Story By LA Berry
Arizona is ranked one of the top 10 places to visit in America and its Office of Tourism unabashedly credits its magnificent natural beauty with making tourism the state’s number one export industry.

How awesome would it be to see such Old West wonders from atop a horse?
Curated experien�al trip experts like Ac�ve Riding Trips -- which doesn’t offer a horseback riding tour that president Stacey Adams hasn’t personally tried out first -- knows how popular Arizona is as a des�na�on for families, couples, or solo explorers, reflected in three unique western experiences.
This legendary ranch is truly an Arizona institution. For more than half a century it has been run by the same family, going back three generations, and it’s easy to see why. The authenticity and quality of the rides and service at White Stallion Ranch is legendary within the tourism industry.
“I really do not know where to begin to describe one of the best trips of my riding life,” says Sharon W., who chose a trip to White Stallion Ranch. “The trip was geared to exactly what we were looking for in terms of time, location, experience and interest. Stacey met with us to get to know exactly what we were looking for and couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot. White Stallion is geared toward everyone’s ability. The food, the accommodations and the customer service were top notch. People from all over the world came and we made so many friendships.
“I noticed many ‘frequent fliers’ who come year after year. That says so much about the ranch.” White Stallion Ranch sits on 3,000 acres and is built around the horse. Whether it’s riding, doing cattle work, or exploring the mountains, there are ample choices to keep you busy during your stay. Plus it’s perfect for families that want to get away with members that may not ride “as much.” The ranch sports 43 rooms and has such non-riding activities as certified rock climbing from 5.3 to 5.12 in difficulty, fat tire bike riding in the desert, hiking, archery, shooting, and tennis. Or just relax by the pool or campfire. There is also a weekly ranch rodeo and nightly entertainment.
