What riders say about Tucson stables
This is a dude ranch run by real horse people. The horses were pretty good and appeared well cared for. I expected the rodeo to be boring, but Russell True, one of the owners, can tell a good tale and I really enjoyed watching and learning. We tried team penning and it was very fun.
Great way to spend a Sunday morning. My family loved the trail ride. The ranch hands were awesome getting them setup. There are vendors selling various items plus food and drink. The lemonade I had was delicious.
I had such a wonderful Sunday morning ride at the Catalina Riding Club! From start to finish, everything was smooth, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable. Rose, the owner, was fantastic.
