5.00I went several times with family, friends and Solo. There was no large crowds or groups of people on the tours. I love Waco, Tx & Ricky Bates.
Beautiful

5.00We had a wonderful afternoon ride at Brazos. Madie and Brooke were fantastic guides. They were professional and welcoming. True southern hospitality. At one point the horses spooked a bit from a deer running through the woods, but all of their tips beforehand kept everyone calm and collected and they handled the situation perfectly. The scenery was beautiful and the photos they took throughout the ride were great. 10/10 recommend.
Totally recommend!

5.00Our experience at Brazos Bluffs Ranch was wonderful, and I would love to come back and do it again! The staff was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and safety conscience. They explained everything clearly, and they made sure everyone was comfortable. We were encouraged to "unplug" so to speak because they took pictures of us during the ride. We were allowed to take photos if we wanted, but I was having such a good time, I didn't even think about my camera. The horses are beautiful and well behaved. I would love to do the Sunset ride next. Shout out to Brooke and Ruthie for being amazing!
Beautiful Ride through Beautiful Country
