Spur Cross Stables is located on the site of an 1870's gold mine. A visit to the ranch gives visitors a chance to step away from the hectic hustle of the city and enjoy the quiet solitude of the Arizona desert on our trusty horses, guided by our very informative, professional wranglers. We offer scenic guided horseback rides on numerous trails, exceptional service, and reasonable rates. We also offer corporate and group horseback riding adventures. The ranch is located 4 miles north of the town of Cave Creek, on the edge of the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation area. Our rides take us into the scenic Sonoran Desert, and the foothills of the Tonto National Forest, where riders experience a virtually undisturbed wilderness environment. Spur Cross is home to over 30 horses, which came to us from a variety of circumstances. Many of the horses are rescued from owners unable to care for them, or those which may have been mistreated. They each are given a new home and the best treatment an animal deserves. We also offer Cave Creek horse boarding in a family environment. The owner lives on the property. We also have two barn managers to ensure your horse is properly tended to.
