We had a great time! The folks at Makin' Tracks made us feel right at home. They love their horses,…read moreand it shows. Our trusty steeds knew the trails as well as our guides, and they're experienced enough to use hackamores instead of bridles and bits. The specific trails these guys took us on were amazing. From Sawgrass marshes, to scrub forests to oak hammocks, we loved the diverse Florida scenery. We saw tons of birds, including some elusive wild turkeys and even a deer or two. Don't forget to ask to see some long forgotten infrastructure from the defunct "Cross Florida Barge Canal".

This place had great reviews on Yelp so I went for it! It was slightly underwhelming for what the…read moreother reviews were saying. It was an experience to be in the rural country area of Florida. Time stops here so don't expect everything to be as the time slot shows. It's a dirt road out to a house with a little old sign that barely appears to be the business. We pulled in and looked around for the owner and eventually found him preparing everything for our ride. It took some time standing around waiting for some of this family to arrive to go on the ride with us. In the mean time we let the goats and chickens and horses. All the horses look well taken care of and all the animals seem happy so that was a good sign. There's a definitely a moment of "what did I get us into" when we pulled up to the barn and saw the behind the scenes and waited around a bit for them to load everything up into the trailer. We followed them to the trailhead in our car and then saddled up and headed out. I've been on better trails before for the ride so it was a bit underwhelming, but the Florida foliage was unique and pretty. Our guide was training a new lead horse so we had a few jumpy moments, but he knows what he's doing and showed us his training skills. All our horses were very well behaved and felt safe to be on. Overall, it's definitely a novice business and nothing special, but the opportunity to interact with some real country folks made it feel authentic and was neat.

Wouldn't recommend! I booked 2 night horseback rides for myself and a friend and this business did…read morenot show up for the booked rides. We arrived and waited, trying to contact the business to find out where they were. 5 minutes after our ride was scheduled to start I received a message that the owner was out of the state. She said it was a mistake and I shouldn't have been able to book on her website, but to me this is just bad business. You don't allow customers to book horseback rides if you are unavailable. I'm giving it 1 star because I did receive a refund, but in my opinion they should have offered a free ride since this was completely their fault. This complete lack of customer focus ruined my evening and will prevent me from contacting this business for services ever again!
