Explore the City of Gilbert on the Back of a Horse

Whether you live in the Valley of the Sun or are just visiting, the best way to truly see the desert is on the back of a steed. Horses are well equipped to transverse the desert terrain, and horseback riding is as much a part of the history of the Phoenix area as the cactus and desert sands themselves. Phoenix and the surrounding suburbs, such as Gilbert, are full of prime equestrian real estate. Not only that, but there are numerous ranches and stables in the area that have horses you can rent for trail rides. There are even guided trail rides available in some of the area’s most beautiful places, such as the Superstition Mountains or the Tonto National Forest. You must not leave the Phoenix area without spending some time on the back of a horse.

Enjoy the Ultimate Equestrian Experience at the Kay El Bar Guest Ranch

The Kay El Bar Guest Ranch, which was founded in 1926, is the perfect place to enjoy a weekend retreat while experiencing the excellent area trail riding near Gilbert equestrian properties. This ranch is located about an hour from downtown Phoenix in Wickenburg, but the trip is well worth the time it takes to get to the ranch. This ranch has the ability to house 24 guests in authentic adobe dwellings on the perimeter of the property. Here you can spend the night with someone you love, and then wake up in the morning for an exhilarating ride through the mountains and foothills that surround the Hassayampa River. Guests at Kay El Bar can even enjoy a cattle sorting experience!

Enjoy a Variety of Riding Experiences at Spur Cross Stables

Spur Cross Stables, located in Cave Creek, is another choice that you have when looking for guided trail rides. This ranch sits on the site of an abandoned gold mine, which makes the location rich in history. You can enjoy rides of varying lengths, up to one full day, at all times of the day.

You can even create a customized riding experience for yourself and your friends. In the summer you can venture from your Gilbert equestrian real estate and take a sunset ride to experience the beauty of the Arizona sunsets. If you enjoy history, you may want to take the five- to six-hour long petroglyph ride. You can also enjoy a wilderness experience in the Tonto National Forest with this ranch.

Spend a Day on Horseback with Windwalker Expeditions

Also in Cave Creek, Windwalker Expeditions gives you the chance to spend an entire day riding through the desert. Consider taking the Desert Botanical Tour, a two- to four-hour tour that takes you through the desert, past wildlife and into the mountains to enjoy the views. The Seven Springs Tour goes through the Tonto National Forest, taking you through several water crossings and past some breathtaking vistas.

Those who are experienced riders can enjoy the two extreme riding adventures. Endurance Rides feature a faster pace than the other rides. The Full Day Wilderness Experience is the chance to customize your ride and explore the area beyond horse friendly properties in Gilbert.
