    Amazing Horseback Ride with an Awesome Sunset

    Amazing trip. Long beautiful trip to the bluffs. The horses were great and Ruthie and Savanna did an excellent job with my two daughters (11 and 13). The sunset was awesome. This is one of the best things I have ever done. Totally worth it

    Family fun at a beautiful place

    Maddie and Savannah were so friendly and gave us a great experience. Very pleased to see such a clean, well taken care of facility, tack and, of course, horses. A+ all the way around.

    Worth it!!

    Beautiful and peaceful

    Our 3 tour guides, Maddie, Ruthy, and Mike were amazing and set everything up for our little group so efficiently! We had a little lesson on how to handle our horses before we hit the trails so all of us with no prior experience were able to build up some confidence and get the nerves out. Then we got to ride through the beautiful ranch before getting out onto the bluff overlooking the Brazos river. The sunset was gorgeous and they had snacks and drinks for us to enjoy while we took a little break to soak in the sunset. They had some yard games and chairs set up on the overlook area as well. After the sun set we got back on our horses and headed back through the trails to the barn. We absolutely loved the ride, it was well paced, fun, beautifully scenic and overall one of our top rated experiences! We would love to go back again sometime!
