    Bison
    Brooke R.

    ~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!!

    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.

    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!

    I stayed at the ranch for a program that I was attending. It was just amazing throughout the 5 days that I spent there. The service top notch, super-friendly and helpful, and always available when needed. I wasn't able to take part in many activities due to the program, but I enjoyed the horseback riding every morning and the efficient way they handled getting everyone on the horses, and the excellent care of the wranglers as we went along the trails. In fact, all of the wranglers were super-polite, friendly, and always helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, well-decorated, and the air-con and fan worked. I loved the heavy shutters which can be opened at night to let the cool air in, and closed to keep the conditioned air in.

    The tree that brings all the birds to the yard

    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.

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.

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.

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.

Went here for a family reunion and everyone had a blast. We had a big group with kids and teens up to grandparents. I loved the rooms and furnishing. Bed and chairs all super comfy and sturdy. The activities were all fun and the folks running the activities really seemed happy and helpful. One caveat is some guests seemed to have unrealistic expectations of the activities and their abilities. For instance a lot of people didn't qualify for the lope ride and probably shouldnt have qualified for safety reasons but still seemed upset about it. My kids were too old for the kids club but the kids who were in that program looked to be having an awesome time! It is great to have that option on a place like this. Couple things they could improve on: The online activity signup clunky to the point of barely functional. Everyone, even small kids had to create separate accounts -- i even called to confirm this and was told to reuse emails and phone numbers. A 9 year old doesn't need their own account. One member of our group just gave up on signup and showed up for events. Also you need to have everything signed up for by 8 pm the night before but there is no easy way to cancel and no penalty for not showing up -- so when activities start there is usually space but you have to wait until the no shows don't show. Bathrooms in some rooms were quite small. The toilet in my sisters room i think was built for a child. The food included with the rooms was good but not great. The al a carte menu was better but quite pricey. Also service in restaurant seemed good not great. We would have to flag down a waitress and several times they would say no problem and scurry off to fulfill our request, when others at the table also had requests. Also some of the staff could use some more training. They are clearly reaching for a luxury travel experience but check in, communication and questions seemed to lead to different answers from different people. For instance when the folks before us were checking in they were asked what time they wanted to come to breakfast, while we were told to call 1 hour before coming down -- frankly i dont really want to do either and would like to just show up for the breakfast thats included in price. The staff was all very nice but a bit more training and organization is needed. But none of the issues really affected our trip and as a whole great time and I would definitely return.

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. We were there for Friday prime rib night, which was awesome, and loved the salad and soup bar. Looking forward to our next trip and hope to bring more family or friends next time!
