Joanne (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Excellent | Excellent

Tina (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Perfect holiday for your none riding partner to join you | They have set rides going out at 9am, 11am and 3pm. The 9am and 3pm are classed as slow rides and that means walk only. They have none riders too. The 11am is down as a fast ride and includes trot and loping.
The rides are predominantly 1 hour long and all are nose to tail kind of rides. We got told to stay in a line. They did do a 2 hour ride on 1 of the days, which is a walk only ride. Apart from the ride into Tombstone , which is a half day ride, all the rides go over the land immediately surrounding the ranch which can get a little monotonous as you can't really get far doing a 1 hour circular route and the rides kind of cross the same same terrain as previous rides .Having been on working ranch holidays previously, I personally found the riding a little tame and the terrain not very challenging. Even as riders you are not allowed to mount or dismount without one of the wranglers holding your horse. This was my first 'dude' ranch and I feel its ideal to go with your partner or children to have a little ride etc or if your happy to ride single file and tootle around . As we were all inclusive we could sign up to every ride if we wanted. Initially we had our name down for every ride each day but crossed our names off the lists for some of them as it became a little 'same old'. My horse was lovely . Most of them are rescues which is nice to hear. All of the horses on our rides were well behaved and the wranglers are quite chatty.

Paul who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. A fantastically friendly ranch | Riding through the Sanoran desert is a beautiful experience, supported by friendly and knowledgeable Wranglers. The history of the town of Tombstone is fascinating and the history rides bring it to life.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your return visit to the ranch.]

Paul who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. What a fantastic holiday! | The ranch was extremely well run and the staff were all extremely helpful.
The horses were all very well trained and are super easy to ride, real confidence giving horses for beginners.
The variety of trail rides was excellent and the wranglers management and supervision of the rides was superb.
