    My husband and I took a 5 year anniversary trip to Waco and visited Brazos Bluffs Ranch. Horseback riding was our favorite part of the trip. Our guides were super friendly and helpful. The ranch kitten, Scout, was adorable and followed us throughout the trail ride. He got tired and had to be carried on the way back to the stables. It was so cute! Highly recommend Brazos Bluffs Ranch if you are in the area.

    Kylie and her helper were so sweet and down to earth, they really made it a comfortable experience for my boyfriend and I even though we have limited horse riding abilities lol. The trail was beautiful too, there were plenty of wildflowers and we even saw some deer!
    Best part of our entire trip

    Awesome Day at Brazos Bluffs!

    We had a amazing time riding at Brazos Bluffs Ranch! Kylie and Maddie really know their stuff. They ran us through a quick training session so even the most inexperienced and nervous were comfortable. Then they took us on some of the most beautiful trails in the Texas Hill Country. Loved riding up to the Brazos River Overlook.
    Awesome

    As we were horse riding novices, our guide went to a lot of effort to teach us the basics of what was required to enjoy our trail ride.

    Outstanding ride!
    Janet_P, Aug 2022
    This experience was stellar. It was more than we were expecting. We were all beginners and came out unscathed. The trail was amazing and wasn't all easy which we loved. We will remember this forever and we hope to come back with other family members.

    Tiffany_R, Mar 2022
    The horseback riding was exactly what we needed to slow down and take a break from the work life. The scenery was beautiful. Kylie and Cody were fantastic guides. They handled our husbands craziness and jokes like a pro!! We definitely will be back for the sunset ride and s’mores!!
