We loved it!

My daughter and her friend had an unforgettable time at Cypress Trails Ranch with Ranch Hand Cici. The serene trails, gentle horses, and expert guidance made for a magical experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable horseback riding adventure in a picturesque setting. Thanks, Cypress Trails Ranch, for creating such wonderful memories!

Wonderful experience!

Did a 3 hour ride with a beautiful Arabian cross named Bedias and he took great care of me. Cece, my wrangler, paired us well and we were able to walk & trot even with some cantering. I had an amazing time! I loved the how Cece trusted my experience and we just let the horses do what they love to do. Horses were under great care & supervision. I highly recommend booking a ride with them. Be honest about your experience and trust the staff to take care of the rest!

Awesome time!

We had such a great time! Staff were very helpful, friendly and made the experience enjoyable. I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing. Matt made the ride educational and interactive for everyone. For a first time rider I felt very comfortable on the horse. Would definitely recommend this to everyone and would love to come back!

Phenomenal!

I never imagined there was an accessible horse riding place so close to Houston. The staff was so helpful and kind. I brought my mom who only speaks Spanish, and the horse caretakers made sure to provide clear instructions for me to translate to my mom. The horses were good and very well taken care of at this establishment. Their trails are easy to ride and have lots of tree shading. I fully recommend this place for anyone interested in riding a horse in Houston!

Highly recommended!

Had so much fun. This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and made the perfect ending to my trip to Houston. All of the instructions are super friendly and helpful. From the moment we walked up they were welcoming and made us feel like a part of the family. They gave us a lot of information and really helped us get over our fears of being on the horses. Perfect for beginners! And I loved Crow, I wanna take him back with me.
