Cactus Jack's Trail Rides - Ocala, Florida

Daniel

Wir hatten eine zwei Stunden Tour gebucht, die sehr entspannt war. Die Tour führte über verschiedene Trails durch den Wald und unsere Guides waren sehr nett und freundlich.

Zum Beginn der Tour bekommt jeder ein Pferd zugewiesen. Diese waren alle sehr lieb und jedes hat im Laufe seines Lebens bestimmt schon einiges erlebt, daher finde ich es toll, dass diesen Tieren hier geholfen wird, diese hier ein schönes Leben haben und auch mit den Touren Bewegung bekommen. Wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder buchen.

20/10 stars! I’m so happy to have found Cactus Jacks!
We booked a 2 hour trail ride with Helga and River. What great horses they are. Helga is over 18 hands tall and is a massive, yet calm and sweet girl. Don’t let her size fool you, she is PERFECT for a beginner or someone that wants a slow ride. And River is an awesome choice for anyone!
Our guide was Megan, and she was phenomenal! She had lots of great information for us about the area we went through, animals that are found out there and she even spotted some fresh coyote foot prints. We had great conversation, and she swatted down the banana spider webs for us. What a trooper she is!
Thank you to Cactus Jacks and Megan for making my 32nd birthday one to remember!

I took a 90 minute ride while down visiting family. The experience was great. I was well matched with a horse for my skill level (not beginner not expert). Megan our guide was excellent. She knew and readily provided lots of information about both the horses and the trail system. I will be returning on future visits to the area. Horses are clearly well cared for and responsive. It was a walking ride but I would not consider it “nose to tail” either.

Two reasons I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars (and would prefer to give it 4.5/5) First I had wanted to call and ask some questions before booking. I trail ride often and dislike greatly nose to tail experiences so I usually call ahead of a first visit. I was unable to find a good phone number. Second reason the cancellation policy is intimidating. I’ve gone trail riding a half dozen places up and down the east coast. I commonly find a 24 hour cancelation policy. I believe cactus jack requires 3 days advanced cancellation. The lack of a phone number only adds to my concern about the ability to contact someone if I had to cancel. These two factors almost had me choose a competitor (I am glad I didn’t). If these two items were addressed this is an easy 5 star review.

Amazing - the 2 hour trail is absolutely recommended! Johnny is the best guide ever! He was very passionate about what he does and the love he has for all of the horses was felt. He made me (57 yo) and my 18 yo daughter feel safe and comfortable while in the ‘back 40’. We have ridden quite a bit, not sure I would recommend this for a true beginner, but for anyone else - you will love it! We will be back!

This is our second trail ride with Cactus Jacks in Ocala. My daughter loves going each year. This year we brought some first timers ( never sat on a horse kind ) They absolutely loved it. The staff was amazing and very knowledgeable of the area and love the horses. I highly Recommend them to everyone. Thank you again!

My friend and I went with Maddie on River and Ginger for 90 min. Great experience! Maddie was very chatty with us which we thoroughly enjoyed! The horses behaved well and gave us a beautiful morning to remember! Highly recommend the place! At the end both of our horses were yawning lol!

My husband booked a five mile ride for us the morning of 10/14 & couldn’t have imagined a more peaceful Monday morning.
I rode sweet Baxter & my husband rode beautiful McKinley. After the ride we were able to meet all the sweet horses, learn about them individually and what made them special.
I believe our ride was with MaryBeth
•Iam not great with names•
She is so sweet, knowledgeable, informative, and made the experience all around great.
I highly recommend, can’t wait to book our next ride with my older kids !
