This place was great find by our friends, while on vacation in San Antonio. We were celebrating our…read morefriends sons sixth birthday with his request to go horseback riding. From the time we arrived we were greeted with warm Texas welcome. The staff and guide Tori were very helpful and made my wife, who is uncomfortable around horses, feel at ease. The ride was very enjoyable but waiting to get on was just as nice. The kids played with the dogs (including Harley the pug) running freely on the property and were able to interact with some of the horses prior to the ride. The ride was quite long for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed every moment of it. It really made our friends son feel like a special little dude. If you are in this area and looking to do horseback riding, hollow tree is the place to be!

My son thought the staff (all 10-18 yr olds) were friendly and nice. The trail ride though, was…read moreextremely boring. It is literally a loop around the very flat property. The horses plotted along, were very well behaved but it is definitely a trail ride for young kids and beginners. Not scenic or fun. The kids were very nice and the horses were very docile.

After only seven months I finally rescued my horse from T/-. That may sound harsh, but to use any…read moreother word than "rescued" would be giving this place more credit than it deserves. I had long suspected that they weren't feeding my horse, so I started keeping track. Sure enough, they were skipping her feeds which violates the initial contract agreement we had to sign. If she had even one bite of hay in her pen, they would skip giving her hay (which poses a problem since I'm paying for daily hay). When it rains, the pens get saturated and don't drain for days. They don't clean out pens and no one ever checks the algae-infested water. My last major complaint is that texting or calling the manager of the place results in absolutely nothing being done to resolve our concerns. Every time I mentioned (to the manager, to the barn help) that my horse wasn't fed, everyone points fingers and no one takes accountability. I'll wrap up this review with a strong urging to avoid T/- like the plague. You get what you pay for, and if all you care about is cheap boarding, then that's exactly what you'll get. Don't expect anything else. And finally, some stats: -From April 2023 to June 2023, my horse was not given feed more than one third of the time -While we boarded, again for seven months, we saw at least half a dozen sets of barn help come and go, which means there's a problem with how employees are treated or there's a problem with hiring -My horse was left out to pasture for 3 weeks after a major rain (and I was not consulted or asked if that was OK, because I most certainly would have said no that is not OK) -100% of the boarders I've spoken to have said they show up daily to feed and care for their horses because if they don't then care isn't guaranteed

What a wonderful experience with Sara at Gypsy Farms!! We were ending a two week trip around the…read moreregion and all our six year old son wanted to do on this trip was "ride a horse like a cowboy!" We were striking out everywhere we called either due to the heavy rains leading up to our arrival or just lack of availability. I found Gypsy Farms on Yelp, read the one outstanding review and took a chance. Sara emailed me back the same day and despite the short notice, she fit us in our last night in San Antonio and was extremely responsive in our email exchange. And what an awesome experience for our son! She spent a full hour one-on-one with him - teaching him how to brush, bridle and saddle the horse; then getting him into the ring to ride for a solid 25 minutes learning how to control the horse's movements. She even got him comfortable enough to go off the lead and control the horse on his own and to walk the horse through the obstacle course. All in all, we were absolutely thrilled! Sara was not only extremely professional, but super friendly and interested in helping our son enjoy his first real horse riding experience. Plus, it's clear that her horses are well loved and cared for. And she's even rescued 12 horses since living in Texas the last 4 years. Needless to say, he's hooked now! Thanks again, Sara!!
