White Stallion Ranch owns one of the largest private herds of horses in Arizona. Our extensive riding program accommodates the experienced horse owner, the “first-time” rider and all riders in between.  Each rider is carefully matched with a horse based on their experience, height, weight and riding ambitions.

We offer a wide choice of rides every day except SUNDAY, which is always the horses’ day off.

Children 8 years and older may qualify for our fast rides, mountain rides and all day rides. Children between 5 and 8 years will enjoy our slow rides. Children under 5 may experience the thrill of riding on a safe and comfortable lead line ride guided by  one of our staff.

Hiking

White Stallion Ranch

Our Tucson Mountain backdrop and border with Saguaro National Park makes White Stallion Ranch a supreme location for high desert hiking.

We offer several guided hikes weekly: from a family-friendly, informative, nature walk to increasingly challenging hikes up Mesa Vista and to the top of Panther Peak.  Guests may hike without our guides, directions and suggestions are available at the Front Desk and from our guides.

Travel with us to the Saguaro National Park for the King’s Canyon Hike, featuring ancient Native American petroglyphs.  We access this ancient form of communication via a well-maintained trail, appropriate for families and novice hikers.   The petroglyphs are attributed to the Hohokam Indians, who inhabited this area from 250 through 1450 A.D. There are some stairs to climb on the way in, but this a great intergenerational family hike – complete with a picnic table and bathroom available.

This trail is also the most direct route to reach Wasson’s Peak – the highest summit (4,687 ft) of the Tucson Mountains. Hikers may take the old mining road that follows King’s Canyon or hike up the Canyon along the wash. Depending on the route chosen, there are two locations with petroglyphs along the way. Hiking boots are recommended, expect to spend 3 – 3.5 hours on this hike.

Our Nature Walk introduces you to the flora, fauna, and geology of the Sonoran Desert. This is an easy, flat hike appropriate for all ages interested in learning about our unique desert surroundings. Questions and discussions are encouraged. Duration 1 – 2 hours, no hiking boots required, although closed-toe shoes are a must for your comfort and safety.

Mesa Vista Hike is an intermediate level hike with a focus on geology, history, and the formation of the mountains. There will be some off-trail hiking. The views are incredible, taking in the ranch, Picacho Peak,  Mt. Lemmon, the Tucson Basin, and the Rincon Mountains.  It is a 3-hour adventure, and hiking boots are recommended.

The Panther Peak Hike will dramatically change your perspective of the ranch and several miles beyond. This is our most challenging hike and will take approximately 4 hours to complete. It is a 2-hour uphill climb that gains over 1300′ feet in elevation and has steeper inclines than any of our other hikes. Panther Peak is not recommended for children under 10 years old. Hiking boots are recommended.

Shooting Range

White Stallion Ranch

You will shoot authentic reproduction Western Style Guns. All shooting is done onsite at the ranch’s private shooting range.

Choose from our 22 caliber  Henry Yellow Boy rifles and Ruger Single Action pistols, 45 caliber Black Powder Hawken percussion rifles  (extra charge),  a replica of the Winchester 73 Rifle from the Movie of the same name (only one in existence) and replicas of  Wyatt Earp’s and Doc Holiday’s pistols.

Using small caliber rifles and pistols with very little recoil, you can comfortably practice your skills on the steel reactive targets. These reactive targets let you know you’ve hit the mark by flipping, moving or making noise.  A dueling shooting tree is used for competitive shooting  – leaving no doubt as to who earned the bragging rights as “Top Shot.”

Minimum age for .22 shooting is 8 years old

Included in the Adventure package or a la carte for $55

Black powder rifles were used by Mountain Men and Pioneers to tame the West in the early 1800’s. Now you can try our black powder percussion .50 caliber Hawken rifles. Learn how to load the powder and ball (by pouring and ramming it down the muzzle) and experience the power of these historically accurate firearms.

Minimum age 14 years old

Included in Adventure Package or $55 a la carté

Shooting .45 caliber firearms offers a very special opportunity to try some of the most famous guns of the West:

Winchester 73 (rifle)  Colt Peacemaker (pistol)  Coach Gun (double barrel shotgun)

this activity is not included in the Adventure Package – and is available at an addition cost of $75

minimum age 14 years old

Fat Tire Bikes

White Stallion Ranch

Now you can travel the Ranch on one of our Radpower E-Bikes. E-Bikes are great equalizers as you can use as much or as little pedal assist as you want. Beginner and Intermediate trails. All tours are Guided. It’s a brand new way to see the Ranch at your own speed.

White Stallion Ranch Rock Climbing Experience

White Stallion Ranch Rock Climbing“On a recent mom-daughter trip to Tucson, my middle-school daughter had the opportunity to climb with Wade.  She was a bit apprehensive for her first outdoor climbing experience and wanted to bail.  Wade put her at ease immediately, encouraging her and coaching her through.  The explanations were more informative than I ever received when I was younger and as a parent, I was appreciative of the emphasis on safety all around.  We both look forward to going back and bringing friends.  Thanks Wade! “
