What riders say about Phoenix stables

Ponderosa Stables Inc

Our 3yr old daughter is obsessed with horses and has been begging to ride one. After calling around we found Ponderosa Stables. The person on the phone was incredibly polite and squeezed us into their busy Saturday schedule.

★★★★★ Jose, May 2026

Robinson Ranch

This place was so much fun. We are from California and Brought my kids to the Ranch for an early birthday celebration. The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable. The instructor answered every questions we had about horses.

★★★★★ Aura, Apr 2025

The 12th Street Ranch

2 of my children take lessons here, one of which is autistic. The trainers are knowledgeable and very patient and the students all seem to be able to keep up and learn quickly. The facility itself is great with a couple different arenas to ride in for different skill levels and styles of riding.
