I couldn't in good faith give Horseshu a glowing review or recommend it to friends or family…read moredespite the fact that the owner was perfectly lovely to us and even extended a 5% discount on our beginner's forest ride. The resources and the good intentions are definitely there at Horseshu. That being said, I had a several expectations that were not met. I feel that a beginner's ride should include a quick 5-10 minute safety overview before riding, an explanation of what the ride will consist of (i.e. "We will ride around the arena for 5 minutes until you feel comfortable, then head out to the trail for one hour, then circle back to this arena."), some time getting to know the horses and being introduced to their names and personalities, time for photos in the woods, and a partially-narrated tour with information about local flora and fauna. None of these amenities expectations were met, much to my disappointment. Therefore, I feel that the ride was not a good value. Our guide was callous and resentful. He used curse words several times which for me was not a big deal, but if I had been visiting with my family (and/or children) it would have been distressing. It's possible I caught him on an off day. I had to ask for nearly everything including just getting the name of the horse I was riding.

We picked up a few treats for our "kids" and a strap-on carrier since my little boy decided he didn't want to be on a leash while we trekked through downtown.

- OMG it's like haven for cat lovers! -…read more It's like 1 min walk from Island Hoppin' Brewery, and that's the reason why I went there. I don't drink much, so I'd rather go to a shelter to see animals XD! The front lady was nice and she didn't push us to adopt anything. There was an obese cat that's been separated from the other cats because he's on a special diet. He was friendly. I then went in two other rooms, each with about 7 cats. The cats there were really friendly, but some are shy. I spent like 20 minutes there patting the cats.. lol. The cats there have a nice outside patio area where they can walk around as well. The adoption fee is also lower than most places if I remember correctly. My friend donated some $$ to thank them for taking good care of the cats. I probably won't come back to this island again since there's not much to do, but if I go there again I'd stop by this place and pat the cats once more~

I contacted A Pet's Life, as it wasn't too far from where we were staying, and while they didn't carry Primal products in the store they were able to special order it. The food arrived on a Wednesday and was kept in a back freezer, we picked it up when we got to town on Friday. We are very appreciative of their help so that we didn't have to try transitioning our dog to a new diet while traveling. Their responsiveness and help was very much appreciated and I give them an A+ for going out of their way to help... the least I can do is leave some positive feedback regarding their business.
