Gentleman\u2019s Acres was a working farm since the early 1940s, with rolling pastures and racehorses \u2013 all owned and trained by Col. Fontleroy, a World War I ace. After his death in 1965, the ranch was put up for auction and bought by Charles and Jean Bagley.<\/p>\n
Over the years many horses were born, trained and boarded here. However, as the water level dropped it was necessary to build permanent stalls and runs (made out of telephone poles, in keeping with the Western style).<\/p>\n
In 1987 the City of Tucson acquired 13 acres, now the Rio Vista Resource Park. In 2019, Sandy Gauthier-Young, native of Tucson, purchased the ranch from Jean Bagley. As a child and young teen, Sandy spent endless days on the ranch, her parents being close friends of the Bagleys. We look forward to welcoming you and your horse into our home and community.<\/p>\n
Gentleman’s Acres is a 6.2-acre family-owned and operated ranch. We\u2019re conveniently located in central Tucson up against the Rillito Wash and Catalina Foothills with unparalleled trail riding for miles. We have two lighted arenas, two round-pens, 70 stalls, tack rooms, an obstacle course, and a shaded ramada for community or rented events.<\/p>\n
