WAYLON

He’s never going to win a beauty contest but if there were ever a prize for the whispiest forelock and the absolute sweetest boy, Waylon would top out the podium every single time!

He’s a red dun quarter horse, which, if he were a human, is a fancy way of saying “strawberry blonde” and is a Boomerang OG worth his weight in pure gold!

Waylon has spent his life being an “anyone can ride him” kind of horse. Patient and gentle, as much like a big ol puppy dog as he is like a horse. A true gentleman and very fond of his people. Never pushing or demanding, always easy and thoughtful. Horses like Way don’t come around too often.

If you make your way to Boomerang Riding Adventures, you won’t likely see him in the string these days. Waylon’s mostly retired and getting ready to live out his golden years on the outside of a working environment. But you’ll definitely see him, he’s still very much a part of our herd and if you stop by during meal or snack time, you’ll probably hear him too, he’s got the sweetest little nicker he makes the whole time he’s munching on his meals.

No favorites is a pretty tough claim with our Waylon around. ❤️

GOOSE

Some people call him Sorrel, some people call him Chestnut. Depends who you are and where you came from I guess. Whatever you call him, you best call him good looking because that’s exactly what he is!

Goose is as red as they come with an uninterrupted stripe down his face, barely a snip on his nose and all of it punctuated with a nice white star.

Based on color and face markings alone, we’ve got a few at the ranch that could be mistaken for ol Goose, but there’s really no denying he’s in a class by himself and none of the other boys hold a candle to his stunning good looks.

Goose is a thoroughbred about eight years young and came to us a few years ago with his pal Maverick (obviously). Unless you show up looking like a cow, or a snake, he’s a fan of neither, he’s going to do the very best job of carrying you through our little slice of Sonoran desert. He’s not picky about his riders. It doesn’t matter if you just came from your job at a cattle ranch, you’re a cattle rancher's grandma, or we put your eight year old on him, he’s all business, prefers a little more whoa than go and will make you feel safe and confident riding him.

The day we added Goose to our herd, was a very good day indeed and we’re so happy he’s here!

SPYDEE

Let's all take a moment and give our boy Spydee a hand. Actually, let's give him about 17 of them because that’s how tall he is! And like an actual spider, he’s all LEGS which really came in handy during his past life as registered race horse. He’s even got a handful of first place finishes to his name.

But, that was the old Spydee and he definitely left his need for speed back at the tracks.

The new Spydee has worked really hard to become a very cool horse for us. Mission accomplished!

He’s a quiet, content horse who minds his business and prefers his people herd to his horse herd and, the back of the pack to the front of the pack.

He’s found his confidence and his comfort zone and has become a really fun horse to have at our stable.

He might not be winning races anymore but he sure has won all of our hearts.

QUESO

I’ve yet to meet a person who doesn’t love Queso. That holds true for both the saucy Tex-Mex cheese dip AND our saucy little Palomino QH.

Queso is about eight years young and has recently been nick-named QueSLO by one of our guests. Maybe he thinks if he moves a little slower, it’ll be that much easier for people to see how good looking he is. And he certainly is!

He’s every bit a blonde bombshell but never lets his good looks get in the way of his stunning personality. He’s a sensitive fellow, sweet and friendly who holds a quiet place in the herd. He’s smart enough to know that less is more and flattery will get him anywhere.

Queso is in the middle of his second season with us and, if we had favorites, which we don’t, but if we did, Queso holds high stakes.

We love having Queso as a part of our herd. He brings SOOOO MUCH more to our table than just white cheese dip!

He looks forward to you coming out to the stable and saying “hay”.

MAVERICK

Maverick is a grullo (grew-yo) mustang who spent his earlier years on an Indian reservation.

Grullo is his color designation and in Spanish it refers the slate grey color of a crane. His coat is fuzzier than most and if you had to compare it to something, a favorite teddy bear might come to mind.

Mav holds a very strong place among the herd. He’s definitely Top Gun and all the boys would probably agree. But don’t let that fool ya. He’s also one of the very best wing-men under saddle and on the ground. He’s a sensitive horse who takes very good care of his riders and will never say no to time spent with the grooming tools. He’s one of the first to come say “hay” when he’s “off the clock” and I might go as far as saying he’s sweeter than honey!

Maverick will be nine years old soon and came to us with his buddy Goose (obviously) a couple of years ago. We’re so happy to have him in our herd and can’t wait for you to meet him in person.

I know I said we’re introducing our horses in no particular order, but……I may have started with the very best boy. Shhhhh. Don’t tell the others.

11/05/2024

Can you think of a better way to start a cold Tuesday morning than with a hot cup of coffee and couple of our very best boys popping up on your social feeds? We can’t either!

We currently have 16 total charmers at the ranch. Fourteen of them saddle horses, and two of the sweetest draft horses you’ll ever meet.

So, without further ado, and in no particular order…..It’s time to start introducing you to our herd!

Kicking off our meet and greet, HERE’S………

It was all hands and hooves on deck today at Boomerang Riding Adventures!

Twenty-one Girl Scouts came down from Scottsdale for a weekend of camping in Colossal Cave Mountain Park and riding horses with us through our beautiful landscape.

I'm not sure who loved it more. Us? Them? Or our horses? We'll call that one a three way tie, and I've got a feeling, the girls are STILL talking about their favorite horses over their campfire tonite.
What a sweet little beautiful day!

11/02/2024

Its time for us to introduce you to the STARS of the show!

Not much goes on behind the scenes as far as these guys are concerned. They’re front and center, and constantly horsing around. They keep things interesting around the ranch and us on our toes every single day.

We’re proud and happy to introduce you to our herd.

In no particular order, over the next several days, we’ll spotlight one or two of our equine partners until we make our way through all sixteen with a fun horse bio and their very best pictures.

Pick your favorite and come say hi the next time you’re in southern AZ.

It's the perfect time of year to enjoy our horses and the incredibly special landscape we get to call home all winter.
