Rock Springs is an equestrian activity provider located in Sorrento, Florida, adjacent to Rock Springs Run State Reserve. The operation is based at The Main Riding Barn and focuses on guided trail rides, youth day camps, riding lessons, seasonal photo sessions, and daily stall rentals. Rock Springs offers guided two-hour horseback trail rides through forested trails with options from one to two hours for varying experience levels. The ranch runs supervised programs such as Rockin' Riders Kids Day Camp for ages 6–15 and Reba's Round Up for younger guests, which combine safety instruction, grooming, crafts, pony rides, and on-horse activities. Riding Lessons deliver one-hour, level-appropriate instruction in balanced riding, safe handling, and horsemanship. Brunch at the Barn morning rides and Sunset Campfire Rides provide family-friendly themed experiences led by experienced wranglers. Seasonal offerings include holiday-themed Photo Shoots and special events like the Ride or Dye Easter EGGstravaganza. Practical options include Main Barn Stall Daily Rentals for guests who bring their own feed, hay, and tack while exploring the state reserve and nearby glampsites. Instructors and wranglers emphasize safe handling, trail etiquette, and age-appropriate guidance. Visitors are advised to follow safety basics such as closed-toe shoes and to reserve scheduled rides and camps in advance due to limited group sizes. Detailed trip descriptions and booking information are available on Rock Springs’ listing and online.
