Enjoy trail riding in Texas in this beautiful part of the state. The riding center is located at the former headquarters of a century old cattle ranch in the heart of the Texas Hill Country which is justly famous for its unique natural beauty and excellent climate. Here, trails wind through 6000 acres of live oaks, yucca, and wildflowers, while deer, wild turkey, rabbits, and other wildlife share the surrounding countryside.Tucked away among the oak and juniper of the lovely, rolling landscape is a riding center where riders can take instruction or go for trail rides in the adjacent state park. The pleasant atmosphere of the ranch is in keeping with its tranquil setting as is the owner’s quiet and gentle approach to horses and students alike. This is an ideal destination for those who seek a good winter climate in the US, excellent training in riding basics and tranquility.

A number of different trails can be taken through 6,000 acres of rolling hills covered with live oak, juniper, yucca, mesquite, wild persimmon and many other trees and bushes. Your hostess, who is a native of the area, is thoroughly familiar with the varied and abundant flora and fauna to be seen on the trails as well as the country's history.
The pacing of the rides is moderate with trots and collected canters from time to time. Experienced riders will appreciate the ranch's well-bred and well trained Quarter Horses and beginners can benefit from the brief instruction given before and during the ride so that they too learn to feel and connect with their horses. Groups are small with no more than five riders led by an attentive guide. You will traverse a wide variety of Hill Country terrain and take new trails each day. The package includes 2 hours of trail riding per day. Private lessons are available at extra cost.

We loved every moment of riding! The guide is so knowledgeable, the horses so well-trained, and the facilities so good, we couldn't have wanted more! The week was ideal for us. We were all beginners and the organizer took this into account and made the rides appropriate.
