No visit to Texas would be complete without donning a cowboy hat, saddling up your mount and heading off along the a class="ref1" href="https://www.traveltexas.com/things-to-do/western-experience/texas-towns-on-the-historic-chisolm-trail/">Chisholm Trail for an unforgettable trail ride. The Stockyards Stables in Fort Worth welcomes avid equestrians seven days a week to go on a relaxing outride along the Old Chisholm Trail which winds its way along the Trinity River, against the backdrop of the Fort Worth skyline. You can choose from a thirty or sixty-minute ride and your young children (older than three years) can enjoy a ten-minute arena ride. Besides getting to know the stable horses, children will enjoy the petting zoo while adults may like to have their photo taken astride a beautiful (and patient) Texan Longhorn.
Stockyards Stables, 157 E Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76164, Phone: 817-247-2510
