We arrived on time, checked in and signed the waivers. There are lots of farm cats and a dog just FYI. Once ready, you get a hay ride to the skeet shooting spot from your instructor. Once you arrive, your instructors take it from there - safety instructions, demos etc. We had a ton of fun! Many of us had never even shot a gun before so this was fun and competitive. Once that was done, we got to pet some of the horses and the team had helped us receive our lunch order (via DoorDash). We ended up taking our lunch back to our Airbnb because it was just so hot in the honkey tonk barn. Overall, I would go this again and even try the horse trail ride!

Maverick Horseback Riding is for people who want the real experience. Our guide Emily was wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable. She is a total pro. But you also have to give it up for the owner Joan Marie. She is friendly but very blunt. She is not there to play nice or baby you. She is there to teach you how to properly handle a horse. If you are shy or easily offended, you might want to look elsewhere. You need to be able to take direct feedback and use it to improve your riding game immediately. They start you off with the fundamentals like brushing, saddling, and mounting. You are expected to actually do the work. They even give you cowboy boots to wear which makes you feel right at home. I rode Sheila and we spent about thirty minutes on a short trail just reviewing the basics while Joan Marie gave proper instruction on what to do and what not to do. After that initial lesson, both ladies took us out on the trails for about an hour of riding. I think if we had gone to some other ranch that just let us be lazy rookies, we would not have had nearly as much fun. We left feeling like we actually accomplished something. Huge thanks to Emily and Joan Marie for a great day.

Nevertheless even at my most ruthless Suncrest would be deserving of top marks. I'm a rusty English rider who's searched for quite a while to find a decent riding school to polish up my pony skills at. And in finding them I've ridden a lot of sad tired horses on boring slow trails. Suncrest is an actual riding school though, with happy horses and decent teachers that watch and guide and modify your position - they worked me so hard my first class that I couldn't actually sit down the next day (or the three days after that..) Both the owner Stephanie - and their new teacher Hessy - are knowledgable, confident, safely conscious teachers - as an educator myself I'm hyper critical of other people who teach and I was impressed with their kind, critical evaluation of my riding and clear instructions for improvement. If you want to actually learn to ride instead of being stuck on a follow the leader trail - these guys are excellent. Safe. Reasonably priced and close enough to Austin to visit regularly.

Additionally, Hilltop is constantly improving the already awesome grounds and expanding. When looking for area stables for my daughter to train, we visited and interviewed many stables and stable owners. Gina at Hilltop was by far the most engaging and attentive.

My 4-year-old son loves coming to the barn to visit and to ride. I would highly recommend their lesson program. You will really learn how to care for horses as well as how to ride when you take lessons here. She is very detail oriented and a great teacher! I have ridden, competed, and taught for years before I had my son so I am very familiar with how a good barn is run. The facility is nice and well cared for and the horses are also very well taken care of. You won't find another place that loves their horses as much as Jen does!

I have seen reviews from parents that obviously know nothing about what it takes for your child to…read moreunderstand what it takes to being involved with a horse other than what they wear. It sounded like u had no understanding on their incorporation of the well being of your child as well as the horse. Obviously you wanted your childs experience to be "dress up, stand and then have the horse presented to them all tacked up and ready to go. I understand from some of the texts exchanged between the complaining client and the ranch response. You do not understand how much this type of program has to offer to your child and perhaps yourself If u do not understand the challenges that a ranch handles after an extreme rain. They are looking after their horses by not having them working in a rain soaked arena. (A horse could and probably would pull a tendon slip and fall with a child aboard including the injuries to the horse.) I have worked with the children of the military without charge. My only screening was I handed the child a stall picker and ask them to clean a stall. If they refused and no matter what the parents said I passed. My suggestion on the one parent complaining .... buy your child some jewelry. At least it has no requirements. My question to all parents what do u want your child to learn that will prepare them for their future. This type of program will not only benefit your child but could help his/her parents as well. Or, your child will grow up thinking life owes them and all they have to do is wait for what they want and life will hand it to them. OR, if they put hard work in there is a possibility of reaching the goals the have set for themselves and when they reach that goal it will give them the gift of pride in themselves.
