Stanfordville, NY – January 27, 2026—Active Riding Trips has the trip of a lifetime saddled up and waiting this Year of the Horse: A stay at an iconic Arizona dude ranch while honing horsemanship with bitless ranch horseman and Equine Affaire featured clinician, Luke Reinbold.
Designed as a souvenir that can last a lifetime, these Active Riding Trips are at the Kay El Bar Ranch. The Kay El Bar is on the National Register of Historic Places and limits guests to 25 at a time to its 100-acre ranch abutting the Sonoran Desert in Wickenburg outside of Phoenix.
Inspired by life lessons learned while his father-in-law battled Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, Luke’s mission is to “encourage people in their life as they ride nice horses and enjoy the freedoms provided by that lifestyle. The goal is to keep the main things a priority – God, family, life together, training horses, raising cattle, and helping people.”
Active Riding Trips offers Confidence Through Horsemanship and/or Ranch Camp clinics at this authentic award-winning ranch along with incredible meals, a roaring fireplace and fire pit, hot tub, and ample time to unwind after quality time in the saddle on seasoned ranch horses.
