On Friday 7/12 I booked a ride for Sunday evening 214-478-2448 Here is the conversation Let's not do that. YOUR PEOPLE: I have 2 spots Sunday from 6-8 pm ME:Great I'll take them. Your PEOPLE: What are your heights and weights and how many times have each of you ridden a horse before?ME: 5'2 120 5'6 230 4-6 times YOUR PEOPLE: Ok. The location is 100 Equestrian Drive, Southlake, Texas 76092 and I need you there by 5:45 pm. Kambry will call you later and get your cc# for the reservation.thanks, JeffNO ONE EVER CALLED FOR CREDIT CARD INFO. 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. Your PEOPLE: What are your heights and weights and how many times have each of you ridden a horse before?ME: 5'2 120 5'6 230 4-6 times YOUR PEOPLE: Ok. The location is 100 Equestrian Drive, Southlake, Texas 76092 and I need you there by 5:45 pm. Kambry will call you later and get your cc# for the reservation.thanks, JeffKambry then says Let me talk to Jeff. Hang tight. At 8:13pm Jeff says Larry, My partner David can take you two tomorrow. He will call you shortly. My ride filled up before Kambry could call you but she should have called yesterday and told you immediately. JeffI 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 lookJeff 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.

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!

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

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!

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!!!
