Cypress House B&B specializes in guided private rides for you and your family or group of friends. We have 20 horses available to select from to meet the riding levels and needs of our guests. We have 7 "gaited" horses: 5 Paso fino, and 2 Tennessee walkers. The remaining 13 horses are quarter horses.

When you make your reservation, we ask questions about your riding experience and the weight/height of the adult riders. Our maximum weight is 220 lbs for 5'- 5'7" and 250 lbs for 5'8" - 6'. If the rider is 6'1" or taller, we'll talk about the weight. Our concern is the rider's safety.

All rides are private and guided.

Most of our horses have been working for us about 5-6 years, and some longer. Our trail guides ride a new horse before we use it for guest riders. Because of this, you can be confident we will be able to give you a horse that is best suited to your riding level, and your interests. We have horses for 6 year olds to 60 year olds who have never ridden. We also have horses for long time riders, horse owners, and occasional riders. We put the selected horses into our trailer for the 10 minute trip to the forest, and you follow in your vehicle.

The guided, private 2 hour or more ride is on top of the horse, in the forest. We have the most interesting forest trails in the state. We go through natural live oaks mixed with pine, magnolias and northern oaks, some swampy cypress groves, and areas where deer browse, armadillos wander, and wild pigs root in soft areas. Nearly every rider sees some wildlife more interesting than blue jays.
