I have been riding for several years, a variety of disciplines, and with a multitude of trainers,…read moreand I must say, Alexa is hands down the most phenomenal trainer anyone could ask for. Before meeting her, I never realized how integral it was to find the right trainer. Alexa is the kind of person who is extremely patient, kind with a depth unlike any other, and most importantly knowledgeable and wise beyond words. She stuck with me through every failed lease situation and made every moment a learning lesson. Amazingly, Alexa will not only help you achieve any of your riding goals, but she will also take the time to teach you invaluable knowledgeable about your relationship with your horse. Beforehand, I always felt a bit disconnected from my horse and unable to understand them. I have come away with phenomenal riding skills and an even better understanding of how to listen and communicate with my horsey partner. I, honestly, can say enough amazing things about Alexa. She is worth EVERY Penny and rewards you with knowledge, patience, and friendship. I ONLY stopped taking lessons because I moved away. If I was still in the area, she would be my go to.

My husband really enjoyed how beautiful his golf experience was. The staff are so kind & accommodating. We got lunch once at their restaurant. Everyone loved their food. My burger was quite burnt, however. The fries were good though. The amenities are all very thought through. We enjoyed the 10 minute hike we had up to a waterfall that was nearby. It was so peaceful and nice. We actually came for a destination wedding! Not sure how many weddings they do, but we had a great time. Beautiful wedding & no complaints as a guest. Be aware however that I have AT&T and had no signal my whole stay. I relied on WiFi.

The first hour was on forest trails with slight inclines & declines. Anyone can do it even if you've never ridden before. Second half of ride was mostly walking upstream then downstream in a slow flowing river. Horses seemed to really enjoy this as it zigzagged up about 1/4 mile. You will really enjoy this relaxing ride & recommend you spend the extra $$ for the 2hr. You won't be disappointed, here's some pics, cheers and thanks. BTW, I never give (5) stars so don't feel offended.

The horses were great and the people were nice but it was strange that there was no proper business area where you pay and sign the paperwork like we have been used to with other stables we have visited in the past. It was just a picnic table. Also during the ride our guide was watching her phone the whole time . And when the time came that we stopped in the trail and she was offering the horses a treat, she offered them peppermint candy she hand in her purse. Then she for warned us that this would make the horses gassy. I don't understand why she would give them this! Then when our ride was over our horses went straight to look for water from their buckets and they were completely empty. I don't understand how on our whole hour ride no one could have water ready for them for when we got back.
