Cypress Trails is located near George Bush Intercontinental Airport, but it's hard to remember this place is anywhere near civilization when you're out on a horse moving through the dense forest along the banks of Cypress Creek. The instructors are patient and helpful with beginners, and they also approve experienced horsewomen and horsemen to take part in trail and endurance rides. It doesn't matter what level you're at, because all the riders get to enjoy the natural beauty of the winding forested trails from the back of a horse while watching egrets, herons and other birds winging along banks that in the spring are lined with wildflowers. Rabbits will sometimes pop up alongside the trail, along with some cool bugs and the occasional snake. Luckily, the horses are so well-trained and so familiar with the path that even snakes don't spook them.
