Confirmed from The Pony Ranch's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Petting zoo offering pony rides and carousel for kids.

What runners say about The Pony Ranch

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (95 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

We went to the pony Ranch for my daughter‘s fourth birthday. It was just our family of four and grandparents. We had the best time! The staff and ponies were so great! There is some country music playing in the background and the pony trail is the perfect length (0.25 is my guess). There is a pony carrousel also.

This is the best place for kids in Casa Grande! Kids of all ages LOVE it! My kids adore it! Plan to stay for hours and wear comfortable walking shoes. You can even bring lunch or buy lunch there! There's a playground and a petting zoo, rodeo round up, and sooo many cute little places.

This place was beyond fun for our kids. They had a blast! We spent a total of 2-3 hrs here with 4 kids. They got to ride horses for half a mile, get on a pony carousel, and feed the animals. All the employees and kids are so beyond helpful, nice, and had great customer service. I would definitely come back!
