We happened upon this ranch while hiking at South Mountain and the wranglers are so fun, helpful, and clearly have a passion for their job. It was my husband and I's first time riding (we're city folks from Chicago) and they made us very comfortable. The trail ride was gorgeous and the wranglers were very well versed in the area offering fun facts and history. They made sure everyone kept up and were safe. 10/10 had an amazing experience and would absolutely go again. Definitely recommend pants, a hat, and plenty of water!!

We did the evening sunset ride, stopping off at the T bone steak restaurant. It was absolutely brilliant, we really enjoyed the experience, almost surreal to be in a landscape like that. Ty and Eddie were fantastic guides and really looked after us. Definitely recommend!

Do you cantor or Gallup at all during the ride?

Adam Dreier | Oct 20, 2019
EasyDoesIt Biggirl | Oct 20, 2019

No it is walking only. Because it is a state park and there was no galloping of horses in state parks. There are severe fines involved.

Ponderosa Stables Inc | Oct 20, 2018

You can feed them carrots, they love that.

since the site doesn’t allow next day reservations, are we able to call and make a same-day reservation?

Lilyann Hoang | Nov 23, 2021
Colleen Michaels | Nov 23, 2021

Call and you can make next day reservations.

May I know the Prices?

Allen Mitchell Gardner | Nov 23, 2021
michelle qualin | Nov 23, 2021

They are posted on their website. We paid 50 dollars apiece for a one hour guided trail ride. Please note: Wranglers are all volunteers, so the only way for them to make some money is from your generous tip! (Well deserved!!!)

Im interested. Took me too long to ride a horse because im shy that i dont know how to. Do you guys take first timers?

There is an equestrian center on either 7th ave or 7th street in the North Valley, I'm not sure of the name, but Google should be able to locate it using Equestrian or Riding Stable. Good luck.

Are their weight restrictions for riders?

Kristin Anderson | Oct 20, 2018
Lady Phx | Oct 20, 2018

Go to their web site, they have a drop down to weight restriction, which states 300 lbs. But it also states that it is rare for them to not try to accommodate people.

Ponderosa Stables Inc | Oct 20, 2018

In the winter months which is busy for us we would like to have them a day or two so we can get your time and day reserved for you. In the summer you can call a day in advance or even same day.
