Our experienced wranglers choose the appropriate horse for each rider and help people to feel comfortable, learn at their own pace and to ride safely. The horseback rides at the Silver Spur are scenic with our panoramic hills, meadows and areas covered with trees. We have friendly horses and the most experienced wranglers in the Hill Country, so even beginners as well as experienced riders are in good hands to enjoy the breathtaking trail rides.

For your safety and riding enjoyment, all of our riding is guided. Our wranglers know the ranch well.
