Rancho Loma Bendita

Rancho Loma Bendita, horses, Phoenix, Arizona, sits in the Sonoran Desert near Tucson. The stable follows guidelines from national equine registries familiar to the United States Equestrian Federation and conducts regular veterinary health screenings for genetic soundness. Foals grow up on rotational pastures with daily turnout, balanced grain and forage feeding, and early handling to foster steady temperaments. Early introductions to visitors of all ages during supervised ground handling help horses develop confidence around people.

Over the years their program has been praised by local trainers for producing mounts suited to trail riding, low-level dressage, and endurance events. Owners Karen Ann Livesay and Randy Conilogue draw on a long family history of ranching to maintain a calm, consistent environment, complemented by spacious barns and well-ventilated paddocks. Their approach places equal emphasis on physical conditioning, with regular farrier care and adjusted feeding plans that reflect each horse’s growth and workload.
