    Widowmaker Trail Ride along shores of Grapevine Lake.
    JANIE C.

    Beautiful wooded trails along Lake Grapevine shores. All the horses are good rides and handle easy enough for beginners. David is great at explaining all the things you need to know for a fun safe ride. I highly recommend his horses and his guided trail rides !!

    One of the best horse back riding trails I've ever been on! David was so informational and briefed us on exactly how to communicate with the horses. We trust David immensely, as he's truly a professional in the field. He was so charming and funny! Our friend group had a really good time. The route is also scenic with stunning lake views. David was so hospitable and took great care of us. Highly recommend!

    Great ride especially for beginners! I was worried because it had been years since I've been on a horse but David made it so smooth and the horses are so calm! 10/10 recommend

    David took our Singaporean Analytics team comprised of people from China, the Philippines, Pakistan, India, the Bahamas, Australia, Italy and more on their first trail ride ever! His short tutorial to get them started explained the mind of a horse and how to handle them - best I've ever heard. They felt so comfortable and in control right away and had BEST TIME EVER on a beautiful trail ride through the untouched woods of Southlake by Lake Grapevine. He also took great pictures along the trail ride and air dropped them quickly with the group, so they could stay in the moment and not worry about cameras. We had a large crowd so while he took a few riding, the others were with Lyin' Pete and his old west guns, who taught them how to shoot a Winchester rifle, a Colt 45 and 2 other old west guns with rubber bullets. Most had never held a gun and they were blown away by the experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND David, the perfect Cowboy Trail Boss for a team event!!!

    FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! This ride is good for the experienced and the non-experienced. David, the owner, is SUPER accommodating and will make sure you are comfortable while on the 2 hour trail ride. I went with a group of friends during our weekend in Dallas and all of us were pleased. David has a ton of great analogies that will really help you conceptualize the art of talking in the horse's language. The trail was absolutely beautiful and everything I envision for my future home in the country. The trail took us to a gorgeous lake just before the sun set for some great photo ops. By the end of it, all of us were pretty sore but felt like we definitely got our money's worth and were EXHAUSTED hahah. We definitely took a nap before going out that Saturday night. I highly recommend this place and if you are wanting to ride some horses on a nice trail - go to Widowmaker Trail Rides!

    I loved my horse so much

    Wow y'all ! Such an amazing experience. The horses are beautiful, well loved and cared for. An amazing ride the gentleman took pictures of us the whole time and airdropped them to us after the ride he took great pictures which you're not able to take because you're trying to make sure that you're doing what you're supposed to do on the horse. We were able to take the horses through a creek over a bridge a little bit into lake grapevine. Saw several deer. Was just an amazing experience. If u r looking for a place to rent and ride horses this is your guy and place

    Had the best time with family visiting from out of town. A perfect daytime bonding activity and an overall incredible experience.

    I had the best time. My horse, Scout, was very responsive and lovely. The owner also remembered all our names too which I always enjoy as a customer. On the way to the lake, we saw a coyote and a deer that just added to the beautiful ride. I'd definitely ride with them again and recommend them to anyone.

    There are not enough stars to give David and his business justice. While in Texas for work my work friends and I were on a crusade to do all things Texas. When i originally contacted David he was completely booked for the time we had available. After chatting a bit David offered to give us a call if he had cancellations. A day or so later David indeed called and we scheduled our ride. Of the four people in my group only two of us had ever been on a horse. Davids patience with us and ability to explain how to communicate with the horses was AMAZING. Our Saturday ride was by far our favorite Texas experience.. David lead 6 total people through the trails and maintained a great level of communication with all of us throughout the ride. When I return for future trips I will absolutely visit David and his horses again.

    I throughly enjoyed my ride today! David was so helpful and very animated. He made the ride easy. It was so peaceful and just what I needed to disconnect a bit and re-set! My horse was Ringo :)

    Belinda L.

    Incredible experience. Would definitely go again and highly recommend the experience to anyone. David was phenomenal!

    Nicole R.

    Two friends and I went over to Widowmaker Trail Rides this past week and we had the most amazing time! David was patient and very knowledgeable.. guided us the entire time and made us feel very comfortable being on and around the horses. We absolutely loved the experience and I will definitely be back.

    I absolutely love Widowmaker horseback riding. David the owner is awesome! I always ride Ringo. Twice a month Ringo is all mine. Make an appointment, you won't be disappointed!

    Ask the Community - Widowmaker Trail Rides

    Is this good for first timers? I would love too.

    I was a first time rider! Yes! Absolutely. He made sure I knew everything before we got started and double checked on how we were doing throughout the process.

    Is the trail ride slow or do they allow you to gallup or ride the horse fast?

    Slow. Into the trail, you'll start to trot and it'll be faster, but not as fast as galloping in an open field.

    Is it safe for 3-year-old kid?

    For 12 years old and up. No children. It says it on their website.

    How much for a 45 min or 1 hour ride?

    Sorry, but all rides are 2 hours. www.dallashorseback.com

    The boyfriend and I have come back now and this was our 2nd time coming to Marshall Creek Ranch! We…read morelove how laid back it is and.of course, the horses! The first time we came last year, they gave me the shortest horse because I was the shortest rider there! I rode Ziggy, and I was already attached. He's so cute-- I am a big David Bowie fan, so I have nicknamed him,"Mr. Stardust" LOL The first time we came, it had been some years since I had ridden a horse, and the same for the boyfriend. We did the easy walking trail ride-- this year we did the intermediate trotting trail and I asked to ride Ziggy again-- what can I say, I love him.. Although we were initially nervous for reservation cancellations due to the rain and being pushed back a day, they still had great communication as to whether or not we'd be able to have our trail ride. The respond via text message-- so be aware that if you call, they might not answer. The only time they DO call is when you're booking the reservation. It had been raining on and off and so they said the first time they were checking our specific trail, was when we were actually on it. We didn't get to trot as much as I wanted, but it was a little squishy in some areas. The staff is friendly and even take your photo at the end! My thing is that it is very hard to hear them talk when you're on the trail ride. It would be beneficial for them to carry a microphone or something.

    Yesterday was absolutely unforgettable! I checked off a lifelong bucket list item: riding a horse…read more Marshall Creek Ranch turned my dream into reality. We rode along serene trails and ended up beside a beautiful lake. We saw numerous deer that didn't even spook the horses. It was so peaceful hearing nature up close and personal. The ranch patiently provided us with training before taking us out. By far, the best time of my life! The horses were so calm The staff were so gentle and really helped us first time riders feel at ease, making our horseback riding a therapeutic experience.
