Miniatures are enjoyed by all ages - youngsters enjoy their "miniature" size and find them easy to handle in riding, driving and halter showing. Minis also show in obstacle and jumping classes. Senior Citizens enjoy their size and the ease with which they can be handled. They are a pleasure to take for a "Sunday Drive"/ They are all horse - just on a much smaller scale! We offer AMHA and AMHR registered miniatures. Sizes range from 30" to 34" for a mature miniature in the "A" division. We would love to introduce you to these delightful little horses.

Located at the eastern edge of Tucson, Arizona, Anderson Riding Ranch is located close to the Tanque Verde Wash and adjacent to a protected bird sanctuary and wilderness area. The surrounding area is marked by a variety of desert plants and animals, such as the magnificent Saguaro Catus, Barrel Cactus, desert trees, and animals such as Coyotes and Roadrunners. Once in a while riders get the awesome experience of seeing a Bobcat. Beautiful in their appearance they pose no threat to rider or horses, and visitors will be able to meet these creatures in their natural habitat (that is if lucky enough). There are many trails to choose from that would keep a rider busy for hours at a time. From the stable one may ride to the entrance of the Saguaro National Park to enjoy many hours of riding, or head off in another direction from the stable and ride through a grove of Mesquite and Cottonwood trees.
