Ultimate Texan Experience

Benbrook Stables isn’t your average riding spot, it’s a complete Texas daydream.

Open daily from 9 am to 5 pm, Benbrook Stables welcomes riders of every level. Their designated horse trails, maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are peaceful, scenic, and perfect for beginners and pros alike (or anyone chasing that “Hannah Montana galloping through the countryside” feeling like us).

But Benbrook isn’t just about trail rides, it’s also one of the best horse boarding facilities in North Texas, named “Best Horse Boarders in Fort Worth” by Expertise consecutively from 2020 to 2022. They offer full and partial care with premium all-natural feed made from whole oats, barley, corn, and oil (9% protein, 6% fat, 6% fiber). Every detail, from the horses’ health to the trails’ upkeep, reflects pride and passion, the kind only Texans can do right.
