Chris (owner) did an amazing job of quickly familiarizing us with a horse, getting us in the saddle, and leading us through a beautiful trail ride full of great instruction. The barn and grounds were in great condition, you can tell that Desperado Farm truly cares for their horses and customers. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, very easy to talk to and real masters in their trade. They were also very flexible with scheduling and payment, working around the weather and my own personal schedule. Great spot, great time, and great people. Highly recommend.

I followed up a couple of weeks later and still got no response. Saying you want to meet a prospective client and then disappearing is unprofessional, and as someone new to the area and excited to get back into riding, it was really disappointing. I never got to see the horses or facility, but if you're looking for a barn that's responsive and follows through, keep this in mind.

Some aged horses that shouldn't be ridden. Animal control goes out she just moves the bad looking ones to the back paddock. She can not manage money so feed supply is always low or has none. Hay is extremely rationed and water is so dirty with chemical look that the horses dont want to drink. Thankfully there are some horses there that the owner buy the food themselves. Owner lies about her staff, yells at them and treats them with no respect. Volunteers not treated well either and none get any training.

The staff was very friendly, they instruct you on how to get on, ride, guide and get off the horse. The trainer took my husband and I on a 1-hour ride around their property, which was part in the open sun on grass between different fenced off horse areas, and in the "woods" where there were tons of trees, plants and vines to walk through. The tour guide wasn't very talkative, but my husband and I liked that. She answered our questions and led us on a peaceful, relaxing journey with our horses. We both loved it and would definitely come back. In addition to horseback riding and horse boarding, they have pony rides for kids, riding lessons, cabin rentals in the woods and a mini general store, which has your basic drinks, snacks and cowboy merchandise.
