What riders say about Joshua Tree stables

Cascade Trails Mustang Sanctuary

Incredible horseback riding experience with Chris and Marissa. We did the sunset horseback ride which was fun and an amazing way to end the day. All of the horses are so gentle, well mannered, and a very safe experience. They rescue these mustangs from the wild and find new homes for them.

Mountain View Ranch

I loved this place. This is family operated and owned. The owner was so sweet and gave us horse back riding lessons, plus we were there to film a short film and helped us with putting horses in our film. She took us on trail rides as well. They are the best!
