White Stallion Ranch

Incredible family vacation and experience. Worth every penny, the entire family loved it all from start to finish. Will absolutely be back again

~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.

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

More a family location than a horse riding location. Food is top-notch. Rooms are particularly well done. Staff are very friendly. Lots of activities for keeping the little ones engaged. Riding times are limited. Group rides, in the mornings mainly, were enjoyable. First time at a Dude Ranch. If you're looking more for a couples experience, this would not be it.It's not a problem, but I found myself wanting for a quieter desert experience. Would definitely recommend for the family.

We had really been looking forward to this trip for a while. It's what our family chose for Spring Break, which was especially exciting for my daughters who love horses. The pros are it's all inclusive. There are a lot of activities to try. The food is decent and there is a nice variety for those with picky kids. The evening entertainment was mostly fun. We loved the critter show, but the campfire singalong was a bust, as the fire never got going and we all just sat in the dark for a bit. The biggest con for us was that my daughter didn't seem to have a consistent horse. She rode the same horse for three rides and was then suddenly told she couldn't ride that horse because she wasn't his rider. I was also put on two different horses (Titan and OhJo), but never told why. I was under the impression that you were assigned a horse (as their website states), but that didn't seem to be the case for us anyway. I emailed customer service and even brought it up to the front desk twice. First time, I mentioned that I get that they don't have enough horses for everyone, but it would have been nice for my daughter to know she wouldn't be allowed to ride the same horse consistently. They just kept telling me they try their best. Second time I brought it up, they said something was wrong with her horse (but there was another little boy riding it all week too, so I've no clue what happened). Again, that would have been nice to know. I eventually got a response to my email, in which they said they would reach out to me on Monday (it was Friday that I sent it). At the point I was home though and I didn't feel like dealing with it and I told them not to bother. So I guess my point is that if you have your heart on having a consistent horse for the week, make it very clear ahead of time. I was very happy for most of my trip, but my daughter was so upset about not being able to "ride her horse," that we won't be returning.

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.

The White Stallion exceeded my expectations, I'm going back for sure!What an experience, from the horse back rides to the night time sing along by the camp fire...Wow! Me and my 2 girlfriend had a blast. After riding, enjoying a massage in their spa, and swimming and soaking up the sun. The wine and cheese ride proved to be a hit, and we met people from all around the world. The wranglers were patient and fun, the food was awesome and happy hour was especially fun each day as we told tall tales of the days adventure. Go visit White Stallion, you wont regret it!

What a fun team outing! Started with a delicious BBQ lunch and then there was horse back riding and archery, followed by snacks and drinks. This is a family owned working ranch, here since 1965 and they have other locations throughout AZ and other states. Shane was our archery instructor and Rachel sort of headed up the coordination of food/drinks so they stand out but the entire staff was great and everyone took very good care of us. The dude ranch experience a first for me and our group really enjoyed the experience and the service.

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.

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!
