White Tank Stables

The owner of this place is named jim peterman. He is really unscrupulous. His horses are under nourished and he has been evicted from other locations. He has a terrible reputation in the horseback riding industry for sending out sore horses, and not paying his help.
There are some really good riding stables in Arizona.
I highly advise against giving this guy any business.
The old reviews are good and are from previous owner and wranglers.

NO! Unfortunately, I’m giving 0 stars as I found that the owners are very unprofessional and have no regard to their customers when it comes to an emergency situations…9/11/15 Myself, husband, and my two small children under the age of 8 decided to take the sunset tour. When we first arrived there I was skeptical because I noticed that one of the horses were a little jumpy and kept swinging her head back and forth. The tour guide assured us that she does that a lot and she is fine. He said she’s perfect for children and not to worry… we decided to continue. Throughout the entire ride the horses seemed to be irritable with each other. The last 20 minutes of the tour, my horse threw me off and kicked the back of My thigh leaving me unconscious!** my husband stated that he jumped off his horse to help me while my 7 year Old daughters horse backed her up against a cactus, and my 8 year old sons horse ran off with him. The tour guide stood there in shock doing nothing and had NO emergency precautions!. I remained in and out of conscious as my husband saved our children! My body went into shock. I lost my eye site, hearing, and I couldn’t feel my leg. I tried to stay awake but I couldn’t …all’ I could faintly hear is my husband yelling for help and telling me not to go to sleep. my kids were crying. Keep in mind that it was daughters 7^th birthday! The emergency rescue fighter fighters came and carried me off the mountain. Keep in mind by this time is 9pm, pitch dark. I had been laying on the mountain for at 1 least hour before help arrived!!! Still dizzy and couldn’t walk… The owner called the next morning and advised that If I seek any addition medical attention and my situation worsen, to call him asap. I save his number and said ok. I told him thst I still can not walk but I’m conscious now. Apx 5 days later I called him to advise that I received the evacuation bill of $ 600 and asked if they will pay the bill? He flat out so NO and that they are not responsible for me getting hurt. my husband grabbed the phone to speak with him. he hung up on my husband and has not answered any of our calls since .WOW… with that being said, they are leaving us with no choice … we tried to give them the opportunity to do what’s right but they have not… Now I sit her with lumps on my leg and bruising, neck and back pain and unable to sit up for more than 2 hours without pain killers and medical expenses. No to this place*

My wife and I visited Scottsdale from California to celebrate our 1yr anniversary. I researched a bunch of stables in the area and I went with white tank stables and im so glad I did. The price was on point, the view was amazing, the horses were great, and the tour guide James was great. My wife and I rode sunny boy and sundance. It was our first tinge riding horses and James made it as easy as 1−2−3. He wad absolutely hilarious the whole way. Very informative and had a great sense of humor. He made the trail more fun. We highly recommend that you take a bottle half full and frozen topped off with water. It gets really hot, really quick. If your interested in having a good time riding some horses, I would highly recommend going here.

We had a great time riding today. My 7 year old daughter had a blast and loved being up front near the fun, blonde wrangler! I was nervous that a 2 hour ride would be long for her, but she loved every second of it.
Thanks guys for the great morning!

We had an AMAZING time for our anniversary today! Our ride was supposed to start at 11 and it didn’t start until 11:45 but we really didn’t care. The scenery was gorgeous, the buildings were absolutely charming, and the horses were well-​taken care of and beautiful. Our guide did a great job instructing us during the ride and there were a lot of moments of peaceful silence which was great. The trail was well-​planned. I always felt safe which allowed me to just enjoy my experience. This place is the real deal. I highly recommend!!!

This was a great experience with a great group and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this to first timers and seasoned riders as great affordable activity for all.

Everyone here was awesome! My mother and I took the 2 hour ride with Kayla, and she was so sweet and fun to talk to. Debbie the manager showed us around, and we got to play with her pet pig princess. I can’t remember everyone’s names that work there but I have to say it’s a great place to take the family or just go with your significant other or friends. Thanks again!

Excellent equestrian-​istic experience
What a gem in the West Valley!
Wanted to take a relative from out of the country horseback riding to enjoy the desert. I had seen the WTRS sign when driving by for hikes and then caught their stellar reviews on Unilocal!So, we signed three of us up for a ride, including a precocious seven year old.
The crew genuinely seems to enjoy their job and Debbie made logistics a breeze. Kayla was our guide: A sweet cowgirl who made the ride informative and fun. The horses were all good natured and the trip was beautiful.
We’ll visit again for our girls to enjoy the stables more.
One tip: The hour ride is excellent for people who don’t ride, often. Much longer and people were regretting the sensations in their knees and on their rears.

Had a great ride with liz at white tank stables. We had kids ages 5 – 12 with us and they were so good with the kids! The views were amazing. All around A+.

We all had such a good time on our sunset trail ride at White Mud Park! Liz was a awesome leader, making it fun for all of us. Great value for the money as it was significantly cheaper than other places we looked at. Highly recommended!

We rode at White Tank 3÷18÷15, the weather was absolutely perfect and our wrangler was Kayla. It’s obvious Kayla loves her job and the horses. She was knowledgeable, telling us about the native trees, cacti and animals in the area. We saw some coyotes lounging and a desert squirrel along with awesome mountain views. Kayla made the ride super fun! I rode Baby Girl, she’s beautiful and my friend rode Buttermilk. The horses are gentle and know the trails well. This place is worth visiting!

We came out for a visit from oklahoma and decided to ride here and had Kayla as our guide and had an amazing time! Such a friendly group of people and Kayla is just so bubbly and outgoing. She Made this trail ride a great 2 hours! She told us all about the animals and plants and we even saw some coyotes hanging out. We will always choose to ride here when we come into town! Thanks so much Kayla and sky as well as Dakota and sweet oreo!

Debbie and staff are the best, they care, there authentic, the horse’s are cared for. Family came in from Boston and I took them here and they loved it, we will be back! They also have horse rides for little kids.

I took my 7 yr old son with me and the guides were great! We had Liz, Kayla and Robert! They were all knowledgable, friendly and eager to help everyone! We had a wonderful experience!

This is an awesome stable! The ride was about 2 hours through the area and the scenes were amazing! Gave it ⁴⁄₅ because we scheduled a 8am ride but didn’t go until 9, which left us a little warm towards the end of the ride. The horses are friendly and ride great, I just wish we could go off the beaten path a little.

I highly recommend Debbie & Mike for a great trail ride! She was such a knowledgeable, energetic, fun guide — you will love every minute of your ride.

OMG! So, I purchased a trail ride from Groupon for this specific location & it was an amazing experience! From Debbie, the wrangler, she was so outgoing, welcoming, knowledgeable… Everything was great! How she interacts with the horses along with the people! The horses were so maintained! I rode Las Vegas! Such a great horse! Definitely would go back! The trail was a nice! 2 hours go by so fast though! :(But definitely recommend! I suggest Las Vegas (the horse) if you can!

Great place for horseback riding! Debbie and Mike are awesome, nice gentle horses and beautiful ride! Definitely would highly recommend this stable for a great time!

Love the trail ride. Wanted to give my daughter a safe adventurous experience. She was kind of scared at first and the guide was actually willing to walk her horse with her on the trail. How sweet. Luckily it only took a minute or two for her to gain the courage to ride on her own. It is a simple ride and not too adventurous. Just perfect for a newbie. Fair pricing.

This is my favorite place to ride. My last visit there, Jeff took me without a reservation. I had a very nice guide as usual, they chat with you and tell you about desert fauna and flora. I’ve been twice to this location, the ride takes you on a slight incline and back into the park more than other rides in town. They have horses in every size available.
