5.00I had a wonderful horseback riding experience today. It was my first time riding, and I felt very comfortable the entire time. I was given the opportunity to get to know my horse, Lightning, who was incredibly gentle and well-behaved. The guides made the experience easy and enjoyable. The scenery along the ride was absolutely stunning and made the whole experience even more special. We selected the 9 am time, which was the best since Texas is hot.. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone, especially first-time riders.
Wonderful Experience

5.00This was the 3rd time I’ve been out on a trail ride here, and it didn’t disappoint at all! The trails and views are simply spectacular… our hosts are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. All the horses look very healthy, it’s obvious they are well looked after, they are all so sweet. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
Excellent horseback riding experience!

5.00Our private ride, 4 ladies, was absolutely perfect. The weather cooperated and it was a beautiful day. The weather had been rainy but Lem graciously worked with us to find the time to get our ride in. Ruthie was our guide and she made sure we were all comfortable. She kept us advised on how to handle the terrain of slight hills and slight slopes. The scenery was beautiful and the birds were singing, It was so peaceful. We stopped for a break at the bluff overlooking the river and had a snack and beverage. Lem showed us how to lasso a calf and we laughed at our skills. All and all, it was a very memorable ride and the highlight of our trip to Waco. I highly recommend Brazos Bluffs Stables.

5.00This was a wonderful experience on a beautiful ranch. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us with the ride and helping us all along the way. They took the time to fit the best horse with the rider and teach you how to handle the horse before you went on the ride. Would highly recommend for a wonderful experience.
Amazing Anniversary

5.00We came on our Anniversary weekend and already plan on coming back. Ruthie and Cade were brilliant and patient. The horses seemed to already know what to do. The scenic views were beautiful. If you’re not experienced like we were, expect to be a bit sore the next day-but worth every second! We bought shirts and branded coasters! It was so fun!

5.00First time was amazing, they were very patient with me and my friend. They were also knowledgeable. At first I was very nervous/scared but it quickly went away when I got on the horse and seen the amazing view. Like taking a walk through nature.
