Quercus Equestrian offers guests insight into one of the foundations of our farm – our ranch horses! While on property, you’ll have the opportunity to ride through rolling pastures, pecan groves, or alongside one of our lakes. Join expert instructors as you connect with both our horses and your surroundings.
Liberty training is a method without the use of physical restraints which fosters a strong bond and partnership between horse and human. This activity takes place in our round pin, and requires a high level of trust and communication between partners.
In our Liberty Training program, the horse is allowed to move freely around the trainer, who uses body language, voice cues, and other signals to guide the horse's movements and behaviors. This can include movements such as circling, backing up, or changing direction, as well as more advanced maneuvers like jumping or performing dressage movements.

If guests are capable (per our equestrian expert's approval) and interested, we’ll follow Liberty with a trail ride through our rolling pastures, pecan grove, or alongside one of the two lakes located on our property. These rides are walking expeditions ideal for guests who are looking to disconnect and enjoy serene wildlife. To ensure safety, we request basic information (such as rider’s height, weight, and riding experience) in order to best fit riders with our horses.
Our riding instruction lesson will introduce you to the basics and fundamentals of horsemanship. We begin each class in the barn, where you will learn how to groom and tack your horse using our authentic Western tack. After tacking, riders progress to the covered arena, where you’ll develop the skills necessary to ride safely on all our trails. This instruction offers private one-on-one time with one of our accomplished instructors and horse trainers. Lessons are taught using classic methods, with a primary focus on developing the rider’s overall balance and control. To ensure you have the absolute best experience, we ask that you provide us with your height, weight, and any previous riding experience you have so we can best fit you to your horse. This class is suitable for riders of all experience levels, ages 12 and up.
