    Bison

    ~TEAM PENNING TEAM BUILDING EVENT ONLY~ I was in town for a work event and part of that work event was a team building excursion to White Stallion Ranch. The invitation said enjoy team penning and I thought, sure, whatever that is. Over to google I go. I haven't been on a horse since 4-H camp... maybe in 4th grade. But YOLO, right? Since then I have also developed a fear of heights and some mild anxiety, but let's get on a 900 lb majestic animal to get over some of those irrational fears. I did feel better when most of the people joining me were also of minimal horse experience. Arrived in the morning for our event. We filled out a form so the team at White Stallion could best match us with a safe horse. I scored a beauty, his name is Bison. Got a little background on Bison and was then lead to the platform to easily get into the saddle. Got a quick tutorial and then once all of our riders were mounted, we got another tutorial. My aniexty subsided pretty quick, Bison was a badass needing minimal direction. The team at White Stallion were patient and informational, all of the ranchers were quick to help with pointers to get our horses going the correct way. We went through 3 rounds of penning and had a fabulous time. We were able to take pictures along the way. Once we were getting good and starting to move, we had completed our tasks and it was time to wrap up. The ranchers helped us off our horse and shared we could go to the bar to cool down or hang out (we had a second group that was going through penning after we were done.) There was so much to see at the Ranch, I would have loved to spend the night here. We loved our time on the horses. All horses and ranchers were safe and there were no issues. We bellied up to the honor bar, many choices on drink offerings. Beer, soda, juice, champs, wine, freshly made margaritas and if you were feeling good, a full panty of hard liquor. You filled out the little note pad with what you drank and paid at the front counter. Cute decor, lots of activities if you chose to stay inside. Puzzles, chess, game boards... There is a pool and also a gym. I missed visiting the gift shop, but heard it had a lot of fun stuff. I only got to see a fraction of what the Ranch has to offer, but I have already looked at booking a longer adventure here.

    Enjoying the desert scape.

    Our family (10 people) were at White Stallion over Christmas. The ranch and accommodations were western themed and very comfortable. Walking the grounds acquainted tou with desert scaping in a good way. They had a flora and fauna tour to intro you to different variety of vegetation. The food was good, healthy and plentiful. Breakfast could be continental, buffet, or by order. The pastries and desserts were amazing. There was a long list of activities to partake in. You could be as active or sedentary as you would choose to be. Staff was outstanding. They were very accommodating to requests be they diet or activity related, or answering questions. Smiling faces everywhere and a can do attitude. Dining was offered both indoors and out. We took advantage of both. My grandkids already want to know when we could come back. The horses were a hit, as was the shooting practice. Crafts were available, as were games and a library. Oh did I mention snacks during cocktail hour? Yum. Bar was honor system and reasonable prices. Wine was available by glass or by bottle. Lemonade, tea and water were always available. Town was close if you preferred items not stocked. For me the best part was time with family and spending quality time having fun. Electronics were not seen much as they were busy tackling new skills and being with your cousins at White Stallion....priceless.

    I have hardly any words. I am absolutely blown about by this ranch. This is an all inclusive resort. I've never been somewhere more that felt like being with a family. The staff are so friendly and genuine. Everyone was smiling, laughing and having a great time. The food was amazing! They have so many options to choose from and the desserts were delicious! There are so many fun activities on the ranch. You have archery, horseback riding, play pool, a basketball court, a pool, spa and hot tub, a petting zoo and more. There are horses that you can feed treats and just hang out with. The scenery around the ranch is beautiful. The ground are well maintained, the rooms are absolutely adorable. They look like old western cabins. I can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back someday

    10/10 Best place we have ever stayed. My boyfriend and I felt so free and relaxed. The resort itself is beautiful and the attention to detail is amazing. The staff is WONDERFUL, so helpful and accommodating. The room is so cozy and private, we were right next to the horses and hearing them in the morning is magical. We had the pool and jacuzzi to ourselves during the late hours and even got to hang out in there cute vintage style game room. Again, 10/10 would recommend even for not so western people like us this place will have you at peace and feeling so free.

    This place is amazing! Went back for our second trip this week and I'll be back again! They have great amenities, the meals are awesome, extra activities outside of riding and multiple different type of riding activities. The wranglers and people working here are also amazing and blast to be around. I miss it already!!

    Awesome experience! Dwayne and the others were very hospitable and made the trip a good time. We encountered a rattlesnake on the way back to the stables, as one does in the desert, and the horses responded amazing. I was able to lead Gunsmoke around the area where the snake was to avoid him being spooked as well. Horses very well trained and easy going. As someone who has never ridden a horse before, I felt very comfortable and confident the whole time!

    What a great place to vacation! I never saw myself going to a dude ranch but I am so glad I agreed to go on this adventure. It is such a well run ranch. Every employee was top notch, completely sweet and knowledgeable. I learned new skills and enjoyed different activities in the desert on horseback rides. One of my favorite vacations. My only criticism is room cleanliness. The beds need to be pulled out and cleaned all around, under the sink and mirrors need dusting. We spent the week with a cob web that had a dead fly in it. We named him Fred. Despite that, we had an absolutely amazing time and would definitely do it again. The horses we so sweet. I hated to leave them.

    Loved this place! This was my first experience at a Dude Ranch. We had airport pick up and drop off service. The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The scenery is beautiful and I got to see rabbits and different types of colorful birds ... as well as a small kings snake. All pretty cool. They have a cactus tree in front of the dining hall that attracts different types of birds. From my bedroom window I caught sight of humming birds and rabbits playing. The best and most important part... their horses are in great shape and their food is outstanding. I happily put on 2 lbs at the ranch (I needed them). I ate more than I needed to, but I could not resist. The service is incredible. Everyone is very nice. They have shows in the evenings and other fun activities like rock climbing, e-bikes, archery, leather workshop and horse show decorating. Spa, pool, and free treats for horses. I didn't care for the cattle sorting and penning, but I enjoyed the scenic and the fast rides. My only observation (not complaint) I feel there's always room for improvement, is that some of the activities I wanted to do (they have quite a variety but some didn't appeal to me) had conflicting times. So I found myself doing 1 or 2 activities per day... so the days went by sloooow for me. And seeing I had a lot of free time in my hands, decided to return home earlier. Some activities are good once, also with archery and cattle sorting, I didn't like waiting in line for my turn in a big group of people. That made it drag a little also. So I decided to just go on as many rides as possible since rising was my primary interest.

    The review is just for dinner... we live locally and went for the evening ! Had a great time! We got there a few minutes before cocktail hour so we could relax and enjoy a drink on the patio. There were people from England, Germany and France that we encountered ! The hosts are extremely friendly and explained to us how things worked. After cocktail hour we went toward the outside BBQ area and got in line to choose our meals. There was corn on the cob, salads, baked beans, bread, string beans, two seafoods, chicken and ribs! The only miss was the chicken which was like eating shoe leather. Dinner in the patio was fabulous, as it was a comfortable October evening! After dinner there was entertainment by a cowboy using his guns, ropes and whip. He was very good !

Thankfully, Tucson Mountain Stables came through and helped me get my horse time in with a beautiful sunset ride. Booking was easy, and when my friend and I arrived, the horses were already tacked up and ready to go. I rode Beast, a stunning Percheron cross with a great temperament, and my friend rode Romeo, a Navajo horse who was equally lovely. Both horses were steady, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable on the trail. The views were absolutely breathtaking--everything was still green, and riding through the west side of town offered a perspective you just don't get from a car. Peaceful, scenic, and a perfect way to wind down the day. Whether you're a local rider or just visiting, I highly recommend this experience. I'll definitely be back!

My saddle was leaning toward the left side. One of the guides tried to adjust it prior to leaving while I was still on the saddle so it wasn't as affective. Not being an experienced rider, I did not realize it was not adjusted correctly. The facility is a bit rough and the guide has only been riding for 4 months. There was very little information about safety, etc. I've been to one other horseback trail riding facility in Oro Valley and the experience was much better. It's a good deal but definitely very rustic (especially the port a potty "restroom").

We are both experienced riders and went with a group of people who had a variety of experience. The trail was on varied terrain, up hills and down into a small canyon, all in the beautiful Catalina State park. Our guide didn't talk too much and since it was couples she let us us talk amongst ourselves which was nice. She made sure everyone was having a good time and that the group was staying together. She also gave a little bit of history on one of the historical sites in the distance. The stables themselves are very nice and everything is really well taken care of. The horses are extremely well taken care of and are not overworked. They have shade when resting between rides and even a small snack. The owner lives on site and really cares about the comfort of her guests and makes sure you are given a horse to match your experience level. I can't wait to to go again, thank you Pusch Ridge!!!

It is such a treat to be around and ride the horses. We also went on great walks, hikes. They also have tons of activities I'd like to try next time, like pickleball, tennis, archery, fishing, etc. The pool area and Jacuzzi is so relaxing and beautiful. My husband loved the saloon, and it was a fun watering hole for happy hour. I was doing Dry January, and the bartender made me a tasty mocktail, and we met some nice people. The food was very good.

    This review is for Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, where I stayed for a local art retreat…read more Upon Arrival: The two front desk clerks were busy when I arrived, so Valorie who works up front offered to assist me. My room request was accommodated which I appreciated. Valorie gave me several documents to be aware of, including the list of events at the Ranch, costs and requirements. While I was going to be involved in the art retreat all day during my stay, to know these options existed was great and perhaps if I return I would take advantage of them. Be sure to get a map of the property so you can find your room and know where to park if you have a car! While buildings are marked, there are twists and turns on the roads into the property and within the property, so it is helpful to have a map you can use throughout your stay. Guest Room: Was clean upon arrival. There was an extra blanket in the closet which I appreciated since it got down to the 40's at night during my stay. The water in the shower came out nice and hot! There is a coffee pot with regular and decaf coffee stocked each day, iron and ironing board, a small mini fridge for beverages, a safe in the clothes closet, but no microwave. Therefore, for those of you who have gotten used to a microwave in the room, be aware the Ranch does not supply one, but there was coffee, hot water and tea in the restaurant building which you can access along with granola bars and fresh fruit. There was a fireplace in my room, but there was not any wood in the fireplace nor outside the room door. Because the fireplace was around the corner from the bedroom, I did not call the front desk to inquire about having a fire started or wood delivered because I prefer to have eyeballs on fire at all times and a fire would not have been in my sight had I gone to bed while it was still smoldering. Food: Considering the kitchen staff was serving a large number of people at the art retreat at the same time, they did a good job of getting the food out on time, items kept up with being supplied, and having the guests beverages brought to tables timely. Issue: There was a barbecue on Wednesday night which was a great idea with music and large pit fires going to keep us warm because it was chilly outside. But the outdoor temperature made it hard to keep the food warm and by the time we went through the food line and sat down at one of the picnic tables, the food was cold so we passed on this meal after realizing the food temperature issue (chicken, beef, ribs, mac and cheese, and beans). Grounds: There was a fairly decent rain storm a day prior to the Retreat arrival, which resulted in the horse barns, stable areas, and the cattle areas were soaked and muddy. This meant the manure was also being trampled into the mud. Therefore, the smell of manure permeated the Ranch until everything had a chance to dry out by the end of the week. The Ranch hands used machinery to pile up the waste to try to get it out from underneath the animals, but the smell was what it was due to the circumstances. I only bring it up to say, if you don't mind this odor or if you are going to be at the Ranch when rain is not in the forecast, this won't be an issue. But, it is a "Ranch" so some things mixed with mother nature, cannot be avoided! Overall, I found the grounds to be quiet. I heard the guests next to me coming and going when they slammed their room door, but otherwise, it was quiet, which I very much appreciated, since I went there for a personal art Retreat. Staff: The staff at the Ranch were all very pleasant and tried to make people happy. There are golf carts to get people where they are going, or for those who do not want to walk on the uneven surface or prefer not to walk for any reason. Staff tried to make the stay enjoyable. Memorable Issue: There was a power outage during our stay at 8:00 PM. Our group was in The Barn when this happened. Staff said this has never happened before. We were instructed to head to reception so we could be directed accordingly (guest rooms needing a fire for heat as an example). By the time we got to reception flash lights and lanterns for light were all distributed because there was a large group on-site. Therefore, one of the staff walked me back to my room with their cell phone light. When we got to my room I told him my phone flash light only had about 26% life remaining on it. A staff member came with a flash light about an hour later. I believe the Ranch would benefit from a disaster kit which is kept on-site with at least one flashlight per room (among other items) that can be distributed to guests. The electric came back on about 1:00 am, but it was a cold dark night with no heat with the outside temperature in the 40's that night in the dark. This brought my overall rating down to four stars as a result. Overall: This would be a great family vacation or to stay at if you love dude ranches and horses!

But when we are back in Tucson, you better believe we will ride with Catalina again and take the remote desert ride to experience more of that incredible Tucson charm. I'd also like to give a shout out to riding club owners, Rose and Bob, who were incredibly helpful and super responsive before, during and after booking. Not only were they awesome to work with in regards to finding a good day/time for our ride, and finding the right horse for each of us, but also so fantastic to offer up other activities for us to do while we were in Tucson. Our only issue with this experience... it had to end and that made us sad. We loved it so much and can't wait to ride again with Rose and Bob and their team of wranglers and horses at Cataline Riding Club! 100/10 recommend... so call them when you're in Tucson and get ready to enjoy the heck out of good people, great horses and amazing landscapes/vistas (and occassional cool critter or two)! :-)
