Horseback Riding

We do a lot of horseback riding at La Reata Ranch, because there is nothing better to experience the cowboy way-of-life!

After the famous and extensive La Reata Breakfast, it is time for everybody to saddle the horses! You will get a suitable horse to enjoy the time at La Reata. Then we take off for an exciting day ride to check the herd and to explorer the large ranch property.

 Beginners are welcome to have their first western riding lessons in our large riding arena at the main ranch. Everyone will have the chance to learn how to rope and work with cattle or try the first barrel race.

All guests are welcome to participate in the cattle and ranch work. We have to check and move cows on a daily base and if necessary we have to catch some calves and treat them.

 While there is a lot to do every day, we do not forget to relax and have a good lunch break with coffee, beans and sausages cooked over an open fire and a snooze in the sun. And from time to time, throughout the summer month, we pack up the horses for an overnight trip and campout under the stars – a real cowboy dream far away from urban life.
