Two Hours
Up to Two Children people
Meet & brush horse, Arena ride
Give your child a gentle first riding experience at Rockin' Star Ranch with a self-paced session and a guided arena ride. They’ll spend time bonding with a horse before heading into the covered arena.
Closed-toe shoes are required, and long pants are strongly recommended. You’ll be asked to complete a short questionnaire and sign a waiver before your ride.
Non-refundable unless you cancel at least 14 days before the scheduled ride. No refund for cancellations within 14 days. If weather makes riding unsafe, you can reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice; rescheduled rides must be booked within 6 days of the original date, subject to availability.
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
Guests consistently rave about the warm hospitality from Darrell, Julie, and Vivian, who create an incredibly welcoming atmosphere on this beautiful Texas property. The two-hour trail rides are a standout, with many reviewers appreciating that they get to brush, feed, and even tack up their own horses before heading out. The animals are clearly well-cared for, and the property itself is stunning with 150+ acres to explore, complete with various farm animals, a pool, and comfortable accommodations for overnight stays. What makes this spot special is the hands-on experience. You're not just sitting on a horse following a guide; you're learning about ranch life, meeting friendly farm dogs, and getting a genuine feel for country living. First-timers and experienced riders alike praise the staff's patience and knowledge. The location near Brenham adds convenience, giving you access to good restaurants and the charm of a small Texas town. One guest did mention a parking incident during an event, though the owners worked to address it. Overall, this is a peaceful escape that delivers exactly what you'd hope for in an authentic ranch experience.
