Dave was a generous host and an entertaining guide. My horse, Chip, was safe and steady, yet responsive to a light touch. The countryside was lovely and there were a few opportunities to trot or go slightly faster if you wanted. All round a good introduction to Texas and Western riding, especially for novice riders. Good value at USD 80... More

This was such an enjoyable ride for some novice horse back riders. Dave took his time training us on everything we needed to know. He fit us each with a beautiful horse. We forgot our water and Dave was quick to point us to his fridge to each grab one. He knows the trails very well (as do the horses),... More

For a couple of relaxing hours, even for those who have never been on a horse, try a trail ride around Lake Grapevine with David and Jeff. They know how to make all the riders comfortable in the saddle while providing riding hints and dialogues about the area. My hotel [Richardson Hilton Garden Inn] "found" Widowmaker Trail Rides for me... More

My entire experience was perfect. From making reservations to brushing down the horses. David made sure that everything went smoothly and it did. His horses are very well trained and obedient. The location of the stable is very convenient. It was only a 10 minute drive from the hotel at Southlake. I could not ask for a better horseback riding... More

We were a little concerned to find ourselves in a groomed, suburban neighborhood. Then we arrived at Davaid Alexander's beautiful property connecting to a thousand acres of beauty. This was the best trail ride I have ever ridden, including the one in Maui. Two hours-- lovely periods of open vegetation, long stretches of deep woods during which the only thing... More

We had an awesome time on our two hour ride with Dave. My 15 year-old step-daughter had never been on a horse. Dave gave her excellent instruction and information about horses and riding. Dave was patient with us from start to finish - especially when I was having trouble getting off the horse at the end of the ride --... More

Coming from the Channel Islands & having ridden there & in France we wanted to have a ride in Texas. David was lovely. His instructions made me feel the most confident I have felt handling a horse. The scenery was beautiful & David was friendly & interested in what we had to say as well as informative. The horses were... More

My wife and I celebrated our first anniversary by going on a sunset ride and we both loved it. The fact that such a beautiful ride is so close to the city is amazing. We will be back for more rides and would suggest it to anyone, even those who have never riden.

My husband and I went to Texas and found this trail ride on our way back. It was a 2 hour ride which we were glad to do more than just an hour. We did not have a hard time finding the place, just were not sure the location was correct as the neighborhood is not what I pictured for... More

Went with my son and my husband. I'm pretty experienced with horses, but my family....not so much. We did a two hour ride, and thoroughly enjoyed going around the lake. The guide took pictures of us on our horses, for keepsakes. Beautiful trail, and good horses. Worth it.
