It was magical never been on a horse b4 and it was a great experience learning everything you need to know about mounting and controlling your horse. Really beautiful ranch and forest you go through. Amazing guide they are kind and knowledgeable. Worth the price!! Long 1 hour ride!!

Thank you, Dakota for the good words and recommendation.
My 9-year-old son and I did the 1.5 hour adventure trail ride. I would not say it was particularly "adventurous" because the horses traveled very slowly and the terrain was quite flat; however, my son and I are new to horse back riding so it was perfect for us. My son was nervous when he first got on the horse, but the trail guides are friendly and experienced, and within 20 minutes my son was feeling very confident. Most of the trail is in the shade so it wasn't uncomfortable even in the summer. I appreciated that our guide was happy to take lots of pictures of us using my cell phone (it was actually her suggestion). Afterward, we bought some horse treats for a few dollars and got to feed and pet several horses. My son was excited to tell his friends all about it when we got home.
We are glad that your son was excited and you had a good time.
We had a great time and have recommended Cypress Trails to several family members and friends.
Thanks for the recommendation, we appreciate it and are glad you had a great time at Cypress Trails Ranch.
My 16 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our ride with Alexia! Our horses, Jasmine & Oasis, were calm and well-cared for. Even in the July heat, we were fairly comfortable because 95% of the ride was in the shade of the woods. I’d recommend a morning or evening ride in the summer months. We wore jeans and tennis shoes/boots. I appreciated that they remove the horse’s saddles, hose the horses off, and give them rest between rides. We loved it! Highly recommend!
Thanks, Heather we are so glad that you and your son had a great time riding at Cypress Trails Ranch and hope to see you again.
My granddaughter & I had a blast. It had been 20 yrs since I had ridden. The horses were very well behaved. The leader of our small group was very knowledgeable & fun to chat with. This was a very enjoyable time for the two of us.
Thanks so much for the great feedback, we are so happy you had an enjoyable trail ride.
Very impressed with their operation. As an experienced horsemen I thought they were very detailed oriented and professional. Laz was our our trail guide and he handles himself very well around my non-experienced friends who were very nervous at the beginning of the ride and finished loving it and wanting to repeat. Their horses are well cared for and timid and easy to handle. The trails were incredibly well maintained and I would highly recommend this place for a a first class trail ride.
It's great to get such positive feedback from a fellow equestrian. We appreciate your comments and recommendation. Come ride with us again soon!
We HIGHLY recommend the private trail riding here, especially during the Springtime! Mikaela was an awesome guide. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable.
Thank you for the positive feedback, our staff appreciates your good review. Come back and ride with us again!
Highly recommend for solo or a group!!!
Thanks for the recommendation, Nona, it is very much appreciated. Come back and ride with us soon!
