Testimonials  Our family of 5 , ages 14-72 had a wonderful exp. at the  Spread, The horses are well cared for and great for any stage rider.  The location maynot be as upscale as some places but you could not ask for better horses. We were allowed to ride at our capibities and it was great  riding  ! We will recommed to other family and friends and be back very soon. The staff at the Spread are friendly, helpful  made sure we had a great time. I would have to say that over the years our family has been riding horses in the Houston area this experience has been the the best.  Katie Fisher  and Family Aug. 2011  The Spead is a wonderful outfit convieniently situated close to Reliant stadium. It is run by three people whom are great characters and fun to be with. Most importantly, they care for their horses deeply. Their riding sessions, mainly carried out with Christie, are so relaxed,safe and enjoyable that we caught on fast, in a safe and comfortable environment with no pressure.They have a variety oftrails and rides around their premisis, which pass through various kinds of terrain - fields of various sizes, around a lovely lake and also across various byways - you can go as fast or as slowly as you like - providing they feel you are capable. Christie and Sam are very experienced, knowledgeable and careful teachers - but at the same time allow students/riders a real riding experience - not just going round and round in a paddockWe also went with them to a seaside ride - where they transported their horses to Surfside beach, for a very scenic and enjoyable ride. There is nothing pretentious about them and they are not a particularly upmarket operation - but they offer a safe, down to earth horse back riding experience of a lifetime. We really recommend them to anyone sincerly wanting to ride to improve your skills or just to enjoy the experience.   Zul,Sara and family (visitors from Malaysia)"2010 Testimonials .     "The ride was a great experience. Jim is a great horse. The prices are just right and the environment is too. Sam, the owner, is very knowledgeable about the horses and is a very nice man. Hope to be coming back real soon." - Christine Landry (Houston, TX) "I've never ridden horses before but Mike was great. Sam was an excellent teacher and made learning fun and easy." - Matt Landry (Houston, TX) "What a great place to ride. Sam, one of the owners, even lets me ride bareback which is a great way to communicate with your horse. Once you have ridden the same horse several times you become one with the horse. It is a wonderful place to lose your troubles and solve your problems. It beats going to a Shrink, it's a lot cheaper and more fun. Sam should hang out a shingle." - Jerry (Houston, TX) "This is a very nice place to ride in a natural, peaceful setting. I go riding atleast a couple of times a week. I can't think of anything more relaxing and peaceful. You really become attached to the horses after spending time with them." - Babs (Clear Lake City, TX) "Sam (the owner) is a great guy. You'll learn a lot from him about riding and taking care of the horses. I've been to The Spread more than 20 times and never miss the opportunity to take friends and family. The prices are also very reasonable compared to other stables, and you can't beat the location close to town." - Roger (Houston, TX) One visit to the Spread and I was "hooked"I am now regular customer which visits several times a week and weekends. My riding experience at the spread was like no other I had ever come across. Sam ( the owner) and his horses  cater to customers  needs  whether first time riders- experienced. Each rides always offers something new and exciting from riding in the woods to a peaceful  ride near a lake, or even help you plan a romantic ride and picnic with that someone special for any event.  Although I have my favorite, I have been privileged ride  to  all the horses.  So if your looking for  fun place  to enjoy,& relax   I highly recommend it !!    Christy (Houston, TX)  I discovered the Spread a year ago  and now I go every week-end and often during the week as well. I love going  there for  the peaceful setting and the horses. I 've ridden horses all over the world and these are the best horses yet! They are extremely sweet with each having their own distinctive personality, it is great to see them interact. My favorite is Lucas, always up for going out on the trail. I recommend this place to all of my friends and  many have joined me there. I truly miss them when I am out of town. Agnes G (Houston, TX)       My daughter and I  first visited The Spread October 2006. My daughter @ age 6 was going through the horses    stage and wanted to do some riding. We  went  out  and met Sam, the owner and a wonderful man, to inquire about lessons .   Her first lesson was on "Ranger" and Christy as her instructor  was on "Big Mike" the experience was great!   Sam, Christy and Tomoko have taught her a lot about riding and caring for horses.  The Spread is a really terrific place to go We are regulars now  all of the horses are wonderful  and love being round everyone there and feeling apart of the family. We have our favorites  mine being freckles and my daughter's being  Ranger and Rosie.  Look out for us there and hope to see you soon.
