We just left our 5 day trip to White Stallion. This is something we've wanted to do for years and finally did it!! I wish we'd gone sooner and I definitely want to do it again. We arrived on a Sunday evening and Jeff picked us up at the Tucson airport. Check in was easy and we were given a tour of the facility and told how the various programs worked. Our room was well furnished and clean. No television, but there was wifi, so if you have a tablet you could watch something on there. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. The grounds were absolutely beautiful. I felt like everywhere I looked there was something beautiful to see. The gardens are stunning. You'll see lots of lizards, jack rabbits, roaming cattle, and maybe a snake or two -we didn't see any rattlers, but did see a king snake. We got the full package - which included three meals, deserts, snacks and tea/lemonade/coffee/water throughout the day. We didn't have any alcohol, but it was there and purchased using the honor system if you wanted something. Looked like a pretty large selection of wine, liquor, beer and margaritas. There was also soft drinks and bottled water that you could purchase. You'll need the water, so bring a refillable bottle if you don't want to purchase it. We bought 33 bottles of water in 4.5 days! Breakfast was always good. They did a continental breakfast, plus a breakfast buffet, a daily breakfast special and some made to order items. We also did the breakfast horse ride, where you ride out on your horse and have breakfast in the desert. Lunch was a variety of cold-cuts, salads, and a hot entree or two. Dinner was buffet style with a choice of one to two entrees plus sides. I wasn't overly impressed with the meals. Nothing grand but decent enough. They had a lot of people to feed and were very organized about it and always had plenty for everyone. But when you're feeding that many people, don't expect gourmet meals. The desserts were really good though. They were accommodating - my husband doesn't like a lot of 'different' foods, so if he asked for plain ice cream that's what he got! The horseback riding was amazing! I highly recommend the lesson, which is not included in the price. But at $20 for an hour, it was affordable. We have ridden before, but it was nice to get some tips to make us more comfortable in the saddle. You should especially do the lesson if you're planning on a fast ride. We actually did the lessons twice. Gabe is awesome. Actually, ALL of the wranglers that we met really know what they're doing. They maintain safety, they're friendly, they take good care of their horses and they're always very attentive to the guests. Some who stood out were Harrison, Carol, Bella and Sophia (there were more, but I'm bad with names, so please know that you all made an impression). My horse for the week was Mesquite - they pair you with a horse that is yours to ride for the week, and you keep the same saddle during that time too so that you
