Very responsive to texts and calls Great ride. Horses, and staff great to work with. beautiful scenery, easy to get lost in your thoughts and just ride. All ages and experience levels.

We had a great time riding. My horse was being a bit uncooperative but I'm a newbie so I guess it's expected. It was a good experience. I learned a few things about the horses but wish they would have gave us all a little pep talk or tips/ tricks before we jumped on the horses and not while we were already on the horses. Perhaps a little background on horses, the ranch, the trail, etc. would be beneficial. Overall we had fun.

See adalina v., erin t , lynn l., comments. I agree totally. r Relaxing ride and nice guides but very disappointing environment.

Horse trying to lay down and stumbling.
Erin T.

I came here excited for a horseback riding trip, especially seeing that others here had a good experience but was very concerned and disappointed about a handful of things: 1. The 6 horses in the corral seemed very lethargic 2. They were pretty dirty, most of them had burrs tangled all over their manes and the ones that didn't have a lot of burrs in their manes had very sparse and stringy manes 3. The hooves looked like they need to be cut and were splitting on the ends 4. One horse was swaying and stumbling a lot, almost laying down a few times but getting back up (typically a bad sign). This horse also has a crescent shaped area on the back left ankle that had no hair and this leg seemed difficult for the horse to stand on 5. Broken glass scattered around and inside the corral where the horses were 6. There were at least 3 dogs on the property and they were very friendly but at least 2 of them looked under weight We were pretty concerned with the state of the horse I mentioned in #4 so I brought this up to the guy who met us when we got there and was friendly at first as he was saddling 2 more horses (which looked fine) that I thought that horse looked sick and why. He seemed a little irritated and told me that horse likes to stretch her back legs that way and is strong (didn't look strong to me and the stretching did not look intentional at all) and if I were so concerned, I could untie her and walk her around. She was already untied and I don't find it appropriate to tell me to walk around a horse that I don't know and think is sick, especially without supervision. We decided that we didn't feel good about riding these horses based on the stuff above and told him we decided to not go on the ride. He was definitely irritated at that and asked why. We said we didn't have a good feeling and he responded with, "Whatever! I'm kinda a professional." Then walked off. Having been around horses and been horseback riding before, I was very concerned with their state of being and thought it was the right thing to bring it to the attention of the employee/owner. I was very disappointed in the un-assuring response to the stumbling, lethargic horse and rude response to us saying we didn't have a good feeling about it.

I had such a great time here with my boyfriend. Really friendly people and most importantly, amazing horses. It was only my second time riding a horse but they were really well trained and knew to follow David, our nice trail ride guide. The ranch was really pretty and big. Most places don't offer trail rides, and I think this place is very reasonable in price. Calling to make an appointment was super easy because they were nice and accommodating. If you have never been on a horse and love nature, give it a try and you'll want to go back just so you'll feel like you're in a western movie.

This was one of the best travel I have ever had. The staff were very kind and down to earth especially DAVID. They extended their generosity and hospitality. We were a group of five people. By all means, we enjoyed our time. The horses were prepared well and very safe. The ranch was fabulous and stunning. I am coming back again to have fun.

Went on a family trail ride without two kids ages 9 and 12. Gabby and Evan had a blast and our trail leader was awesome in showing my youngest son the ropes. We got there a little early and got a chance to feed a baby calf and groom out horses before the ride. Overall great experience and the owners were extremely welcoming to us! We will definitely be back

I also got this package as a surprise birthday gift from my wonderful boyfriend, so I did not know I was going horseback riding until 10 minutes before we arrived. I can't exactly comment on how setting up the appointment was. I was not too happy with the service at first because we were told that it started at 9:45 and we were supposed to arrive 20 minutes early. We were there by 9:25, and were trying to figure out where to park. There were a few signs telling us where to go, but then it just stopped, so we just parked near the shed. The family dogs were very nice and greeted us, but they were the only ones. After about 5 minutes another car showed up, and we all waited for about 15 minutes before calling the contact number. No one answered. Someone finally came in a golf cart about another 15 minutes and told us they would get someone to help us. After waiting another 10 minutes or so, a guy in his early 20's came and introduced himself. He was very nice, and he proceeded to get the horses and then saddle them up. We finally got a call back, but David had already come. They explained that her phone ran out of batteries and apologized. Gathering and setting up the horses took another 20 minutes. I was a little nervous because this was my first time, but he helped us onto our horses and showed us the ropes. That took about 10 minutes. He was very helpful though. It was just all the waiting that wasn't exactly pleasant. It wasn't exactly cool outside with the sun beating down. Make sure you bring sunblock! Jeans and close toed shoes are also a good idea. The ride itself was very peaceful. David was very attentive, lead the way, stayed close, and made small talk with all of us. The land was fairly big. The horses were well-behaved and followed our guide, but we were taught how to make the horse go left, right, stop, and such just in case. My horse's name was Strawberry, and it must have forgotten to eat or something because it stopped to eat every minute! It was very cute though and did not stop for long periods of time. The other car that came had a dad and his little girl. David made sure she got the most well-behaved horse named Sue, and Sue did a very good job. The little girl had two minor scares going down a steep hill and dropping her reins, but nothing big. No one got hurt. She still had a wonderful time. The beginning could have been much better with less waiting around, but the actual trail ride was nice. It was supposed to be an hour long ride, but our was only about 35 minutes, which was much shorter than our wait time...

My 6 year old riding

My daughter and I purchased a 1 hour trail ride at broken bow ranch. It was wonderful. The guides were very nice and patient with my 6 years old questions. She wants to go again soon. The horses wee very calm and followed the trail with minimal guidance. Perfect for children and new riders. The only negative is the dirt road to get down to the area. It is very difficult to drive in a car with many dips and deep holes. (I drive a civic) Overall I would do this again!

He was very patient and approachable for any questions we had. The trail ride was 50 minutes through a scenic forest near the Trinity River. It is a very relaxing ride with very gentle horses there is a small obstacle course in the middle of the trail that makes it extra fun. Each writer is matched with an equal size horse for safety.

When we arrived we signed the consent forms in the office and were walked to the area where we got on the horses. We got a quick safety lesson and then we used their mounting steps to get on the horses. I really appreciated this because I'm very short and I was nervous about being able to get on and off safely. The trail ride was the perfect length. We went at 130pm on a 90 degree day and were comfortable because of all the shade throughout the ride. There are some large fields with no trees though so if it's super hot there will be times when the sun is too much. Our trail guide Isaiah was phenomenal and always warned us when there were low trees or areas to avoid. All in all, highly recommend. At $60/person it was also super affordable.

SATURDAY EVENING at 7pm less than 24 hours before the ride I get this message Hey Larry. There was a miscommunication between myself and Jeff. The ride tomorrow is unfortunately fully booked. My name is Kambry with Widowmaker Trail Rides. The lady who usually sets people up for rides is out so things are all out of whack. I RESPONDED That is unacceptable. I have a guest coming in from out of town. So you need to do something. Something earlier or something. I planned this and you gave me confirmation. Kambry then said Who gave you confirmation? We only confirm rides when we receive a deposit I then said Let's not do that. YOUR PEOPLE: I have 2 spots Sunday from 6-8 pm ME:Great I'll take them.

He will call you shortly. My ride filled up before Kambry could call you but she should have called yesterday and told you immediately. Jeff I asked Okay does the time change? Jeff said I'm not sure but he will call you shortly and you can work that out. NO ONE CALLED. SO AT 9:34 I said It's 9:30 I haven't heard from anyone. That's not a good look Jeff responded This ride isn't going to work. Do whatever it was that you were planning to do tomorrow before you called yesterday last minute to try and schedule a ride with us this weekend. I read your text with Kambry as well as your text above and it would not be a good fit. So I guess people that call last minute get lies. I responded I will definitely include this in my yelp review. It's obvious you don't keep your word. Pitiful I had someone coming in town for this ride. DO NOT USE THEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

Cindy had texted me letting me know a gentleman had got our 2 stalls ready and will be waiting on us to help get horses settled in and help us get our trailer hooked up. Then I told Cindy we were heading to the vet the next morning in Oklahoma and she asked what was going on. Once I told her she gave me multiple phone numbers and references if I needed and was very helpful.
