The guides were knowledgeable, courteous and professional. The horses and property were very well manintained which added to the serene experience. The shaded paths provided a welcomed haven from the summer rays and would make for a pleasant ride all year. Definitely worth it!

Cousin had a birthday party here. The staff was so friendly. The girl that did our party taught the kids all about the horses and was so knowledgeable and kind. Would definitely book a party here again. My son is now interested in their horse camp.

I originally called here to inquire about riding lessons for my daughter who is 3 1/2. I was pleasantly surprised by how much information Lindsey was able to give me over the phone. She answered all of my questions and advised me to send her a text message with my information and what I was looking for. She responded within a few hours saying they had an open spot come available. Unfortunately I was not able to make this one. I sent her another text about a week later asking if there was anything available in a few days from when I called. She responded again within a few hours and gave me a time slot. So far I was happy with the response time. We scheduled for 1pm and we arrived around 12:15 ( yes a bit early). Our other plans allowed us to get there quite a bit early. When we arrived the two girls (Lindsey and Maddie) were out cleaning the stalls. We spoke with them and Lindsey even caught one of the roosters so my daughter could hold him. They were so friendly and accommodating even though we were very early. They spoke with us about the rides and answered our questions as they continued to work. Maddie took time out of her own lunch break to start us early around 12:45pm. I was impressed with that. From the start, Maddie was attentive and explanatory with my daughter. She taught her how to brush the horse (JoJo was her pony to ride) and was talkative throughout the entire hour. What really impressed me is Maddie took the lesson seriously. She was not on her phone at all (except once just to check the time because youngsters don't wear watches haha) but I never felt as if she was not 100% involved with my daughter. Safety was taken seriously. I have read the comment about the person who had an issue with her weight being too much. My wife is over 200 lbs and is very excited to go for a ride. We shall see how that shakes out in the future and I may end up editing my review, however, for now, I am thoroughly impressed with this stable. I would recommend.

Are trail rides all season? I want my niece and little sister to ride for their birthdays that are 3 days apart, but it’s in late November.

I've only been there once about a month ago and she had indicated that they was open year round but I'm certain the dates you indicated will be no problem for them. Very well ran but I wouldn't wait to long to get a scheduled time.

No they are guided tours. Very nice horses and friendly..

How old do you have to be to work there?

Age is not as important as experience with horses. Our workers are people that have been here taking lessons and have grown up here. Thank you for you inquiry.

Are you guys open during this time? Do people need to wear face masks?

Juana Jimenez | Sep 27, 2020
Ms “Beauty Boss” McGee | Sep 27, 2020

We were there 2 days ago. It's open. I don't think masks are required but plenty of space to practice social distancing
