“This is a lovely place for horse riding. The ranchers know each horse by personality and temperament. They seem to genuinely care for them. The trails were pleasant and comfortable. Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. He made us feel very comfortable. I think we learned much more about riding than we had from previous rides. Thoroughly recommend this ranch. They offer archery, fishing, and riding lessons, but we only experienced the trail ride.” – M Ruberu
“This was such a great horseback riding experience for us. I loved the place, the people were really nice. My cousins visited from Florida, so wanted to give them some Texan feel, and this place was perfect for them. We did the trail riding, which in itself was a great experience, and the trail up and down was really beautiful. They even lent us cowboy hats to take pictures. The place is perfect for family, couples, or even if you just want to get the experience by yourself. The horses were really nice, and the instructors were very helpful.” – Alisha
