About Houston's Horseback Riding
Houston's Horseback Riding is a family owned and operated outdoor equestrian facility on Tucson's northeast side. The business offers guided trail rides, horseback riding lessons, and a horse themed summer camp. Its setting near the Rincon Mountains provides access to trails in the Tanque Verde Wash and Saguaro National Park, giving riders a way to spend time on horseback in the Sonoran Desert.
The company describes its trail rides as an opportunity for an authentic horseback adventure. The surrounding trails stretch for miles, and each ride can offer a different experience. Riders may also encounter desert life along the way, adding a natural element to the outing without taking the focus away from the horses and the trail.
Houston's Horseback Riding welcomes riders with a wide range of ages and experience levels. The business specifically invites experienced riders, novices, children, and adults, reflecting its interest in sharing the world of horses with anyone who is interested. Its offerings include lessons for those learning to ride, guided trail tours for those looking to explore the area on horseback, and a summer camp centered on horses.
The business has been built and run by the Houston family since 1988. Its website describes the operation as having humble beginnings and emphasizes a welcoming approach at the ranch, where visitors are treated like old friends. That family connection remains part of how Houston's Horseback Riding presents its work, alongside its focus on making horseback riding accessible to people from different backgrounds and with different levels of familiarity around horses.
Riding is available by reservation only. Visitors can arrange a guided trail ride, inquire about lessons, or ask about the horse themed summer camp before arriving. The facility is located in Tucson near the Rincon Mountains, with trail access connected to the Tanque Verde Wash and Saguaro National Park. Depending on the selected offering, guests can expect time with the horses, instruction or guidance from the facility, and an outdoor experience shaped by Tucson's desert landscape.
