Horseback Riding at Circle Z Ranch
Riding on an endless variety of trails is the outstanding feature at the Circle Z Ranch. We offer rides twice daily. We give the horses a well deserved day off on Sunday's, so no riding that day. Once you've settled into your room, head on down to the corrals and get acquainted with the ranch's fine western horses. Gentle and well-bred, nearly all of them are sired and trained right on the ranch. With 80 head of horses to choose from, our ranch foreman is an expert at fitting the perfect horse for your needs. You will be with that same horse throughout your entire stay.
Experienced and friendly wranglers lead small groups of riders. You may choose rides for the morning, afternoon, or both, at the pace with which you are most comfortable. We offer walking rides, loping rides, and rides where you climb to high elevations. We can ride in all directions from the ranch on hundreds of miles of trails through private, state, and federal lands. Each ride lets you explore different landscapes - through colorful rock canyons, dramatic mountains, rolling range land, or along the refreshing and ever-flowing Sonoita Creek. Loping through the creek is a favorite on a hot afternoon. Enjoy any of the ranch's delightful and delicious cookouts rides at our chuck wagon site, a "saloon ride" into Patagonia for a glimpse of the old west, or a barbeque ride to our nearby Creek Ranch.
We have excellent facilities at the Creek Ranch for horse games. This setting has several arenas surrounded by large cottonwood and sycamore trees, offering up a perfect setting for an afternoon of barrel racing, pole bending, and team penning. Our wranglers will set the stage for a safe and fun experience for all abilities.
Children are welcome and will find ranch life a memorable experience. Riding is available for children who are at least six years old. Parents may be required to ride with children.
