My husband and I decided to take a break from our birdwatching trip to Arizona to experience the Sonoran Desert on horseback. It's a great way to see everything because you sit up high, and it's faster than trying to hike it yourself. The desert was blooming and very pretty. The saguaro cactus is plentiful here, and Bobbi and Sue... More

What a wonderful time we had with this great group of people led by owner Bobbi Houston. THIS is how you want to get out and see the desert landscape. My husband and I still are talking about how much fun the 2 hour ride was. It was the best time out of our entire trip! Afterwards, we thoroughly enjoyed... More

The horses were great, the trail was scenic, the ride was tailored to us (allowing us to pick up the pace occaisionally and not do the typical snails-pace trail ride), and the owner (who was also our wrangler) was extremely knowledgable about all of the vegetation along the trail. It was a little pricey, but then again, my boyfriend and... More

We enjoyed a two hour ride through the National Monument. Breathtaking scenery! Even though we have lived here in Tucson for 10+ years, we learned many new things about the various cacti and desert plant life and experienced desert and mountain views like never before! Our guide, Bobbi was attentive to everyone's needs, My son is 7 and not an... More

My partner and I called about riding and even though we were the only two there Cory took us out for a sunset ride. Beautiful, fun, educational, and adventurous. Cory was really great and engaging. Her knowledge and conversation kept the ride so interesting that the two plus hours seemed like just minutes. I highly recommend this business for their... More

Over the past five years we have booked our novice and experienced horsebackriding guests with Bobbi Houston. It's always fun to hike but to see the Sonoran desert from the back of horse is totally awesome. We had gals from CA, grandkids from IL and OH ranging from 5-16 yrs, and of course Grandma Kathy had to join because she... More

We took what was supposed to be a two hour ride with Houston's in early April. My six year old got tired so Ryan was nice enough to split us off from the rest of the group and took us back a bit early. The horses were very well-behaved and now my sons will probably be too confident on their... More

As a snowbird who winters in Tucson and who has ridden with a small group at Houston's Horseback Riding for four years, I was very surprised to read Traveler 3406's February 27 negative review. I grew up with horses and have ridden on and off most of my life, and I have ridden many of Bobbi's wonderful, well-cared for horses.... More

A wonderful family run ranch with lots of charm! A great way to enjoy a slice of western culture and desert wildlife. Ryanne, our guide, was very good with my excited little boy; and his horse, Raisin, was a gentle giant. : ) What fun! And...if you are considering the evening ride with the BBQ... the food was good and... More
