the horses was palpable.

Absolutely amazing experience at White Stallion Ranch! Every single staff member was super professional, responsible, and incredibly friendly — they really made me feel at home. The horses are top quality and very well-trained, so I felt totally safe the entire time. I loved that they let you choose rides based on your experience level — I did both the fast and slow rides, and they were all so much fun! The scenery is straight out of a classic Western movie — right outside the ranch is a stunning national park with those iconic desert views. The food was great too — breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious and really hit the spot after a long ride. Evenings were packed with fun and different activities every night. Oh, and by the way… the cowboys are seriously handsome and the cowgirls are gorgeous! 😄 Highly recommend this place — I’ll definitely be back!

We stayed 10 of us this September 2025 in the Hacienda on the all american plan (all dining and most activities included). The facility is beautiful - truly well put together with a very nice flow and immaculate desert landscaping. The hacienda is extremely well appointed and the layout of it is fantastic for large groups or couples. Pool and hottub are fantastic. Games room is well kept with a variety of games including pool and air hockey. Team penning and cattle sorting are fun activity based rides to try. The 'fast' rides feature anywhere from 3-10mins total of loping with the remainder being walking. The only ride that offers any jogging or trotting is the all day ride. The hilight for me was definitely their new obstacle course. The wrangler running it is experienced, and has a solid foundational horse knowledge he shares with the guests. It was the only time anyone talked about using the seat to influence the horse, how body language affects movement, using legs for steering, and the need to be able to influence your horse to have 3 different speeds within all the gaits. The obstacle course is well thought out and has challenges for any skill level rider. The lessons they offer in the arena while advertised as for any skill level are really only for beginner riders. Our group tried to take lessons twice and both times were extremely disappointed. Many of the wranglers teaching lack the experience to provide more than a pull to stop kick to go lesson. That being said, the ranch primarily caters to beginners and those seeking a 'taste of the west'. They could easily remedy this by having their obstacle course wrangler teach their less experienced wranglers how to teach as he was truly a highlight. Footing and conditions on rides is as expected for desert and desert mountain areas - sandy and rocky. The horses are VERY steady and know their jobs extremely well. Some of the wranglers and staff are more friendly than others but generally our large group had very few complaints with regard to staff and attitude. On the whole, for a very large dude ranch operation, the facility is clean, animals are adequately cared for, tack is in decent shape. Staff retention seems like it may be a problem as most of the wranglers had been there for 3 years or less but with desert heat and a very busy schedule burn out is likely an issue. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy all inclusive vacation who is looking to relax and enjoy. I would go back with my family and kids but likely not with an advanced group of adult riders looking for adventure / challenge unless they improved their lesson structure / added and incorporated more technical challenges (like the obstacle course). What they offer works very well for them and their main clientele and im grateful i got to experience a week on the ranch.

This was our first time at a ranch, and everything exceeded our expectations. The wranglers worked so hard and were so knowledgeable and professional. The horses are trained beautifully and treated well. The entire staff was a delight and always ready to help. The food was delicious, and there was something for everyone. I am so grateful to have had this experience with my family and try something new. We will be back!

This is my fifth year visiting the White Stallion Ranch!! It is my happy place! The accommodations are fantastic! The service whether it be in the dining room or going riding are amazing! This is not my last trip!! I will be back 😊❤️ Eileen
