Absolutely amazing! My son Jayden had never ridden before and he loved riding Chulo! Our guides, Johnny and Cody were... patient and did a great job helping my son. I rode Harlen, who was a perfect fit for me. He let his silly and stubborn side show a few times, but.... I can be just as silly and stubborn. I wish I could go there everyday. Thank you again for an amazing ride and an experience to remember!read more

I selected this stable out of the plethora of local offerings, given the website indicated the majority of the horses... were rescued. Once I arrived, I could see that love reigns here. While waiting for our ride to begin, I spent time doting on the horses. It was apparent that some were elderly and others were neglected in the past. However, they are now well-taken care of, as indicative of their appearances and gentle natures. The hands were considerate in selecting appropriate matches for the two-hour long tour, based on personality, experience, and size. I was fortunate enough to ride Dude, a spunky, middle-aged Arabian. We proved to be a perfect match. He would seize any possible opportunity to open up into a canter. However, if he became a bit too feisty, he politely obeyed my riding signals. (Which is a sign of proper training.) I will certainly return to Rock Springs Run Trail Rides for another adventure. I feel they strive to ensure these horses have a chance to enjoy a life that they may otherwise have missed out on, had they not be saved. That is enough reason for me to support this stable and its mission to provide enjoyable riding experiences for human and horse alike.read more

We had a great time! All of our horses were so sweet, and easy to ride. Two, nine year olds who had never ridden before... had zero issues, were comfortable, and had so much fun! Jessica and Tim went out of their way to help the birthday girl have a very special day she'll never forget! Well maintained facility, and trail, great staff, and the horses were amazing, we can't wait to go back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐read more

I have been to at least five other trail riding establishments in 3 different states. This was the BEST! A gentleman... named Tim had the paperwork and a bottle of water waiting for us when we arrived. The stables were clean, the horses were saddled and ready to go. He took time to choose certain horses for us according to our size and ability. And after he helped us to mount our horses, he tightened the cinches one last time. (My husband’s cinch was not tight enough on a previous ride at Sun City, causing his saddle to slip, resulting in his falling off of the horse.) As he guided us through the beautiful Florida State Park which borders the property, he kept pausing to see if we had questions or issues with our horse. There were no swamps as were present in Sun City. Had we chosen, we would’ve been allowed to trot briefly in the appropriate places. And he let us pose as a group on our horses as he used our phone to take pictures at the end of the ride. Everything at Cactus Jack’s looked very nicely maintained. Buildings were painted, fence were all in perfect shape, there was grass growing where it should’ve been and it was nicely mowed. I would recommend Cactus Jack’s to anybody wanting to go on a trail ride and I will be back again.read more

We took our daughter here for her birthday today. Amber and Jaimie were incredible guides. They made her birthday... awesome and had great conversation while riding. We went for an hour ride and didn’t want it to end. Only recommendation I can give for the owners is to maybe have a frequent riders program or a return rider discount. We love coming out here to ride and would totally do it more if we could. Thank you Amber and Jaimie you both were incredible and we will be back to see you guys.read more

I’ve ridden here every time I come down to Florida and will continue to come back! First and foremost, the horses are... all in fantastic body condition, fed really good quality hay, and have well fitting tack. I learned that they get turned out, rotated between both the Orlando and Ocala facilities so they have different scenery, AND are given ‘vacations’ where they don’t work and just relax in a field. I would NEVER EVER consider a place where I didn’t feel the horses were cared for and they really do a top notch job! I had scheduled my first ride months ago and just figured ‘eh, a group trail with other people would be alright!’ The group I was with was very nice but entirely beginners. It was slow going but the horses were fabulous and really took care of everyone. I had an adorable, sassy mare who was nipping the horse in front’s bum constantly! It was a lovely trail through live oaks but definitely a little TOO slow for me. I was told by Trish that they do private guided rides during the week. I found another morning that would work and gave them a call to book. Best decision ever! My next ride was just one on one, Trish and I. We were able to chat, had some lovely trots and got to see some trails I’d never gone on before! One went past the Florida Horse Park and I could check out some of the property. My horse this time was a brilliant gelding named Sparky (I think?). He was super smart and a great mover with comfortable gaits. Great personality! It was super fun to be able to chitchat with Trish who loves the horses so much! Not to mention it was a little faster paced and more exciting! I’ve never ridden in an Australian Stock Saddle before (I ride English) so I was a great experience. All in all, I can’t wait to go back and will definitely be doing the private ride again. Worth every extra penny to be able to see some different things with an experienced guide! Even so, beginners and those who have never ridden will have a wonderful time. The guides put a lot of thought into choosing the right horse for the right person! I highly recommend Cactus Jack’s!!read more

I surprised my 9 year old daughter with a trail ride since I'm pregnant and haven't been able to take her riding in... awhile. When we arrived, Julie was very welcoming and nice! I felt extremely comfortable knowing my daughter was in good hands for her first alone (without mom) ride. When they returned, my daughter said she had so much fun and was already asking when we could come back!read more

Our guide, Rob, was great - did the two hour ride, and you can tell that he really loves what he does. Very... knowledgeable and friendly - wouldn't want anyone else to be our guide and will definitely ask for him again if we come back through. We always try to ride at various places when we go on family vacations, and these horses were the best trained that I've ever seen. So happy that we decided to ride with Cactus Jack's when we visited Florida!read more

We took 1.5 hr trail ride with 7 people (2 were kids) in ocala. All of us were beginners and they did a fabulous job... matching the horses to the riders. The horses were very well trained and truly did the work for us. The trail itself was absolutely gorgeous and most of it was well shaded so it wasnt too hot. Bonus point for cool stone and grass bridge over the highway. We will definitely be going back.read more
