Planning a team building exercise can be tricky. If you are trying to organize a group of people, you probably know that it can be difficult. However, a Vegas Horse tour can be just the thing to get everyone on the same page. With a straightforward schedule that is still exciting and fun at the same time, a horseback tour is the perfect thing to entice people to get excited and enjoy their retreat. As you can get a horseback riding tour for up to 100 people, there is no reason your team should be excluded from the fun.

Of course, the value of horseback riding in Las Vegas as a team building exercise is not to be underestimated. Because many people have never ridden a horse, horseback riding as a group is sure to be a memorable experience. Additionally, horseback riding is sure to inspire stories that will be told again and again. All of this adds up to an incredible experience that many people will share together. Such an experience is sure to bring your team closer together, accomplishing your goal and allowing you to have a lot of fun at the same time.

It is obvious that a Las Vegas horseback tour is a great thing to take your team on. Whether your goal is simply to take a break from all of the stress surrounding you, or to bring your team closer together, horseback riding tours in large groups are a great way to do it. When you compare this great activity to other, more generic activities that you might take part in during your stay in Las Vegas, they simply cannot compare to a great tour on horseback. If you want your team to remember this trip, you should definitely give them a horseback tour.

Horseback Riding in Las Vegas

Vegas Horseback Tours is setting new records, with its variety of Las Vegas horseback trail rides that follow the same trails as Mexican caravans between 1829 and 1848. The Old Spanish Trail, which was originally established by Native American footpaths that crossed the West, led traders and frontiersmen from Santa Fe to Los Angeles.

“There were three routes that spanned southern Nevada: the Armijo route, Mojave route, and the main route that crossed through Las Vegas and what we now know as the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area,” said Ruben Villegas,  Las Vegas Horseback Specialist. “The trails fell out of use after the Mexican-American War, which made them ideal for many outlaws we associate with the wild West.”

According to Ruben, most of the commercial routes were established by Jose Francisco Armijo, who was among the first to accept the challenge of establishing a direct land route between the provinces as a merchant. The average journey lasted six to eight weeks. One route preserved by the Old Spanish Trail Association is named after Armijo.

Prior, portions of the Old Spanish Trail were also used by Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, and Etienne Provost. These early traders connected ancient Native American trails that were used by the Ute, Paiute, Comanche, and Navajo people. Today, some mule train trails can be identified by tracks only 36 inches wide whereas wagon trails are six feet across.

Vegas Horseback Tours features its Old Spanish Trail ride during a four-hour tour that includes up to two hours of saddle time and lunch. Lunch consists of a chicken sandwich or hamburger, baked beans, potato salad or french fries. The tour also includes a stop at nearby Bonnie Springs Ranch and its petting zoo.

“We attribute the record reservations to people looking to connect with our country’s history as well as horseback riding enthusiasts who haven’t been riding in the cold weather in the East,” said Ruben. “What I love so much about it is that it brings a variety of people with very different interests together.”

All excursions also include complimentary pick-up and drop-off from Strip hotels. A limited number of horses are available per tour. For reservations and more information, call 888.584.9059 (local 702-664-2585) or visit Las Vegas Horseback Tours.
