Safety is very poor -- I definitely do not recommend this place…read more A few days ago, I went horseback riding here with three of my friends. Unfortunately, my experience resulted in a physical injury and raised serious concerns for me about safety. Before the ride started, two of my friends' horses were fitted with muzzles, but the horse I was riding was not. As soon as we started, my horse kept trying to eat grass, stopping, and refusing to move forward. I was instructed on how to encourage the horse to keep moving, and I followed those instructions. However, once we reached an area with more grass, the horse completely stopped and started eating. At that point, one of the instructors, while still riding his own horse, tried to lead my horse by holding and pulling it along with him. The two horses were moving extremely close together and were constantly coming into contact with each other. I could clearly feel that the horses were becoming very tense. I told the instructor several times that the situation was making me uncomfortable, that the horses seemed very stressed, and that I wanted him to stop. Instead of listening to me, he continued and told me that he knew what he was doing. Since he was the instructor, I trusted him. Shortly afterward, the instructor's horse kicked. Because the instructor was trying to lead my horse while riding his own, the two horses were moving almost right next to each other. My horse was positioned immediately beside and slightly behind his horse. While we were moving this closely together, his horse kicked, and the kick hit me directly in the leg. My leg became severely bruised, and I am also attaching a photo of the injury to this review. I was extremely scared and clearly told the instructor that I did not want to ride anymore. Despite this, he insisted that I get back on the horse and continue the ride. I told him that I absolutely did not want to get back on, got off the horse, and started making my way back with my injured leg. At that point, I was not offered any assistance or support. On my way back, a woman who appeared to be in charge of the facility approached me with the horse I had been riding. I saw her whipping the horse. She then brought the horse over to me and told me to get back on so that I could finish the ride. I clearly explained that after what had happened, I was very scared and did not want to get on any horse at that point. As a result, I had to **walk all the way back by myself with an injured leg.** No one came with me or helped me walk back. Even after I returned to the facility, no one came to ask how I was doing. I even had to ask for and find ice for my leg myself. What bothered me most was not only that I was injured, but that **I repeatedly asked the instructor to stop when I felt the situation was becoming unsafe, and I was not listened to. Then, after I was injured, there was a complete lack of care or concern.** When it comes to horseback riding, I believe safety and being able to trust the instructors are extremely important. Based on my experience here, I felt neither. For these reasons, based on my personal experience,I definitely do not recommend this place.

You would think that in a horse camp kids would spend most of the time with the horses. That's not the case here. Out of five hours at camp, my daughter literally sat on a horse for no longer than 5 minutes. At this camp, the group lesson means 20 kids sitting waiting for their turn to ride the horse around in a circle 3 times. That's it. Rest of the day is spent sitting and waiting. Terrible experience for my daughter and she was in tears asking me not to send her back. She did not return. I called the place to see if I could use the remainder of the time in camp for something else, like maybe a horse lesson or two. I was told flat out "no" and was directed to go read the contract. Lawyer up, friends! No partial refunds either. I should have looked at the reviews here first as all the negative reviews are spot on. Any business that threatens you with contracts from their customer service desk should tell you all about their operation. Stay away.
