This experience is on hold through the summer in Tucson. More dates will be added at the end of September. If you are interested in booking one on a particular date after October 5th, 2022, message me and we can set it up.
This is a PRIVATE experience designed for one person at a time. I cannot do 2 people at the same time for the time being. Message me for another option.
Your “Three Hour Equine Experience at Tucson's China Cabinet Ranch” starts right after introductions and a brief talk ab
out your experience and goals with horses and questions or concerns you may have. Half of the experience is instructional: learning how to catch, halter, lead and tie up a horse. Next we will groom (including cleaning the feet) and saddle, even bridling if you feel up to it. Then, you will mount up (from ground or mounting block) and get comfortable at the walk, learning how to stop, turn, back, and possibly trot a horse in my 60’ round pen.
The amount of lesson time depends on the rider. Once you are comfortable, we will finish your experience with a guided trail ride in Saguaro National Park during which time you can ask anything you want about horses; I have 35+ years of experience. I will take several pictures of you among the saguaros along the mountains. I'm a CHA Level 2 Western Instructor and EAGALA trained facilitator for equine therapy. My main job is a professional wrangler.
