Ride Overview
Looking for a less structured riding program, or don’t have a full week to spare? This is one of the only facilities that is able to offer daily accommodation and riding – to suit every riding level – and it’s SUPER fun!
The herd of 28 horses range is size and scope from the most docile (kid friendly and appropriate) to the most “zippy” for those looking to “move out” and enjoy the thrill of letting their horse really “lay low and open up”.
Choose from full day or half day rides. On full day rides a packed lunch is provided. On half day rides, riders come back to the ranch and enjoy a full homemade meal of local cuisine. And on all meals on any trip, dietary restrictions are no problem!
Dates: Available all year, arrive any day.

The ranch is surrounded by mountains, forests, flat grasslands, and lakes. It’s a magnificent place to explore on horseback at any pace. The horses and riding at the ranch are unsurpassed. There are no fences, no gates, no limits - just panoramic vistas, endless space and a wide variety of terrain!
You can ride anywhere from one to seven hours (see sample days of riding below)

Start the day with an array of freshly cooked breakfast options before heading down to the paddock to meet our stunning Criollo, Azteca and Quarter-horse herd and receive an introduction into the Mexican riding style.
Ease into your holiday with your first opportunity to discover the beautiful landscapes around the ranch on horseback before returning to the ranch for a fantastic home-cooked lunch, served under the gentle shade of our Oak, overlooking our very own waterfall!*
After lunch you can decide to stay and relax or join an afternoon ride to one of the local villages where we stop at a tienda to get a drink and experience being a part of the local community (you'll need to bring cash for your refreshment).

Nina F.
Last winter I asked Stacey where a good place to ride would be and to get out of the frigid winter in Maine for a moment. She suggested Mexico and off we went to Rancho las Cascadas.
I have been on many riding trips taking Stacey’s advice and booking through her company, always flying/riding solo..which I love and the rides were all amazing. This trip was the first trip I took with my partner. We both ride so it was just perfect, although there were couples where one person didn’t ride much and that seemed to work out also, the non riders would relax by the pool or take a side trip while the rider galloped like a crazy person through the Mexican desert. The food was perfect every meal, and the bar was open all the time…as in “open bar” for those who imbibe.
There were all types of riding abilities also, but somehow it all worked. The groups would split up into slow rides or fast rides, there were people riding that had never ridden before and they seemed to be smiling a lot as were the seasoned riders. All in all, it was just the trip I had hoped for and come to expect! We will be back…
