RANCHO RED ROCK
Horse Stables, Horseback Riding, Guided Trail Rides, Lessons and Training Facilities located 30 Miles North of Reno, Nevada
| | Location: Rancho Red Rock is located about 30 miles north or Reno, NV in the North Valleys. Please follow the directions on this website's DIRECTIONS page. Many GPS or computer programs are not accurate in rural areas.
We Offer: Trail rides for riders of all abilities (all rides are private, just your party and the guide) , lessons, pony rides, farm tours, pony parties, day or half day programs for groups such as Scout troops, schools...
 You are welcome to use the picnic area or (in cold weather) the kitchen table for a lunch or snacks. And yes, I will make lunches, snacks or home cooked dinner for riders. All the rides are private. We do not take more than 3 riders per guide, so if your group is larger, talk with each other as to who rides more...who rides less. Try to make little groups of 2 or 3 who ride at a similar ability. You can arrange with your guides to all meet at a "photo op" or a suitable place for a snack break. That way each person has the best and safest possible riding experience. 
All rides start at Red Rock, where we have an arena and can give you a refresher lesson for a few minutes at the beginning of your ride. We also offer lessons and beginner rides at the ranch. You can begin where you are comfortable and gradually and move up to more difficult rides as you learn. We can ride up the Pinnacles, a scenic ridge with fantastic views and rock formations just to the south of the property. 1 or 2 hours. To the east there is the Sand Hills, not as steep but miles and miles of canyons and views for 30 miles, We sometimes see wild horses or antelope here. 2 to 4 hour rides. And we can trailer a short distance to 7 Lakes, Bedel Flats or the lovely aspen filled canyons near Peavine Mt to the south. As usual, please make arrangements at least a day in advance. | How to book: Please call or email and make your reservation.

MAP OF NORTH RENO AREA WITH ATTRACTIONS:
Click to enlargeIf you come from Reno up 395, you can visit Reno's only zoo, Sierra Safari Zoo. Then 10 miles further up Red Rock Road is the Animal Ark. This is a sanctuary for rescued animals and they have some very interesting interpretive programs. Like a "wolf howl" evening in the full moon of summer. Then you come to Lynn Lloyd's farm, Ross Creek Ranch. She has the only official Master Of Hounds in Nevada, with over 100 foxhounds and a full training stable. She is always happy to show people around. Then you have Sierra Nevada Alpacas. This farm is very visitor friendly and has frequent "open house" days where they show you around and explain all about their animals and the fine fiber they produce. And then you come to our place....at the corner of Red Rock and Frontier. If you want to continue your adventure after your visit with us....keep going along Red Rock Rd. As you pass through the narrow canyon just before Hiway 395, you will be right close to the brilliant red and white cliffs. There are many places to pull off and take a short hike to explore. Watch out for SNAKES!!!! Then you come to 395, and if you are at all interested in pottery, take a right. Go north a bit over a mile, look to your left for a row of mail boxes. One says "Great Basin Pottery". Take that dirt road til you are there. Paul Herman has a fascinating place. If he is there he will show you around. If not, all the pottery is displayed on rustic shelves out under the old trees and sheds. There are price tags and a box for your check. He has a hot springs and is in the process of renovating a one time green house. We have told him he should do very exclusive Medeival Banquets there. Invitation only. And as part of your meal you take home your place setting. Just an idea, this is a favorite place we take visitors. And then you are back on 395. Go right. SOUTH. You will go right back to Reno...or.....for wonderful sight-seeing, take a right at hiway 70 and got to Chilcoot, Loyalton, Sierraville. This is the beautiful Sierra Valley. With it are picturesque ranches, towns, stores, cafes. Stop at Wiggins Trading Post in Chilcoot. A real, old fashioned country store. And at the end of the day you will come back to Hiway 80 and go east to Reno. Or cross I-80 and take Hwy 267 to Northstar Lake Tahoe.
