Multi-Day
Saddle and Paddle Combos
Lajitas Stables has joined forces
with Big Bend River Tours to offer
these exciting combinations
of horseback riding and river rafting.
Exclusively, our trips
make the transfer from your horse to the raft right from our campsite on
the banks of Rio Grande River. We offer this exciting recipe for adventure
on just a two-day time frame.
Sample
Two-Day Itinerary
Riding and camping are all done on the Texas side of the river. This is
the trip with the flexibility to accommodate anyone's age or riding ability.
We design the ride around your group's specific requirements. We can explore
historic cattle trails, search for fossils, or ride to Indian pictographs
- your choice. After a day in the saddle, relax at our base camp at the
historical Monilla Ranchito while your guide prepares an authentic campfire
meal. Next morning, trade in your saddle for a softer seat when the rafting
company picks you up for a relaxing day on the Rio Grande.
This combination trip offers a taste of the best that Big Bend has to offer
- horseback riding through the desert and mountains, rafting on the river
that is the lifeblood of this country, and a glimpse at the lives of the
people of the Mexican Frontera.
Wow! All this in as little
as a two-day time frame.

a valid state or government issued photo ID for persons aged 16 and up
