Birthday trail ride
Birthday ride for my daughter-in-laws and myself was wonderful! Weather was perfect, scenery green with a nice little creek, and Jordan, our Wrangler, was sweet and knowledgeable. The horses, especially Charlie!, were so gentle and accommodating for an inexperienced rider like myself. Really enjoyable!

Awesome Trail ride, must do while in Austin
This is our second trail ride and we enjoyed every minute. We took the 90 minute ride and it still went by so fast. The horses are well cared for and know the trails well. Very gentle too. If I lived in town I’d be there more often. I’ll be back on my next trip. Must do!

Amazing family riding experience
My wife and daughter went on a trail ride and had the most amazing time. The staff was very supportive as it was my 6 year old daughter first riding. When they returned go w they couldn’t speak enough of how much fun they had. We are now booking her seventh birthday there in October. I am sure her and her friends

Great afternoon with Kelsey

Mar 2021

Online reservations and emailed follow up were all timely, easy, and accurate. On the day of our reservation we were greeted promptly and enthusiastically. Thanks to others cancelling the two of us were treated to a private trail ride with our wrangler Kelsey. Kelsey was very kind and knowledgeable, engaging, and thorough from the time we stepped into the ring to meet our horses until the moment we said goodbye. Prices were competitive. Our ride was very nice though woods and fields and away from traffic and other city distractions. Our horses were great and the other guests we encountered were all very friendly. I'd definitely give these folks another try the next time I'm down in Austin with a free afternoon.

5 Stars !! Best trail ride ever !

Apr 2020 • Family

Went and checked out Texas Trail Rides today, April 2020. I cannot say enough good things about this place.
First off the place is amazing, the indoor arena is perfect, all of the horses are WELL taken care of and gorgeous. They have horses for every level rider from beginner-advanced even for the little kids ! Gunner is probably the sweetest horse I’ve ever come across. We rode down the trail and got to ride through the creek (come on, who doesn’t want to ride a horse through water!!) this is the perfect get away just minutes from Downtown Austin. Tina the owner is amazing as well as the staff, they are all extremely knowledgeable, patient and down to earth. During this crazy coronavirus we are all going through, they were very careful and aware of keeping distance from each other and having hand sanitizer readily available. You can tell that Health and Safety of their guests, employees and horses is the #1 priority. What a better time than now to get out of the house and take a relaxing, scenic trail ride on some great horses.

Super great guides and incredibly friendly animals. The long ride is completely worth the price

Feb 2020

I've never had any real horseback riding experience but didn't have any problem during the ride. The horse was super friendly and nice, and the guides have been so, so, so helpful and encouraging. The entire ride was tranquil and still exciting and absolutely surpassed my expectations.

Lone Star Ranch is also totally worth the visit by itself. There were 6 kittens and a pup that would follow you to get head scratches. Everybody there loved horses and animals in general. I'd absolutely go back.

Highly recommend

Jul 2020 • Family

We had an amazing time on our trail ride here. The property is beautiful and very well kept. All of the staff were extremely sweet and welcoming. This was my son’s first time riding a horse and he fell in love with it. The ride was beautiful and we got to walk through Onion Creek and the scenery was serene and peaceful. Our guide Annabelle was wonderful. You could tell how much she loved her job and horses. She made my son feel very comfortable and taught him a lot about horses, chatting during the ride. She was very professional yet fun and she really made the whole experience that much better. I would highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful trail ride! My sister was visiting from New York and we had a group with a range of experience, but the staff and their amazing horses made it a really special experience.

The ranch is beautiful and so convenient to downtown Austin. Couldn't recommend more.

Well run experience

Aug 2021

Little father/son get away and picked TTR because of the reviews. They didn't disappoint. Our Wrangler (Sawyer) was really great, and the staff and facility also did a great job on the whole experience. We'll definitely be going back.

Well behaved horses, amazing trail, friendly wrangler!

Jul 2021

I had so much fun riding Dewy on a beautiful, beautiful trail (crossing a creek, going through amazing wooded area with huge trees right in the middle of Austin!). It's quite an escape from city life, completely removed from everything! The wrangler (Maggie) was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and she seemed great with kids, too. I had an unforgettable day!

Date Night Option that follows COVID-19 Guidelines

Dec 2020 • Couples

What a great date option and very beginner friendly. This is a great activity to enjoy safely during COVID-19. You must keep your mask on during check-in and orientation but once you are on the horse and riding, the mask can come off as you are a safe distance from others and mother nature takes care of air quality.
Our guide was Madison and she was great at matching the horses to our strengths . Riding through the beautiful trail was so worth it and very picturesque. We will definitely check out this place again.

Amazing trail ride experiencec

Jan 2023

This was a really fun, relaxing time. Our trail guide, was very friendly and was easy to have conversation with. The trails were fun, the horses were well behaved, and this was the highlight of our trip to Texas! My friend and I are both equestrians, so we got to do some of the more advanced trails which was a blast. Highly recommend. I will definitely book again when I am in Austin!
