When people I know are visting the Ft. Lauderdale, I always send them here for a fun activity. I am a horse person myself and own my own horse. Because of that, I know the Bar-B-Ranch is safe for everyone, even beginners. I have ridden here with non horse owning friends, when I know they want me to ride with them. The trails show old Florida and the trails even go past a farm where race horses are at. The guides take to time to show beginners what to do. The horses are all well cared for, and their tack fit them perfectly. Make a reservation, and enjoy the trails!
I love the Bar-B Ranch in Davie here in Florida, it is so nice and the people there are so kind and helpful. I hope you guys enjoy your visit as much as me, my friends, and my family did!
My daughter goes riding with these wonderful people several times per year. The trail rides are better than others in that the horses are not simply following the horse in front like so many other trail rides. The leader even allows more experienced riders to gallop along the trail at certain points. Some trail rides use horses that simply plod along behind the horse in front of it. These horses are more independent and each has its own personality. The staff is great and they make sure you will have fun. The price is less that most trail rides. Whether a beginner or an experienced rider they will tailor the ride for your enjoyment. Go!
If there is one word to describe this place it will be AWESOME! My friends & I came to ride horses for there birthday we were a little apprehensive at first but Linda & the owners assured us that we will have no worries and boy were they right. Everyone at Bar-B-Ranch was very nice, helpful, & had a lot of patience. If you're ever in the area or need something or somewhere to go this is most definitely the place hands down.
This place is great for kids and adults who love to try out horseback riding, they also offer a great summer camp for kids. Even my 5 year old could get on a pony and be led around for 30 minutes or an hour and for the price of $15 for 1/2 hour and $25 for a hour, you can't beat this anywhere else. My 8 year old an I really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour trail ride. The staff with us were helpful, skilled and informative.
The people at Bar B Ranch are friendly and understanding. Whether you are experienced at riding or just a beginner, they have a horse for you. If you are experienced they will let you push the horse and even gallop a bit. Most trail rides I know of simply play "follow the leader" and lumber along slowly. The trail is green and beautiful. Lessons are available. Kids and adults who love to ride horses will not be disappointed.
Loved every minute of our private horse back riding tour! Worth every penny. Came to Miami for spring break and so glad we checked this out. :)A huge thank you to Liz for such a fun time. You were so welcoming and thank you for your patience. Thanks for all the photos too! :) (Liz went out of her way to make sure we got several great photos of us on the horses. So kind!) Both of us had previous riding experience. It was sooo appreciated Liz that you gave us so many opportunities to cantor. Seriously amazing! The grounds were totally beautiful and manicured. Got to see Shrek donkeys too. Overall such friendly staff. You could tell that the staff cares very much for each of the horses. And we liked your approach to how you treated the horses - no crops and your approach to getting the horses to go/ begin walking. Tip: make sure you check out the cute puppy "Moo Cow" sleeping under the check-in table. We went on a Monday and it wasn't busy. Also loved that portions of the ride were shaded. Thanks a million,Laura (Canada, 26 yo) and Julia (Germany, 23 yo)
My granddaughter and I went on a private trail ride with Tracy. Not only did my granddaughter get to trot on Chief, Tracy took her for a fun canter and video taped it and sent it to my email. It was an amazing ride for both of us.
What a great place to spend time! The horses are well cared for and the trail rides exciting yet not frightening. The guides are all so nice and know how to instruct riders and relieve any fears... This is a really great attraction that is not to be missed!
Our second trip to Bar B Ranch. The first we had a custom ride for an hour and half that didn't turn out well. This time did the standard ride and had a good trail ride. We own are own horses but always enjoy trying different places to ride. People are nice and horses are well taken care of. Its out in the country but make sure your vehicle is locked and you don't have any valuables in plain view, we did not encounter any problems but the stories are true. Our guide was a young lady who was going off to college but she was very sweet and a knowledgeable guide.
