Win A Riding Holiday In Arizona's Old West

[Sam Ward]

Proof that the old west is still alive and well, the Tombstone Monument Ranch is a living testament to this bygone era.  Its exterior is modelled on an 1800's frontier town and only three miles from what was once one of the most lawless locations in the US there's the chance to ride into the city and watch reenactments of the Battle at the OK Corral.  

A selection of fast rides were recently introduced for more experienced equestrians, the all day horseback adventures taking guests to the ghost town of Fairbank. The original railhead for Tombstone, Fairbank was the departure point for the ore pulled from the city’s silver mines and the scene for one of the old west’s last great train robberies - the heist led by outlaw, Burt Alvord. 

Gunslinging with Arizona Bill is another major highlight along with archery and roping.

At the end of the trail guests have the option to relax by the pool and in the Trappman Saloon where Arizona Bill shares his tips on how to play a mean hand of poker and Faro: a hugely popular card game in the Wild West era.

Riding holiday specialist, Ranch Rider will be offering its website visitors a chance to win a seven night stay on the ranch, the prize draw running up to 30 November 2015. To enter online and for the full list of Terms and Conditions visit the website.
