Jen's Editing Note: Jo brought this feature to our attention and we love it!
A real-life cowboy adventure is less than 10 minutes from our foothill oasis and we bet you may not know much about it. The gem of a business is located in the Estrella Mountain Regional Park and it boasts of "Memory Making Horse Adventures" and is owned by Jeff and Deb Bitton. Not only do we get to find out more about the business and all it has to offer, but they're also giving Estrella residents a coupon code for a discount adventure. You'll find it in this story. Thanks Jo for bringing our community this feature! |
Q. Where are you originally from?
A. Jeff and Deb spend half the year in Idaho where we have lived for the past 35 years. And half the year is spent in the southwest valley. We meet in college at Oregon State University.

Evenings can be spent on a sunset horseback ride or take the wagon or horses out to our cowboy cook-out to share a magical evening of great food, singing and roasting marshmallows around a blazing campfire.
Q. Why did you decide to open shop here in the Estrella Mountain Regional Park?
A. Great park, growing area and opportunity to open a second corral within the Maricopa County Park system. Our first location is at Cave Creek Regional Park.
