Video Tours of the Horse Areas

Video Tours

One of the best times to walk through The Big Barn, the Corral, and the other horse areas of Double Star Ranch is right at sunset, just when the interior lights all along the central drive of The Big Barn are first turned on. Things are quiet, and in Phoenix summers, it's starting to cool down. So here are some sunset video tours of the horse areas at the ranch.

First: Going Through The Big Barn

Below is a tour starting at the south entrance of The Big Barn, which is right in the roundabout area where you can enter the Red Brick House garage to the west, or The Big Barn to the north. It finishes by exiting out the far north end of The Big Barn.



The Big Barn is big enough to drive drive all the way through with a big truck or tractor - in this tour we just walk through.

Touring the Corral

The corral is located just west of The Big Barn. It has autowatering on its east end, and two gates for access: a double gate on its west end for trailer transporation, and a single gate on its east end, for access to the crosswise breezeway of the Big Barn.

Here's a tour around it, starting from the north end of the Big Barn and going west to take us around the corral.

The Hot Walker and Wash Down Area

Just north of The Big Barn is the hot walker and wash down area. It includes the four speed hot walker and it surrounding area, and the outdoor bathroom and wash down sink to the east of it. This tour takes us all around that area.

The Back Trails, and the Back "Football Field"

This last video tour is not so much about the horse facilities, but about two other areas. First, the trails of the county park that cross from east to west, north of Double Star Ranch. The video shows what you see from the back of the Ranch, right at the county park fence line.

The rest of the tour is of the field directly behind the Red Brick House, extending all the way to the county park line. This tour is included to show the size and persepective of what could be called the "Football Field," since from the back patio of the Red Brick House, on the north border of the house, to the barb wire fence that starts the county park, on the north border of the Ranch, it is just shy of a full football field long.

That's big enough for just about anything you want, right outside your back door.
