Why We Love This Unique Experience

Amarillo Experience Gifts: About a half hour southeast of Amarillo lies the picturesque Palo Duro Canyon, home to one of the most beautiful vistas in the Panhandle and the Los Cedros Ranch. A real working cattle ranch with Cowboys and Cowgirls, Los Cedros has opened their doors to share this beautiful landscape with you. Upon arrival, you will be matched with an American Quarter Horse based upon your level of horseback riding experience. Once saddled, you and the rest of the group will head out alongside of your guide on a gentle 40 minute trail ride of the beautiful thousand acre ranch, located on the rim of exquisite canyon. Whether you are looking for a unique gift for someone who dreamed of growing up to be a cowboy or cowgirl or for fun things to do while driving across Route 66, this hour long horseback riding experience is the ticket!

FAQ

Activity FAQs

Are there restrooms?

Yes, “outhouses” are available. We offer port-a-potties that have customized protection. They are better than a hole in the ground, but not as good as your Chevron station – after all, this is the country!

Can we feed the animals?

No, our horses and cattle need special dietary foods. If you are helping with “chores”, we will direct you for feeding the horses.  Wildlife – DEFINITELY NO FEEDING.

Can we take photographs?

Absolutely. We are very proud of the beauty of Texas and our rustic, western vistas, animals, and western folks!  Please feel free to document your visit with photographs. We just caution you to be safe taking photographs if you are riding a horse or are near a cliff.

Can we smoke?

NO! Due to extreme fire danger in West Texas, there is no smoking in any location.  Wildfires are real, life threatening, and devastating!  Don’t even ask for an exception to this rule!  If we see smoking, we politely ask it to be put out immediately! If you don’t, we throw a bucket of water on you.  (You’ve been warned.)

Are there weight limits for horseback riding?

Yes, 250 pounds.  

What if i don’t want to ride a horse, and i am with a horseback riding group?

We offer a beautiful location in the West. Our picnic area has chairs and a hammock with shade. You can hang out near the barn and photograph the horses.

Details & Important Info

Additional Experience Details & Important Information

Because all adventures are outdoors, please be aware we may have to change the agenda, postpone, change locations, or even cancel an event due to weather.

Wear appropriate shoes: Leather soled boots are preferred. If you are wearing tennis shoes, please make sure you have socks, and they are laced up. We are not fond of flat soled shoes (no heel definition) because they can slide through the stirrups. No open toe shoes, flip flops, or glove shoes. Footwear is very important for safety!

Wear long-sleeved shirt: Long sleeved, cotton shirts are preferred (like the cowboys wear). Fashion is not a big consideration on a Texas ranch. Long sleeves protect your arms from limbs and sunburn. Stretchy and thin fabrics are dangerous to wear if you are horseback riding through brush. Also, don’t forget a jacket if there is a chill in the air!

Wear pants: Denim jeans are highly preferred: Absolutely no shorts or capris when riding a horse.
