    Alright, so I read the first few pages of reviews for Muddy Water, and I can see it's a mix of both…read morenegative and positive experiences. Both sets of reviews are valid, and I am writing based on my experience here. We are from out of town - the East Coast - and we decided to come to Muddy Water Ranch for a group horseback riding experience. One of my friends - an experienced rider, and one who lives in the area - had visited before and recommended this for the group. First, highly emphasize the word "muddy" in Muddy Water. This place is a no-frills, no hullabaloo ranch - and yes, it's filled with mud, rocks, trees, and horse poop. When you pull up to this place, it indeed looks shady, as in unkept and not extraordinarily professional - but we took it for what it was worth. This is clearly a mom-and-pop, cash-only business that operates as such. The staff all have aliases for some reason or another and yeah, you sign 'ska-free' waivers before riding to help delegate responsibility to some other party if something were to happen. So, take this place for what it's worth. It's one of those things where you pay for what you get - and for the price, this was honestly not too bad. But again, it is to be expected. We were a large group - 7 people - and we road with three others, so 10 people all together. After speaking to us about our riding experiences, an old gentleman (probably the one who everyone said is rude) assigned us each a horse. He was an old horse rancher - customer service is not his business, horses are! He was rough around the edges, yes, but just doing his job. Once we all got horses, staff members (there were three) began bringing our horses out. One of the younger ranchers gave us a tutorial on how to ride - posture, where to keep your hands, how to steer, etc. After mounting our horse (again, with help from the staff), we 'practiced' for about 10 minutes, just going in circles around the ring. Then, the trail leader told us it was time to go on the trail. The trail is directly behind the ranch - in fact, you can see it at any given time. We had a trail leader out front, and one in the middle of us, continually calling out commands and advice, which we found super helpful. We road the trail for about an hour, and to be honest, an hour was plenty. The horses mostly moved in a line, one after another, but I do like to think I steered my horse (who's name was Chico) in some direction. The trail was a quite muddy and the horses did their job and went through the mud. Don't wear your best clothes, just an FYI! Wear old shoes (boots, if you got em) and pants that you won't mind getting dirty. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Muddy Water and accomplished what we came there to do - ride a horse on a trail!

    I really don't want to be mean but I'm writing for safety concerns. The staff were fine, as far as…read moremanners, at least to me. I agree with some of the reviews that when I pulled up, I had a bad feeling and felt like I should decline this ride. But it was a gift and I went ahead. The horses are kept in what looks like hollowed out semi truck trailers, not barns. It was disturbing actually. Somehow we started off with what I think were three guests and three staff members. Two of the guests had never ridden which always makes me uncomfortable. But on the trail, other people sort of appeared out of nowhere adding to our group? No idea if they were late guests or they worked there. The staff of riders numerous times kept changing up the order of the horses on the trail, switching riding positions. There was not enough room on the trail to do this which I also did not feel was wise or safe. I never thought about it, but after reading the reviews realize I was not offered a helmet - I would have declined but was never even offered one. Using the word "trail" is generous. It's more of an area you circle around in repeatedly and the area is just mud (lots of mud) and logs. So your horse, for the entire ride, is navigating mud and logs. The poor boy in my group that had never ridden - his horse was not even on the trail a large part of the time, the horse would finally figure out to catch up to the group but he was wandering about on other parts of the trail. My horse finally got a bit antsy and starting kicking up a bit, which scared the new riders. I can't blame the horse, the situation seemed very unsafe to me and chaotic. I just feel for safety reasons, this is probably not the best place to go to enjoy a well run trail ride with experienced staff. When I left, I was super disturbed to see a family joining the already full group with a dad and a maybe one year old riding double. I was actually pretty afraid for them to head off with that group. I attached a photo of where the horses are kept - they are kept in these steel trailers. Concerning.

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
