Horses at Catalina Riding Club

Our Story

About Catalina Riding Club

Catalina Riding Club was born from a deep passion for horses and a love for the stunning Sonoran Desert. For over two decades, we've been sharing the beauty of Tucson's desert landscape with riders from all over the world.

What started as a small family operation has grown into one of Tucson's most beloved horseback riding experiences. Our experienced guides know every trail, every hidden canyon, and every perfect spot to watch the sunset paint the Catalina Mountains in gold and purple.

We believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the magic of riding through the desert. That's why we carefully select and train our horses to be gentle, patient, and perfect for riders of all experience levels — from complete beginners to seasoned equestrians.
