Enjoy a scenic 1/2 day (about three hours in the saddle) horseback ride for two, compliments of Hauer Ranch! 

Join the fun of horse or mule riding through miles of scenic open range in the most spectacular country you can imagine. Horseback riding in Moab is the ideal way to view the beautiful Utah desert. Enjoy peace and quiet as you meander along the Colorado River, cross creeks, or visit famous movie sites while enjoying the feel of open range riding. Step back in time and enjoy the raw unchanged splendor of the Moab desert with the Hauer's experienced and knowledgeable guides. All trips are tailored to your experience level.

John Hauer is the owner and operator of two ranches, a 1,400-acre ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and a ranch located on the banks of the Colorado River north of Moab, Utah. In the past, his ranching operations have used Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Morgans, and Peruvian Pasos, but since his “conversion,” the focus is  on mules. John and his wife, Sena, buy, sell, raise and ride mules on their “Back Country Mules” ranch north of Moab. John has co-authored college text books on travel and tourism, and has had articles about mules published in The Saturday Evening Post and in Mules and More, a monthly publication for the mule aficionado.
