Ever wonder what us cowgirls do in our off time? We ride!!!

There’s no such thing as too much time in the saddle, and when we’re not guiding, we’re out exploring new trails, fine-tuning our horses, and soaking in the beauty of the Wild West. Riding isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life!

The other day was a special one for King, our big black Percheron-Cross. He had the chance to take his former owner out on a trail ride, and it was clear—he remembered her. Horses never forget.

Moments like these remind us how grateful we are to provide a good life for the horses in our care, giving them the consistency they need while earning the trust of their past owners.

Here are some fun and interesting facts about the iconic saguaro cactus 🌵

1. Tall and Mighty: The saguaro cactus can grow up to 40–60 feet tall and weigh more than a ton when fully hydrated.

2. Lifespan: They can live up to 150–200 years, making them one of the longest-living desert plants.

3. Slow Growers: Saguaros grow very slowly, taking around 10 years to grow just 1–1.5 inches tall. By the time they are 50–75 years old, they might start growing their first arms.

4. Water Reservoirs: These cacti can store up to 200 gallons of water during a single rainfall, allowing them to survive long dry periods.

5. Desert Giants: They are native only to the Sonoran Desert, thriving in the hot, arid climate of Arizona, northern Mexico, and a small portion of California.

6. Cactus Flowers: The saguaro’s white, waxy flowers bloom at night and are Arizona’s state flower. These flowers attract bats, bees, and birds for pollination.

7. Animal Homes: Many desert creatures, such as Gila woodpeckers and elf owls, make their homes inside saguaros, living in the cool, hollowed-out spaces.

8. Fruit Feast: The saguaro’s red fruit is edible and highly nutritious, providing food for wildlife and people. It was historically harvested by Native American tribes.

9. No Taproot: Instead of a deep taproot, saguaros have shallow roots that spread outward, allowing them to quickly absorb rainwater.

10. Cultural Symbol: The saguaro is a symbol of the American Southwest and features prominently in art, literature, and movies about the region.
