The Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge is located in Los Fresnos,…read moreTX. My daughters and I drove around this refuge back on May 28, 2025. It was raining off and on, so hiking was a no-go since we had no rain gear. This amazing section of diverse landscape is comprised of 110,000 acres. "The refuge is home to an incredible biodiversity with more than 450 plant varieties, 417 species of birds documented, 130 types of butterflies, 45 mammal species, 44 reptile and amphibian varieties and approximately 40 fish species." Because it is a "national" refuge (part of the title was left out of the Yelp business page), fishing is allowed and there are public hunts offered here as part of conservation. This includes for alligator (hook & line only), archery deer, exotics (e.g. nilgai antelope), and white-tailed deer. Feral hog hunting is unlimited. Of high importance to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is refuge management of "the two remaining breeding populations of ocelots." We never saw any, but just watch NBC's "The Americas." They have footage of those beautiful little endangered cats. Annual passes were $9 while day passes were $2.50. Works Cited https://www.fws.gov/refuge/laguna-atascosa

We were only in town for a few more days. He said he could. He asked about rider weights (limit of 240) for horse safety. Thankfully hubby is right under. We arranged to meet and pay for our ride. Pud met us at the stables. We signed our wavers and we agreed on our meeting time of 6:30 the next day. We arrived and our ride couldn't have gone any better. Absolutely breathtaking beautiful views. Pud was a pleasant and polite host. I can't wait to return to ride again with him. Thank you!

Review of The Stables Reviewed 3 days ago Booked a evening ride for September 15, 2021 with that Pud. Was told we needed to pay cash cause cc machine was not working and to pay in advance. Pud called and said something came up and could we reschedule for 8:30 am the next morning. We show up at 8:15 am and he is a no show. Tried calling from my friends # who made the reservation but no answer. I told her to let me try from my #. He answered on the second ring. I told him we want our money back and I put a chain and lock on his gate and would remove it when he refunds our money. He came WITH our refund and I removed the lock. His horse's look very unhealthy and starved :( I took pictures. Date of experience: September 2021
