From the beginning of a horse and cattle ranch in the late 1950’s, the Richardson Family is still working the land. Initially the spread consisted of 36,000 acres in the desert that is now North Scottsdale. In the spring of 1970 on Easter Sunday Old Mac Donald’s Farm opened to the public. The Richardson Family realized a dream of an operation that allows the public the hands on approach to the ranch experience. In 1994 the 1300 acre Old MacDonald’s Farm was updated to MacDonald’s Ranch and services changed to offer an atmosphere where you can relax and take a step back in time to an overview of ranch life. In their third decade of operation MacDonald’s Ranch is one of Scottsdale’s oldest and experienced horseback riding stables in the Valley of the Sun.
MacDonald’s Ranch is conveniently located on Scottsdale Rd just 5 miles north of the 101. (Southwest Corner of Jomax and Scottsdale roads.)
