Lajitas Stables-Big Bend Stables

After eight years of guiding and packing in Colorado, owner Linda Walker decided to begin a new adventure in the Big Bend, and in 1988 founded Lajitas Stables. Originally located in downtown Lajitas, we moved to our current location two miles west of town in 2006. This spot provides us with easy access to Big Bend Ranch State Park, where we are the only horseback operator in the park’s 350,000 acres. Even our multi-day overnight trips barely scratch the surface! During our long history in Lajitas we’ve done it all. For many years we were the official outfitter for the Big Bend Ranch longhorn cattle drive, one of the most popular programs the State Park has ever offered and a perennial client favorite. We also guided five-day trips into Old Mexico, giving clients the chance to experience south-of-the-border culture firsthand, until government closure of the border forced us to suspend travel. In the early days, many of our horses came from Mexico, and although that’s no longer true, our horses are still ‘natives’ who were born and raised locally. Our guides are also ‘natives’ who love the area—they are dedicated to sharing its beauty with their clients and defining the difference between the expected and the exceptional. (Source)
