My husband and I took a 5 year anniversary trip to Waco and visited Brazos Bluffs Ranch. Horseback riding was our favorite part of the trip. Our guides were super friendly and helpful. The ranch kitten, Scout, was adorable and followed us throughout the trail ride. He got tired and had to be carried on the way back to the stables. It was so cute! Highly recommend Brazos Bluffs Ranch if you are in the area.

Great experience! First time riders and we had an easy time steering our horses along the trail. Great photo opportunities as well

Amazing time and beautiful views! We didn’t know they did a sunset ride too. We will definitely book that next time. It’s very safe and good for any age.

My first time on a horse and it was awesome! Maddie and Ruthie gave us clear instructions beforehand which was greatly appreciated. Basically 4 ways to interact with the horse ( go, stop, left and right), not that you really needed them as the horses were so well trained! I 100% recommend this for a couples trip, my wife loved it as did I. The 1.5hours was perfect for a newbie, and the up and down the hills was fun/exciting enough for me.

We had the best time! The trail was nice and long and we really feel like it was money well spent for the experience. We will be coming back!

My fiancée and I have never been horse back riding and we found this place. The horses were friendly and the ladies that took us were very kind and cheerful. Would definitely love to go back again at a later date to relive the experience.

Our two guides were delightful. We had a lovely sunny day riding through meadows and woods. The view at the top of the ridge over the river and beyond was splendid.

Kylie and her helper were so sweet and down to earth, they really made it a comfortable experience for my boyfriend and I even though we have limited horse riding abilities lol. The trail was beautiful too, there were plenty of wildflowers and we even saw some deer!

We had a amazing time riding at Brazos Bluffs Ranch! Kylie and Maddie really know their stuff. They ran us through a quick training session so even the most inexperienced and nervous were comfortable. Then they took us on some of the most beautiful trails in the Texas Hill Country. Loved riding up to the Brazos River Overlook.

As we were horse riding novices, our guide went to a lot of effort to teach us the basics of what was required to enjoy our trail ride.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you for this review!
Janet_P, Aug 2022
This experience was stellar. It was more than we were expecting. We were all beginners and came out unscathed. The trail was amazing and wasn't all easy which we loved. We will remember this forever and we hope to come back with other family members.
Response from Host, Aug 2022

The horseback riding was exactly what we needed to slow down and take a break from the work life. The scenery was beautiful. Kylie and Cody were fantastic guides. They handled our husbands craziness and jokes like a pro!! We definitely will be back for the sunset ride and s’mores!!
Response from Host, Apr 2022
We are so happy that y'all had a great time! Craziness and jokes make the ride fun. We can't wait to have you guys back!
Ann_P, Mar 2022
It was good to get to ride downhill and uphill instead of staggering along in a line. it was wonderful to ride in the cedar forest or thicket .
Response from Host, Mar 2022
