The trail guides are amazing and the staff is just honestly top notch. My fiancé and I got engaged here. (So I may be a little bias ). But, the staff worked with my fiancé and his family all the way up to the actual proposal. The staff did a great job playing along (I had no idea my fiancé had planned this)! Once we got towards the end of the trail ride, the trail guide directed us to a nearby field, got me off my horse and distracted me with taking my photo with my adorable horse June, when I turned around-there he was down on one knee. The staff helped make this a day I will remember for the rest of my life & I will be thinking about them on our big day!

I grew up showing and riding horses daily. I loved this!!! Usually I'm bored to death on rental horses. Not on this ride! I never felt unsafe but i definitely wasn't bored. The horses are extremely well trained but having the faster walk of a gaited horse and the stunning scenery around the lake, all made this ride great. I will definitely be bringing friends, family and clients back out here. Great experience!!

I would the give stable more than a five star review and recommend it to anyone who is beginning their equestrian adventures and looking for a stable that works really well with children and also looking for more advanced riding techniques. This was truly the best stables I have been to. As a horse rider from my past were were allowed to groom our horses, saddle them and enjoy the entire equestrian experience, more than just riding. We were at different skill levels. Ron worked really well with my daughter and grandson, helping them to learn and master the beginner skills of horseback riding and horse care. The event was just the three of us. He allowed me to do a little bit more than they did and I truly enjoyed riding, saddling and grooming my horse. He set up obstacles for us to maneuver around, which was interesting for all of us. I was allowed to trot and canter my horse. I enjoyed this much more than a trail ride where we would be just walking and that is all. The grounds and barns are fantastic, well kept and very nice.

The focus is on horsemanship and not just throwing you on a horse. They ask your goals and help you work towards them. Do you want to be a better rider? Do you want to work towards owning your own horse and being able to care for them? Do you want to learn how to train the horse you have to be a safe partner through natural horsemanship? Previously i ran into people who were very skilled with horses but either were not or did not even want to be teachers. They seemed like they were just instructing to help pay for their own: riding , roping or horse training careers. The instructors at crossroads love teaching just as much as they love horses. You will never feel intimidated. They will push you but never to a place where you feel unsafe. Still not sure then just stop bye and ask to meet Shire!
