Food

The ranch is well known for its delicious, home cooked and plentiful meals. During your stay here you will dine like a true cowboy with the chance to savour traditional ranch cookouts, steak barbeques, hayrides and Indian oven dinners.

You can saddle up and enjoy a breakfast outside, cooked the old fashion way with cast iron skillets, grills and steaming coffee pots. Blueberry pancakes never tasted so good.

The Indian oven dinner is the ranch's signature meal which is a whole dinner of roast beef, carrots, onions, potatoes, bread and cake all cooked with mesquite in a traditional Indian oven.

Three daily meals are included in your package, breakfast and lunch are buffet style and dinner is always three course. You definitely won't go hungry here!

Testimonials

Rachel, Feb. 18, 2020

Absolutely love it! An amazing holiday with great friends, horses and sunshine, great fun trying out penning - such brilliant fun. We couldn't fault anything with the accommodation and the fact that I put on a few pounds was a sign of the great food - Didn't want to come home!

Sarah & Tony, Oct. 29, 2019

Absolutely wonderful, everything we had hoped for. White Stallion was superb. While a large ranch, they have managed to make it so friendly and welcoming, and the number of people who came back again and again was testament to that.

Angela G., June 13, 2019

Very good. Excellent opportunity to experience western riding and activities in a relaxed atmosphere... The overall care and condition of the horses - amazing given the area they're kept in! Great wranglers - especially Matthew whose enthusiasm was infectious.

Sharon A., Oct. 12, 2017

Fantastic! The True Family have made this an amazing holiday experience, everything has been thought of. The horses are brilliant, the food is excellent and the staff - wranglers, hospitality, reception - couldn't have done more for us. Overall brilliant! The accommodation was first class, comfortable beds and air-conditioned rooms, very clean. Food was amazing, buffet style to cater for all tastes - I definitely didn't go hungry. The horses were fantastic... Tally (my horse) was super and really looked after me. All the tack was in good condition.The wranglers were superb, they knew all the tracks and made sure all the riders were safe and happy. (Anything to improve?) Absolutely nothing! If you want lots of riding with plenty of variety, lovely food and good downtime, with a pool and evening entertainment, then this is definitely the place!

Sue D., Nov. 1, 2016

Excellent. Super site, very friendly staff. Excellent accommodation and food. I couldn't fault either. Would have liked tea-making facilities in the room. Pick-up from and to Arizona Shuttle at Ina Road was good. (Favourite Memory?) The old pony I rode - Jeeves - who was a real character!
