Gotno Morgan Ranch
The Ranch's goal is to extend an invitation to horse lovers from all over the coutnry to come share the uniqueness of the Sonoran Desert. We strive to provide a safe, clean, comfortable "home" for you and your horses while away from home. The Ranch is "home" to overnight stablers and to weekly/monthly visitors from around the country.
We host many events throughout the year which includes poker rides, team sorting, our annual Halloween and GotNo birthday parties. Mule wagon rides in the desert followed up with a BBQ and entertainment back at the ranch are becoming very popular. And we throw a great western wedding and reception here at the ranch.
