We stayed here for a family event and I can't say enough positive things about both the ranch and the owners...Josh and Christina are the loveliest people...totally down to earth genuine humans and they have created a fantastic place to stay while also retaining much of the historic charm.

He was quite friendly and provided specific directions to the location. Google Maps will get you there. Signage is minimal so drive slowly so you don't miss the entrance. Upon arrival, we checked in and were paired with a horse. I had the pleasure of riding Gunsmoke. After a brief tutorial (left, right, stop, and go), we were ready to ride off into the sunset. Parts of the terrain were a bit rocky, which was a little intimidating, but Gunsmoke was able to navigate without any difficulty. Our guide was friendly and attentive. Definitely add TMS to your activity list if you're ever in the area! Our guide was super friendly and attentive.

We were quickly given an easy 1-2-3 of steering and handling the horse. I had the pleasure of riding atop of Romeo. The staff were pretty reserved and friendly. The ride was about 1.5 hours long thru a desert path. It was amazing to see the horses navigate in incline and descent rocky terrain. They would halt or slow down walking until they got good footing. Depending on the weather bringing sun shades, water, mask for dusk, proper attire would be recommended. However, I was not fully prepared. With that being said I still was ok without and had an amazing time anyway.

I contacted the ranch directly and their attention to my questions and assurances about traveling as a solo woman was what sold me. It was everything they said it would be and more. The ranch only accommodates a small number of guests so it is an intimate experience. Your happiness is the goal of the hosts; owners Ron & Trina Sirota and their manager Renee. This place is the real deal. It is no frills but comfortable with a focus on riding and an appreciation of the terrain and culture. The horses are happy and amazing. I am not a total beginner but I'm certainly not experienced so I appreciated the daily guidance and the subsequent lesson I took with Trina. I felt very safe in my little casita with a porch view of the beautiful land and grazing horses. This was a unique and memorable experience. A special shout out to Renee for everything!!! And a major thank you to Ron and Trina who really treat you like family and share their passion for the ranch. Can't wait to go back.
