We just moved to the area from Tampa Bay two months ago and discovered Black Creek Hill Farms while…read morelooking for trail rides. We are so glad we found them. Brenda, the owner, is an incredibly warm and friendly person who does some wonderful things at her farm. The day we arrived for our trail ride Brenda greeted us, got us situated with gear and horses. Then she personally adjusted the saddles and stirrups to ensure the best fit. The farm has a number of volunteers who help guide the riders through the trails in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Our two volunteers were incredibly polite and thoughtful as they guided us through the ride. The horses were gentle and responsive. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. After we returned to the stables Brenda talked about the impact the horse therapy they do at the farm has had on participants. This has literally changed peoples lives. Outstanding place and people. We will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended.

This company is one of the worst I have ever experienced. My kid took lessons for about 3 years and…read moreI wish I would've opened my eyes sooner. My kid has gone through multiple instructors. Learned nothing about how to safely ride. The instructors are under-qualified and many just yell the same words at kids over and over. They are just in it for the money. The owner is creepy and flat out rude to his employees. This barn is dangerous and horrible for the equestrian community

Stay away!! Worst experience I've ever encountered with any sport or recreational activity. The…read moreowner/ manage is completely absent and unresponsive to communications. They do not check or respond to emails. They over charge and the trainers do not really teach for progression. My daughter kept being put on horses who clearly do not want anyone riding them so she could not learn any new techniques. When providing feedback to the owner, Andi, she doesn't follow up or even address it. It's clear they are only about taking money and not giving quality services. In all honesty, they should lose any business license they have based on the lack of service. When multiple texts, calls or emails repeatedly go unreturned, there's a huge problem with saying this is a legit business.

They also all enjoyed holding the goats and feeding the chickens. The party was all-inclusive - pizza, horse cupcakes, personalized decorations, paper products, and favors.

The birthday girl received an extra photo on her horse with the entire party. We received a lot of compliments from parents on how unique the party was and how much they loved the framed photos.

They care about their deserving riders as well as the non therapeutic riders.

Well kid, where do you I got those two golf bags full of balls from? Told him I did go to the club house, as it is my first time here, and paid $7 dollars for 45 balls in a bag. At this point, I expect some sort of embarrassment or regret in his face of accusing a woman of collecting golf balls from the range and hit? But no, with straight face he said "then your fine" Perhaps I look different? I really don't know what to think of the reason why he came up to me and told me what he did.
