Private Sunset Horseback Ride for Couples in Waco
The Private Sunset Ride is a fully private experience designed for couples who want quiet, space, and a sense of ease at the end of the day. The ride is reserved exclusively for the two of you, with a dedicated guide and no other guests, so there is no need to match anyone else’s pace or expectations.
As the light softens, you’ll ride across the ranch at a comfortable pace. The experience is guided with care, allowing you to stay focused on being together rather than thinking about what comes next. For riders with appropriate experience, trotting or loping may be available if conditions allow and your guide determines it’s a good fit.
Midway through the ride, you’ll stop at a scenic overlook with wide views of the Brazos River Valley. You’ll dismount, take in the sunset, enjoy a delicious charcuterie picnic and spend time together before riding back as evening settles in.
This experience is often chosen for engagements, anniversaries or other meaningful moments, but it’s equally well-suited for couples who simply want uninterrupted time in a beautiful setting during the most atmospheric hour of the day.
By booking a ride, you agree to our Terms & Conditions. Please review them for important details.
