Wear closed-toe shoes. Long pants are strongly recommended for comfort and to help prevent rubbing while riding.
Complete a short questionnaire about riding experience so the ranch can match you with a suitable horse, and review and sign the waiver.
Approach horses calmly from the side, keep voices and movements quiet and slow, don’t walk behind horses, stay about an arm’s length away unless your instructor guides you, and follow your guide’s instructions.
Rockin' Star Ranch Brenham
Darrell, Julie, and the rest of the team here have built something genuinely special. Guests consistently rave about the warm, personal hospitality and the patience shown to first-time riders. The trail rides go beyond just sitting on a horse, with guests brushing, saddling, and walking the horses themselves, making it feel like a real ranch experience rather than a tourist activity. The property itself draws a lot of praise too, with beautiful Texas scenery, well-cared-for horses, and a surprisingly diverse collection of animals including goats, lemurs, baby deer, and friendly farm dogs. The ranch works well for a wide range of visits, from overnight stays and weddings to quick two-hour trail rides. Families, couples, and solo travelers all seem to leave feeling like they got more than they bargained for. The overwhelming pattern across reviews is that people feel genuinely welcomed, not just accommodated, and many mention wanting to return or already planning their next visit.
I can’t say enough great things about Rockin’ Star Ranch! The ranch is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. The cabins are adorable, comfortable, and stocked with everything you need—even your own grill outside. Darrell was a wonderful host—welcoming, knowledgeable, and so much fun to talk to. He took us on a beautiful, relaxing horseback ride around the ranch, which was definitely a highlight of our stay! We weren’t there for an event, but we did see the event space, and it would be an amazing place for a wedding. My only regret is that we stayed for just one day! We will definitely be back, and next time we’re staying longer. ❤️
