White Stallion Ranch is a traditional dude ranch located in Tucson, Arizona that has been owned and operated by the True family for over fifty years. Nestled at the base of the beautiful Tucson Mountains on 3,000 acres of pristine Sonoran Desert you will be surrounded by rugged mountains, cactus and unspoiled desert. With several different rides to choose from first-time trailblazers to life-long riders will have ample time to enjoy the beauty of the desert from atop a horse. The True family has one of the largest privately owned herds in Arizona which means they have the right horse for every guest.
White Stallion Ranch offers activities for guests of all
ages and interests aside from riding such as hiking or spending the day
visiting local attractions like the Saguaro National Park, hot-air ballooning,
or golfing. After dinner guests gather around a roaring bonfire under a
star-studded sky while listening to the melodic strumming of a guitar
complemented by cowboy songs. Large telescopes are available for those who
would like to learn more about the sky above. There is also line dancing
lessons, nature and animal programs, watercolor classes (with their resident
artist Ute Vaughn) and Loop Rawlins’ Wild West Show of Trick Roping, Whip
Cracking & Gun Spinning.
For guests who have always wanted to experience a real western rodeo every Wednesday (weather permitting) the ranch puts on an Exhibition Rodeo to entertain and educate visitors. The opening ceremony is a patriotic demonstration of the American flag set to music, followed by a presentation of flags that represent each guest's country. How cool is that?
The ranch’s wranglers, family and friends get together each
week to compete in team roping, barrel racing, break-a-way roping and the
occasional bull-dogging. While guests are seated comfortably in the bleachers, Russell
True from atop a horse explains the skills required for each event, comparting
the history and methods of scoring as well as plenty of colorful rodeo stories
to entertain all who are present.
The True family has been “rodeoing” for almost 50 years now
and it has become a family tradition that has been passed down from generation
to generation. You won’t find a better place to see and hear firsthand what it
takes to ride in a rodeo while gaining a greater understanding of the cowboy
way of life.
So if you have ever wanted to experience a real western
rodeo as well as stay at a traditional dude ranch White Stallion Ranch is the
vacation choice for you.
Happy Trails!
