We went on a beautiful, sunny day in late February. There were 3 of us. My husband, my 26 year old autistic son and myself. My son was lead with by a wonderful lady who chatted with him and guided him the entire hour we were out. She was absolutely wonderful with him! 😍 My husband and I are on the hefty side and had two amazing work horses to accommodate us and we got on and off with ease as we are also close to 60. The scenery was stunning on our relaxing ride and it went all too quickly. We will plan on another ride with then again when we return next winter. Highly recommend booking a beautiful ride with them! 🤩

Reviews
I’ve rode at guest ranches across the Western US. I can truly state the Double R is at the top.
ACCOMMODATIONS A+. The casitas are gorgeous, nothing like I’ve stayed in anywhere else. Includes nice sitting room, full kitchen, plus very large bedrooms and full baths
DINING A. Every meal was very good. Wholesome food served piping hot. Kudos to Chef Karen, if you’re lucky, you might get her beef Wellington.
STAFF A+. Everyone from owners Ron and Trina (owners) to Wil, my wrangler were WONDERFUL. I so enjoyed riding with Wil. Have to give a shout out to Renee from Wisconsin— same name and home state as my wife.
HORSES A+++. The entire string is excellent. Well broke and responsive. Haven’t rode better
LOCATION A+ Located in the beautiful Sonoita valley adjacent to thousands of acres of State and Federal land. Quiet, scenic, and best of all, only 75 miles from Tuscon.
You will not regret a visit to this great facillity.
Happy Trails
My husband and I recently went on a sunset ride led by Michael! He was very kind, funny, and friendly! We first met Renee who introduced us to our horses and we were able to brush them so we could get to know them better! Renee then helped us tack up the horses, and she’s also such a kind soul. We had such a great time, beautiful views and we were also able to get some pictures curtesy of Michael!
