    Texas Trail Rides is located off the beaten path on Lone Star Ranch. From the moment we drove onto the ranch, we felt like we were transported into real "Texas." The horses and the staff made our evening ride such an enjoyable experience. The horses were well trained and were easy to ride even for beginners. The trail we rode on was quite scenic and one of my favorite parts of the ride was the creek that we rode through in the beginning of the ride. Our guide was friendly and informative about the horses and the ranch. I was impressed with the ranch and especially appreciated how all of the horses seemed to be well taken care of and were excited to go on the ride. The day we went was nearly 100 degrees so I was a bit concerned with the heat for the horses but our guide reassured me that the horses were used to this type of heat. I would recommend Texas Trail Rides for anyone interested in horse back riding in the Austin area.

    I scheduled a summer day camp for two of my kids, and a Buckaroo class for my youngest who just turned 4. It took a couple tries to get through on the phones, but once I did, the staff were super friendly and helpful in getting us booked. I had questions about days and scheduling, and the owner Ms. Tina was able to get on the phone and make things happen for me. As the day of camp approached, they sent an email reminder and a while sheet of stuff to bring, to leave behind, and what to expect. The drive to the ranch from Circle C was pretty straightforward, though I did have to make a U-turn when I missed the turn into their driveway (it's was hard for me to see the numbers). Their new Lonestar Ranch is great. They've done a great job landscaping and maintaining it. Ms. Kara led a fabulous Buckaroo class. She went through the basics of brushing and cleaning a horse, and then led him on a 20-30ish min ride. So perfect! I'd highly recommend this for anyone with a toddler/youngster. My kids LOVED the horses, the counselors, and the entire camp. They're begging to return. Thanks Tina!

    I did not want to leave this place! I haven't been riding in years and this place, the people, the horses (of course), were TOP notch. Madison was the BEST guide. Definitely coming back for rides, and hopefully lessons! Shoutout to Zorro. :)

    My long-distance boyfriend from Western New York has never been on a horse before, and I had to make sure we didn't leave Texas one last time before getting him on a solid Texas Hill Country trail ride. Thankfully, Texas Trail Rides set it up for us when we were in a pinch! I called Texas Trail Rides at Lonestar Ranch around 8:30 this morning asking if they had any last minute rides that my long-distance boyfriend and I could jump in on before we flew back to his home in Western New York later this afternoon. Luckily, they had availability and got us on a trail ride at noon. They set you up with your horse based on your height, weight, and experience. Horses have personalities, as well, and some can get pretty stubborn, kind of like when we get hangry when we need to eat! Anyways, they set us up with our horses, taught the newbies how to steer a horse, and how to comfortably hold the reins while sitting in your saddle - and off we went!! We seriously got lucky because the weather was beautiful, the Texas wildflowers were all in bloom, and EVERYTHING was green. I was born and raised in Austin, so I didn't take it in until I noticed that the couple we rode with (they were from Virginia) were really ohhh-ing and ahhhh-ing over the scenery. After we came home and told my family how much fun we had, they all said they were very jealous and want to take my niece out for an outing once she is old enough to climb up on a horse! Hopefully, I can get my WNY boyfriend back out there again so he can feel more comfortable on the back of a horse. Plus, I think it would be awesome to see the rest of Lonestar Ranch and try out their skeet + trap shoot, axe throwing, archery, and definitely do some barrel racing!

    We were supposed to just have a quick 45 minute trail ride, but since it rained so much the night before, the water in the creek rose and the trail was wet and muddy. Who would have thought instead of canceling on us or having us reschedule, the owner Tina went out of her way to give our bachelorette party the best time ever. She set us up in the arena and with her cowgirls and cowboys, we were given instructions on how to not only ride our horses, but round up some young cows and do some barrel racing (much slower motion on our end. Lol.) We also got to learn to rope a "steer" (a fake one of course). If it were real, I think it would have end up roping us. The girls had THE BEST time. The bachelorette even said this made her want to take up horseback riding if she could one day. She loved it so much. Well, hopefully we will be back. Thank you so much Tina and Co. for all your wonderful hospitality. We will not forget what an amazing time we had there. This was definitely the highlight of our bachelorette weekend.

    So I am visiting Austin by myself for a few days and really wanted to go on a ride. I called them a few days in advance to make reservations. They had plenty of days and times available, so very flexible. I also got a confirmation email with all the do's and don'ts to prepare for the ride (long pants, closed shoes, some water, etc.). Today I went on a 1.5h trail ride at the new Lonestar Ranch location which is only 15 minutes from the center of Austin! It was super easy to find when you plug in the address into your gps and then look for their sign on the main road. All of the staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. I showed up in time, signed the waiver, got my helmet and was ready to go. I was the only person on the ride, along with my wonderful guide. The owner, Miss Tina was so nice, giving me her personal cutest cupcake named Batman. I loved him! Since this ranch is new, we went to explore some of the trails. Some spots are out in the sun but most of the time there are enough trees and branches to keep you shaded. The trails are narrow (but wide enough to maneuver around) so you do ride mostly in a single file. You cross the creek a few times, so your horse can grab a sip and you get a minute to breathe. It was a really relaxing nature experience and definitely a good break from all the Downtown Austin buzz.

    The best experience

    Had such a wonderful time Missy was the sweetest Cowgirl ever. The horses Astro and Blaze were sweet, kind and gentle with the kids. We loved everything about our experience and hope to be back soon xoxoxo

    Riding trails in springtime

    Great outing in a gorgeous wooded setting with friendly & knowledgable guides. Spend about 90min around Onion Creek enjoying the springtime on old jeep roads and single track through the oaks. Would recommend to ATX locals and visitors alike.

    We were so enthralled we didn't get pictures of the best parts. So beautiful!!

    WE HAD THE BEST TIME!!! Ariel was our guide, she was brilliant, fun, patient and knowledgeable! We are experienced riders so we were offered some more challenging trails and the teenagers were having a blast! We all loved our horses... Lady, Chance and Ziggy! Well probably ask for the same horses and Definitely Ariel next time, and they're will be many more next times! Do yourself a favor and give this place your business. We were so happy to see the work they put into rescuing and rehabbing horses in need and very pleased by how well the horses were cared for! I can't say enough wonderful things!! Wonderful day with the just me and a couple teenagers having the time of their life!!

    What a fabulous gem in southeast Austin! We went on a 45 min trail ride on horseback. The horses are well-trained and so very sweet. I rode Zorro. The trail was beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed every minute with our trail guide, Shelby. The staff is very friendly and follow safety protocol to keep clients safe while having fun. They offer other services (such as archery, i believe) and host public and private events. We will definitely be back.

    Very fun and enjoyable ride. Rachel our Wrangler was super cool and knowledgeable, could tell she knows the horses and their personalities. The trail goes back into a forrested area with a creek, very secluded and peaceful beautiful area. We came to find out they take in rescues from neglected animals there all about giving animals the best best quality and care. If we are ever back im Austin we'll be back for another ride.... Thanks again for a great time

    Me and my daughter plan on visiting town this weekend, she is 5. I was hoping to take her on a trail ride and was wondering if she would be able to ride WITH ME on these tours?…

    Hi Chloe! We are so excited to have y'all out to The Ranch! Our Trail Rides are for those 5 years and older. However, children at the age of 5 and 6 must be led on the trails by the trail guide. Unfortunately, we do not offer any tandem riding due… Read more

    Is it good for 3 year olds my nephew really wants to ride a horse?

    I think their age limit starts at 9. They are completely alone riding and have to control the horse. So 3 would be too young for this ride.

    What is the cost?

    I believe it was $150

The location itself looks very rustic on the outside, but inside it's cool, modern and has plenty of seating. You'll find plenty of shade trees and two water stations along with some nonalcoholic drink options. There's no food truck on site, but they do offer a charcuterie board and I was told you can now bring your own grub (still might want to call and confirm though). At the bar inside you'll find a listing of their ciders including some guest taps that rotate. There's two unisex bathrooms near the bar and two sinks on the outside where everyone can watch you wash your hands. It should be mentioned that there is one oddity about this property and that is the small McCuistian family cemetery just a few hundred feet west of the driveway (see separate review). And if that cemetery is not enough to get your attention, the huge Live Oak cemetery is directly next-door with over a thousand graves to peruse through (yes, I reviewed that one too). So if you're looking for a place that produces high-quality craft cider and enjoy the rustic Hill country setting, this is it. A couple of items to note, Friday night is movie night on a big screen outside and on weekends they have live bands. 10 informative photographs included.
