Stable Tips Please remember that horseback riding is a very popular event and advance reservations are required year around. With all the stables catering to small groups most people who visit Maui are not here long enough to enjoy the stable of their choice. Mendez Ranch is by far the best. With the ability to take children, this stable offers the most for a family. By being a real working ranch Mendez Ranch also affords heavier people than the other stables. And my friend this is a blessing. Pony Express provides a very special adventure into the barren waste lands of Haleakala. If you ever wondered what it would be like to explore the surface of the moon, then you will find this journey into Haleakala compelling to say the least. This is truly a magical journey into some of the hidden secrets deep inside the "House of the Sun". Pony Express also invites you to enjoy some of Maui's most scenic rides through the vast expanses of Historical Haleakala Ranch. All these rides are incredible.
