The experienced Hauer Ranch wranglers use their knowledge of the area to guide you on a personalized horse ride rich in local history and folklore. We hope our guests will have the most enjoyable commercial trail ride they could ever hope to have.
John and Sena Hauer launched the trail ride business in 2010. Their shared passion of horses, mules and the Moab area was an ideal platform to host thousands of guests from all around the world. Although John passed in 2024 at the age of 89 (having taken his last ride at the age of 88!) Sena continues to run the business with the help of other wranglers.
Sena Taylor Hauer
Sena has been a horse lover since she was a baby. Her first horse was a gift from Santa when she was one year old. That mighty beast was made of plastic and was suspended by springs from a metal frame. Sena is a 5th-generation Moab resident whose professional training is in community newspaper journalism. The Moab Times-Independent newspaper was owned by the Taylor family for more than 100 years and continues to operate under The Salt Lake Tribune management. Sena enjoys both writing and riding.
Guest Reviews
Definitely worth the drive! This was a great trail ride. Very friendly staff (and dogs!), gorgeous scenery, and interesting narration by Trace, describing the many movies made in the area! My husband said his horse was the best he’d ever ridden on a trail ride and my horse was gorgeous (but did need a firm hand!). I would do another ride with these folks in a heartbeat.
5 stars all the way!! If you are visiting Moab then Hauer Ranch is a must on your itinerary. We were lucky enough to have John and Sena as our trail guides and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our private ride. Not only was the ride informative but you’ll get some of the best scenery around. Sena was very accommodating with our last minute booking. I’m already planning a second visit. Thank you for a great experience!!
Highlight of our trip! Gorgeous trail. Coming from NYC, this was an experience that we’ll truly never forget. Can’t recommend it enough.
