With the original ranch and pump house dating back to 1900 and rooms built in 1945, history abounds at White Stallion Ranch. Originally homesteaded in 1936, the 3,000-acre White Stallion Ranch is an all-inclusive Dude Ranch that mixes Old West adventure with luxurious, modern creature comforts. The personal touch and hospitality of a traditional dude ranch is carefully blended with the service and amenities of a fine resort. Guests reconnect with nature, family, friends, and serenity, while exploring the unspoiled desert, rugged mountains, and majestic cacti that have inspired Hollywood’s filmmakers since the 1930s. The True family enjoys welcoming guests to the ranch that has been their home for over 50 years.

History
White Stallion Ranch was originally built in the 1900’s and began as a cattle ranch. The original property was constructed of Mexican adobe brick made of mud and straw. The ranch was homesteaded in 1939 and shortly afterward became the CB Bar Ranch. It became a guest ranch in 1945 and the ranch’s ownership changed hands until 1965, when Allen and Cynthia True came from Colorado to make the ranch their home. Since 1965, three generations of the True family have worked to expand and improve the ranch. Since the early days as a backdrop in Western feature films and later, as the location for the television series High Chaparral (1968-72) White Stallion Ranch has consistently attracted the attention of Hollywood Producers.
