Palo Duro Riding Stables

Palo Duro Riding Stables The finest and the friendliest since 1962, providing family fun on horseback in the beautiful Palo Duro Canyon! He had a dream and made it a reality.
(688)

Located 3/4 mile before the Palo Duro Canyon State Park entrance. Family owned and operated since our doors opened, we have 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations leading the way! All of us here at Palo Duro Riding Stables are carrying on the dream of a man near and dear to our hearts, Jim Sorenson. Jim is the man who started it all back in 1962 when he purchased 400 acres of Palo Duro Canyon with his fath

er. He gave us all a beautiful home, a love and passion for our horses, and the drive to carry on his dream to make PDRS the best stable and experience in the area. We pride ourselves in happy horses here at PDRS. Whether it’s our family of horses that were born and raised in our privately owned part of PDC, or our rescue horses we’ve shown a better way of life. When they find their way to us, they stay with us. Our wonderful herd of 19 horses have experience carrying people of ALL ages! 5 years and up can ride their own, under 5 years old can ride with a parent/guardian! We are the only riding stable that starts at the top of the canyon and rides down into the bottom. We are open year-round, WEATHER-PERMITTING. Our 4-legged millionaires are chomping at the bit to share with you the experience of a lifetime! If you want beautiful canyon views from above and below, give us a holler! As always, Happy Trails and God Bless!

We just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know we’re safe from the wildfires this evening! Evacuations have been lifted for now. Thank you to everyone that reached out, offered help if needed, and your prayers. They worked! We truly are blessed by having made so many friends throughout the world that love this place as much as we do. Thank you so so much to the first responders and firefighters for keeping everyone safe. Prayers are still needed as several fires are still blazing through the Texas panhandle. God bless!

WARNING!!! Just wanted to make everyone aware. Somebody out there is using our name and address to scam folks into buying horses. We are not a sale barn and a majority of our horses live out their lives with us! Thank you to the kind lady that brought this to our attention. Be careful out there, friends. People are mean and crazy.
