Moab Horses Trail Rides

The Hauer Ranch has been a popular movie destination because of its classic American West landscape. Sandstone formations, towering cliffs, broad vistas and the Colorado River set the stage for the quintessential cowboy movie. Structures on the ranch have been made to look like Old West buildings, with classic board-and-batten materials and boardwalk porches.

Our standard half-day ride has folks in the saddle for two hours. Please arrive a few minutes prior to your ride time. For example, if your ride is at 9 a.m., please arrive about 8:50 a.m., and so on and so forth. You may be with us for at least two-and-a-half hours due to pre-ride tasks such as checking in, using the outhouse, listening to the safety orientation and getting fitted to your horse. Once you are aboard your horse, your ride will last about two hours.

Guests should bring their own water. We provide saddle bags for your belongings, and we do not allow backpacks unless they are personal hydration systems. We also do not allow drones, selfie sticks, alcoholic or carbonated beverages on the rides.

Beginners are welcome! Children as young as 7 can join our group rides but they must be able to confidently sit in the saddle by themselves. We do our best to accommodate people with special needs, but we want to be fully informed of any special needs PRIOR TO THE RIDE at the time you make your reservation.

We don’t allow people to ride double. We cannot take guests who weigh more than 225 pounds FULLY DRESSED, due to the physical health and endurance of our horses and mules.

To ensure riders’ safety, our group rides are walking rides only.

We can accommodate groups such as for family reunions or company retreats. If people want to guarantee they are in a small group, we urge them to book a private ride. Bear in mind that our group rides during busy times of year, such as spring break and summer, can be quite full. We provide at least one guide for groups up to 8 individuals in size. But for safety issues, when there are groups larger than 8, we have additional wranglers.

Standard price is $169 plus tax per person, for two or more persons.

• Two-hour private rides, $329 per person plus tax. Prices subject to change. Check our online booking platform.

Inquire about availability. Departure times and duration are negotiable.

All rides, whether private or group, are at a walk only. We no longer trot or canter the horses due to risk and liability concerns.
