Of all of the experiences I’ve had on horseback, this has got to be my favorite. I ride hunter/jumpers locally, and I loved this ride. It was the best trail experience anywhere, hands down (and I have had the chance to trail ride in a number of different countries). This is a great way to see scenic Tucson while doing some real riding, as an alternative to the (dare I say boring) nose-to-tail tourist type of trail rides that you would find elsewhere. Brad and Caroline will show you the real deal. If you have previous riding experience, don’t even think about going anywhere else but with Cowan Horse Adventures. They trailer to the locations, so you know they’re proactively taking you to the best spots, not just sending you out for ride behind the stable. Even if you are from Tucson and/or ride locally, you need to come out and ride with the Cowans just to experience some fun in the mountains on a level-headed horse. (I appreciate the fact that they only take people who have ridden before, because that tells you that they are taking you on a more interesting ride. The Cowans will make sure you have a great ride that you will remember for years to come. I’ve tried trail rides elsewhere in Tucson, but it was all boring compared to this. This is the best trail riding experience I’ve had to date.
