My daughter was very excited to attend her first day camp this summer. I filled out her medical…read moreinfo, letting them know that she had been diagnosed with separation anxiety and asthma. I expected and received a phone call on the first day. I discussed with the counselor what coping skills worked best with her. On the fourth day of camp, I received a call saying that she has attempted to assault a counselor. I rushed in to discover that she had been crying, wanting to come home and had just been told "no. You have to participate with the rest of the kids." I was told by the counselor that she had been wheezing all day, and vomiting. When she went to hug the counselor (counselor told me herself that she opened her arms to invite her in for a hug) for some comfort, she was mouth breathing at this time as nothing was done about her asthma even with an air quality alert. They accused her of attempting to bite and refused to allow her to finish the last day of camp. There are 3 times they should have called me before this moment, 2 of which were medical emergencies and could have resulted in hospital visits. I made the mistake of thinking that because they call themselves "Christian based" that my seven year old would be treated with love and kept safe. Instead she was out into a dangerous situation and then criticized and accused of things she never did.

You will learn about horses both in and out of the saddle, and I would recommend her to riders of all skill levels. If you've always thought riding might be a fun hobby to take up but maybe a bit intimidating, Emberwood is a perfect starting point. For students who are advanced enough or become advanced enough through lessons, Natalie offers partial onsite horse leases. I've been leasing one of her horses since fall of 2020 and it's been a great experience. We also go to shows if you're interested in showing.

She was absolutely sweet, understanding, knowledgeable, and very patient. My two cousins who went with me aren't very experienced riders, and she walked them through everything. Royal Creek has an amazing way of setting up the entire experience. They are really good at pairing the rider with the house -- not easy to do, but very well done. Once you arrive, you meet your "guide" and then are introduced to your horse. I really enjoyed the fact that you have some one on one time with the horse you'll be riding before you actually get on. You get to give your horse a brush down so they get comfortable with you, after that the horses are saddled up, and they take you to an indoor arena to ride around and get comfortable. Your guide will then make sure you're comfortable to take you out to the field where you'll ride around for a while. This was honestly one of the best horseback riding experiences I have had in a long time. Also, their prices are super reasonable. $105 for 3 people for an 1 1/2 hours

We did not get on our horses until an hour past our scheduled time, and the next group had already shown up. Our trail guide was vaping and talking on the phone the whole time, the vapor blowing back into my face. But worst of all, the trail guide did not tighten my saddle, claiming that she doesn't believe in having the girths super tight. When the saddle proceeded to slip, just a few yards from where we took off, it was blamed on me. She claimed it was because I have uneven stirrups and she "knew they didn't look right". I was highly upset by this experience and her ignorance. Do not go here, it is unsafe and unpleasant. I will highly recommend trying a different facility.

In any case, I would highly recommend Autumn Rose for anyone looking for riding lessons. The staff is not only very friendly, they are also very experieanced. The owners are coaches for the OSU team, and most of the staff are either current or former high level riders. I can't imagine that you kind find a more talented group of people to teach you. They have a extensive selection of horses to fit any skill set, so if you've been riding for years, or just starting, they will find a horse that suits you. Prices are very reasonable, and lesson availability has never been an issue. If you're on the fence about it, stop by sometime and check the place out, they welcome visitors and I bet you won't be disappointed. I would recommend Autumn Rose to everyone.

I was very excited that my husband was giving me a series of lessons as my birthday gift. I map quested the directions directly from their website and was already to go! Much to my disappointment, I could not find the farm what-so-ever. I typically do not have a problem locating places as long as I have the route written out. I drove in circles for over a hour. I tried to reach someone at the stables to inform them of my situation, and have them assist me in the proper direction. Unfortunately no one answered the phone. I left a voice message asking someone to please contact me so that I could get the correct information and reschedule. Then, I called my husband to see if he could look up any helpful information off their website, but he too pulled up the same directions. Deflated, my only choice was to come home minus a horseback riding lesson. No one from Autumn Rose Farm ever bothered to contact me. Being a small business owner myself, I don't have the patience to deal with poor business practice, nor do I understand how places that conduct business in this fashion keep their doors open. The only conclusion I could come to was that this was not the place for me. I did end up finding another stable that is wonderful, a bit closer to home, and has a better price!

My mom grew up riding and training horses and while it's been years, I thought it would be a great 60th birthday gift to go riding in Hocking Hills. After a few searches online, I found this place. The booking was easy and the owner, Jackie, was very attentive and communicative throughout the process. The weather was absolutely perfect on the day we arrived and we were part of a small group including two others, making it 4 total, which was honestly ideal. We were greeted with a warm welcome and Jackie got straight to introducing us to our paired horses. She was great at putting us each with a horse that would go well with our riding experience. I got Duke, who was a sweetheart from start to finish. He did a fabulous job and I had no problems at all. He was just as Jackie explained he would be. After getting our mini riding lesson, away we went. We rode through beautiful meadows and even through the forest with high trees, downed logs, and a ton of brush. Every single one of the horses did great. They loved to stop to eat and Jackie knew all the good spots for "cheesecake." That's what they called the horse's favorite snack. Funny, because that's my favorite too! We rode around for just over an hour after getting our lessons and it was wonderful. Everyone had a blast and I would totally go again, only for a longer ride next time. I highly recommend it!

Today I had my second ride in 2 years here. I have been…read moreriding regularly for the past 12 years so my perspective might be a little different than other reviewers. First of all, I love that the animals all seem really healthy and well cared for. They are not your typical 20yr old skinny trail horses standing on their last leg. And the tack is not falling apart. The staff is clearly knowledgeable about their horses and the beautiful trails they take people out on. Unlike what previous reviews said, they do actually have several helmets to borrow. I can understand where a mother with a small child might feel uncomfortable with this being a first riding experience. The terrain is narrow and hilly at times. And they let you trot in the flat areas. If you are a first timer this can be a bit much with the lack of instruction given. Being that I am an experienced rider, I loved it. I also think it's probably fine for an adult that is a first timer. The tour is guided by one person in the front and one in the back and although it may not seem like it, they really were keeping an eye on everyone. This place let's you enjoy the sites and rides in your own, they aren't there to yap your ear off. Although if you do have a question they are there to answer it. Did I mention they have a rescued zebra?!

There was one other party with us, and through the whole ride the hosts were talking to us making you feel very at home.
