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.
(687)

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!

Sassy is one of the oldest horses here at The Hideout at Palo Duro Canyon, but let me tell you, she's not sassy at all. We got her from a local rescue organization, and despite being a total sweetheart, she was named Sassy because she came to us swinging - or should I say, neighing. A more fitting name would be Sweet Pea, but we're sticking with Sassy. This old gal's got some serious health issues, including PPID, which is a tumor on her pituitary gland. And if that's not enough, she's also got founder and chronic laminitis - Ouch!, which means we have to watch her diet like a hawk. Just a little sugar and she's limping around like a, well, like a horse with a limp. When you book a stay with us, you're helping to support horses like Sassy, who all have their own special needs. We even have a blind horse on the premises - talk about a special snowflake. So if you book an August stay, be sure to use coupon code HIDEOUT20 for a 20% discount.

Green pastures in late June are almost unheard of in the Texas panhandle! The horses definitely approve. We will never complain about rain. Even if it does mean having to cancel rides occasionally.

We got to ride with Pippi Longstocking, y’all! Kodi Jo even let her sit on her prized leopard appy, just like the horse in the movie. What a great way to start winding down Spring Break ‘25. Thanks for choosing us and we can’t wait to see you on trail again someday!
