About
The stable is described as “family owned and operated for over 20 years by Darren Haman and daughter Sedona.” It emphasizes guided experiences with trained staff and accommodates beginners through advanced riders. No prior experience is required to book a ride. For attire, jeans are acceptable and boots are preferred over tennis shoes. The operation rides by reservation only, so visitors are asked to arrange their rides in advance rather than arriving as walk-ins.
