Get there and was greeted by Miss Jesse She is the perfect picture of southern hospitality and genuine southern charm, a real champ and blessing to have met. She let me ride her horse ~ "Faith" she was a sweetheart They have 7 horses to choose from based on your style of ride. The Farm Owner is so cool, just a perfect gentleman and loving guy ~ Harold, who came along for the ride and showed me his place. 175 acres of Tennessee's finest land tucked away in the back mountains with Black Angus grazing the land, oh and one special brown Jersey named "Amy" Breath taking views, 2 ponds with a really cool tree forest next to them. I got the blessing of having both Jess and Harold to guide me giving me the lay out of the land. Horses were great, beautiful animals because of course Jesse takes care of them like their her babies They do events there too - weddings, church services, family gatherings due to the beauty of the place. I recommend this place and will go back. There's nothing like being around folks who you feel like you've known for years - that's Jesse and Harold Lastly, the charge was $30 bucks for an hour which beats all of the rest big time and Jesse went over the time too on the trail ride. If and when you go please be sure to give a good tip because they deserve it. Cary

The wranglers (Kay and Lee) did not verbally apologize for any mistake made the entire time. Mistake #1 being late Mistake #2 forgetting the list of who goes on what horse Mistake #3 getting lost People were so sore and tired of being on their horse (at least 4 hours worth) that they were walking while leading their horse. Some people fell, got pushed around by their horse, etc. It was a mess. The trip did not seem planned at all. Our lunch break was just us getting off the horse and eating while standing by our horses in a very narrow trail. Not to mention it didn't seem like either of the wranglers have been on that trail recent enough to remember it. The horses were very nice, they just didn't seem to listen that day and it seemed our wranglers couldn't do anything about it. With more organization and planning the trip would have been fine. In my opinion, there should have been planned stopping points and more communication from the wranglers to the riders throughout the trail to check on us.

PUPPY BUYERS BEWARE!!…read more To begin with please know the 1 star is for the breeder and not the two puppies we bought. It is of my opinion that the Jordan told us whatever she thought we would want to hear in order to sell her puppies. I have found Jordan to combative without accountability for her actions as evident in her response to my review. As part of Jordan's sales pitch she misrepresented the puppies as having been genetically passed for diseases and specifically mentioned that the parent dogs were tested for hip dysplasia. I have since learned that there is NO "genetic" test for hip dysplasia. Jordan subsequently provided a certificate showing normal testing for DM but there is absolutely NO relation between the DM and hip dysplasia. It's my understanding that most all reputable dog breeders list there mating dogs with the OFA.org database. We went to Hanson Farms with an interest in their white German Shepherds. My wife and I have not had a dog/puppy in over 20 years and at the time knew very little to nothing about what would be involved with raising puppies, 100% inexperienced. Out of concern for having a puppy (or puppies) we explained in great detail our work schedule and how we can be gone for long periods of time in a day. Jordan misled us to believe that having two puppies would be a good idea as it would keep each pup company, and further stated "that it was easier to train, behavior, potty, etc." Jordan even mentioned that she offered a puppy daycare service to watch the puppies when we have longer than normal work days. After speaking with multiple professionals -- including a representative with VCA Animal Hospital, The Tennessee German shepherd of East Tennessee, and three dog trainers -- we were told that both, having two puppies and to allow the puppies to go to her home for puppy daycare, was "BAD ADVICE," especially coming from a breeder. Apparently, part of the reason they said it was bad advice is something called, "Litter Mate Syndrome," which involves behavioral issues, dependency issues and aggression, all of what we have been witnessing between the two puppies. Jordan has discounted the litter mate syndrome as having no "evidence" to back this up. As a breeder she either knew or should have known about this as there is plenty of evidence out there but Jordan tries to focus on an article written by a dog trainer rather than facts. The Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences wrote an article regarding the subject: https://today.tamu.edu/2023/09/28/understanding-littermate-syndrome-in-puppy-pairs/ After five days of having the puppies, given Jordan's misrepresentation and learning the truth about the genetic testing, the litter mate syndrome, and after speaking with several dog professionals we took the advice of other professional dog breeders and asked to return the puppies for a full refund. It's not buyers remorse when one has been duped and misled. Again, Jordan showed no interest in the puppies' welfare but seemed to be more concerned with a so-called "policy" of a $300 non-refundable deposit. She further stated that we would only receive the difference in whatever the puppies would sell for as she seemingly had no intention of selling them for what we paid ($900 per puppy). Not until we asked for the refund were we ever informed of any non-refundable deposit, neither verbally nor in writing. In fact, Jordan required that we pay the full $1,800 up front, of which we paid. Given Jordan's lack of professionalism and what seems to be a matter of money rather than showing interest in the puppies welfare and because of the love we have for the puppies we have decided to go against the advice we were given and decided to do what we believe is in the best interest of the puppies. We believe that the puppies going back to Hanson Farms is by no means in their best interest given the circumstances and given the unkept conditions we received the puppies (dirt inside the ears, numerous worms, etc). I question how Hanson Farms can even be allowed to be a breeder. And as a result of Jordan's ill advice we will now have to spend a lot of money to deal with the behavioral issues. Lastly, when we went to pick up the puppies I met with several of Jordan's adult dogs. Their adult dogs were unruly and exhibited bad behavior, trying to bite at me or jumping on me. In fact, one of the non-parental dogs tried to attack me from behind although Jordan will not admit to this. When I later mentioned to Jordan the bad behavior of her dogs she tried to discount this as the mother dog protecting her pups and made some excuse of how her other dog was trying to hug me. I believe it is common knowledge that a well behaved dog that has been trained does not jump on people.
