Omg! I had the best experience on a trail ride with a quarter horse called River, he’s was an absolute gentleman, as... were all the horses on the trail. We had Mr Josh upfront leading & Mr Johnny at the back, giving us information about the horses & the area. The trail was shaded so if it’s hot you won’t be burnt by the sun, everything is explained before you go out, I felt very safe & looked after by River & Josh & Johnny, it was a great experience, thank you so much, it was fab to ride western as we are from England, 👍👍👍read more

My 7 year old first time riding a horse! It was an experience bday present from Gran and my daughter loved it! This is a... great place for first timers, especially children, who just want the experience of riding a horse (instead of playing cowboy). My husband joined her and said she had an absolute blast. She rode 'Desi' an older horse and I feel that was perfectly matched. I can't wait to go next time and join her as I'm sure she will want to go again. My husband was glad the site said to arrive 30 minutes early. We live on the east coast and we planned accordingly for traffic and stops. He liked the explanation time and the ability for our child to see the horse before mounting and going. Thank you again, Cactus Jack, for a great birthday treat for my horse girl.read more

My 2 kids and I went for a one hour trail ride with Dwayne and Steven last Thursday during our family vacation. It was... great! My son was so excited to finally get to ride a horse. The guys gave them both helmets and gave us some basic instructions before they brought the horses over to the platform. How to slow down, stop, reverse and steer your horse - especially around some low hanging limbs and bushes that were close to the trail, things like that. It was a group of mostly children and first time riders, so we kept an easy pace that was nice. We will definitely be coming back this summer to ride with ya'll again. Thank you Steven and Dwayne. We (especially my son) can't wait to come back💙read more

My family and I enjoyed our 60 minute trail ride, we went in the early morning before it got hot. All the horses are... obviously well taken care of, used to being around people and knew the route well. The host and trail guides are awesome, organized and know each horses personalities. We loved how quiet and serene the area is along the route. it is does get quite dusty in some spots, so if you're sensitive to dust, bring a neck gaiter to cover your mouth and nose. We are already planning a longer ride on our next visit :)!read more

My son and I went on the 1.5 hour tour today with Steve and Nick and have to say it was the best experience ever! Steve... is so knowledgeable and just a great guide and I was very nervous it’s been many years since I was on a horse and he made me feel very safe and secure really took care of me and I appreciate that. We had a great trail - almost all in the shade - And the horses you could tell Have been very well cared for and loved. The booking experience was super easy online, walked up and finished the paperwork and basically got on the horses and off we went! it was great!! Can’t say enough good things about Steve’s discussion and commentary - made the trip very enjoyable. Truly the excursion could not have gone any better in our eyes - thank you so much Steve and Nick, and cactus jacks - we will be back again and tell everyone how awesome you are!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

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

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

We took our two grandchildren (7 & 11) on the two hour ride. What a wonderful experience for all of us. We meandered... through the beautiful forest on well-behaved and easy to handle horses, led by the personable and knowledgeable Julie. It was a fun, relaxing way to spend a lovely afternoon. Can't wait to visit Cactus Jack's again.read more

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
