Trailhead Ranch

We chose Trailhead ranch to do a sunset 1.5 hour trail ride while we were in Arizona over the weekend and we are so glad we did! We rode Molly and Bodie and they were both the sweetest, most gentle horses. It was obvious they were very well taken care of. Russ was wonderful and took the time to get to know us both on our ride. As someone who has been taking riding lessons twice a week back home for a while, he even took the time to see where I’m at and what I’ve been working on and gave us some super cool facts about the plants and the desert that we were riding through.

The sunset was absolutely gorgeous and our overall experience was beyond wonderful. Definitely recommend. We will definitely choose you again Russ anytime we are in the area!

Russ and Hannah were excellent guides on our personal 1.5 hour ride with me and my son. They were very knowledgeable about the area and they made sure that the ride was enjoyable for us AND the horses.
Stormy helped me into the saddle before we began and she made sure I was comfortable and provided me with riding tips and answered all of my questions.
Russ and Hannah were giving us verbal cues throughout the ride to ensure that we were being safe and kind to the animals.
This was my first time riding a horse and I felt very comfortable! Everyone here was amazing and I can’t say enough good things about Russ and his staff and the horses. They all love what they do and it made the whole experience very enjoyable.
My son and I decided that we will make it a tradition to visit Trailhead Ranch whenever I come to Phoenix to visit him!

Russ is an excellent guide!! He knows horses and cares about horses. They were all healthy, happy and very well taken care of. I had a wonderful trail ride through awesome desert terrain. It was such a unique experience. My horse was beautiful, sweet, smart and the perfect match for my skill level. Russ did a wonderful job of guiding me through the ride, and had interesting stories and information about the area. I would ride here again in a heartbeat and hope I get to do so!

My son and I had the best time riding in Cave Creek with Russ and company. Russ is so kind, inviting and he absolutely loves his animals and provides such an amazing establishment. We conversed the entire time which made the scenery even more beautiful. We learned the history of the land and where his passion derived from. This was my first time riding and my son has ridden Sammy before. I rode Quill and he is such a sweetheart, I felt safe the whole ride. I can hardly wait to come back to visit the ranch. Thank you so much for the nostalgic sunset ride. It was a truly remarkable experience.

This probably was one of the best trail rides my daughter and I have ever been on and we ride once a year in Wisconsin and have ridden in South Dakota as well. We got a private ride for her 18th birthday, which was awesome! We could tell these horses are well taken care of-all very clean, manes untangled and beautiful, plenty of water for all the horses, the horses weren't even dusty! Stormy was an excellent guide!
