It's been a while since I've been on a horse and this was the first ride for my kiddo. Before I forget to mention the barn is equipped with helmets if you would like one which is so awesome! After filling out the paperwork they give a brief tutorial before your ride on how to stop/start/ guide the horse to do what you want which was really helpful. The horses were so sweet and gentle my daughter rode Simon, I rode Rusty, and my husband got Bella. The trail was great a little narrow at times between trees but the horses definitely kept us on track and going smoothly. My husband ended up getting the sweetest horse who loved to stop every couple of minutes for snacks so every time we looked back he was a bit behind us lol! It made for a great moment that we will remember and laugh about for years to come! Our guide was very knowledgeable and great with my daughter who despite being nervous beforehand rode like she had been riding her whole life! Proud mama moment for sure!! Their barn cat greeted us when we got back and was all purrs & brushing up against our legs such a little cutie (check out the picture). We got to meet all of the other horses and fed our horses a treat in their buckets after the ride! We had a fantastic time and we really enjoyed the horses and the beautiful scenery!

They have some beautiful horses and I've only ridden 2 there, but Reno is the best horse ever. He's one of those unicorn horses, the kind that make you fall in love with horses.

While the mission is truly incredible, our experience as volunteers didn't reflect that. We often felt unclear on expectations, received little guidance on working with the horses, and experienced inconsistent communication. At times, interactions felt distant, which made it hard to feel fully welcomed. Our final visit to the garden club--where we were initially told it was "full" without prior notice--ultimately solidified that this wasn't the right fit for us, though we appreciated Erin stepping in to let us help. That said, Monica and Dylan were wonderful and very supportive. I genuinely believe in the mission and hope the volunteer experience continues to improve with more structure and communication.

This was my first time on a horse and based on my experience it wont be my last, my 5 yr old daughter had so much fun! I was kind of nervous to let her ride alone but TRUST me you have no worries parents, ya child is in under close supervision at ALL times. Staff is friendly and very informative. The ONLY thing that I did NOT like or care for is the family pet! They have a dog that's loose and runs up to guest and also jumps all over them, everyone is not an animal lover so I think they should be more considerant and keep the dog inside or tied up when there's guest on the premises. The dog is a very dog not vicious at all but its all about making your guest feel at ease and comfortable. Besides the dog situation my fam and I had an amazing time :)

I recently switched boarding my horse to a new place. Had been here for over a year. While…read morenothing seriously wrong, was not happy with the constant turn over of employees (trish was the best!!!!) sanitary conditions of the barn, lack of training equipment (jumps, barrels etc) and while turnouts were daily, depending on weather, pastures were not up to snuff for grazing horses. Owners were absentee, with their young daughter as barn manager, who was rarely around. Overall was not terrible, but for amount of board charged was expecting more care and attention to the horses and owners.

This stable is great! I came here looking for better instruction in Eventing and I got just what I…read moreneeded. The stable is clean and organized. Both trainers have their own scheduling board so the students can see which horse they are riding. So far every time I have come my trainer has been on time and was already in the barn by the time I came. The horses there are well-trained and gentle. The facilities there are very nice. My lessons have also been very good as well. Each lesson I rode the full duration and was not shorted at all. My only complaint is that there is no dressage arena(or arena emptied of jumps). This means that working on dressage can be difficult since you can't work in the full size of a dressage arena. There are also no letters so for those who are just learning dressage this can make things more difficult.

Kelsey Rinehart is not only responsive, organized, conscientious and personable with me, the parent, she is also encouraging, enthusiastic, and focused in her training of my daughter. Her lessons are always full length (a surprising rarity in our experience), they are perfectly matched to my daughter's skill level and goals, and she prioritizes safety while still challenging her rider to push herself to new heights. Additionally, she is a hard-working and lovely young female role model for all the girls in the barn. I can't say enough wonderful things about the physical spot, the condition of the arenas, the quality of instruction, and the love shown to people and horses alike!

Very unsafe! We should've gone with our gut and canceled…read morethe ride when one of the horses started to become unruly while we were mounting. We were a party of four. When we mounted the horses, my son's horse, by the name of 'Three,' tried to bite my daughter's leg who was on the horse, 'Bella.' Then 'Three' tried to bite Bella's neck. Our young guide then put a muzzle on all of the horses. We proceeded to the trail - my horse 'Vinny' kept trying to walk off to the side of the trail, in the bushes. I was then told by the guide that Vinny did not like mud and was trying to avoid walking through the mud. For the record, it had just rained that morning. If Vinny did not like mud, why did they allow him to be out on the trail? Needless to say, Vinny was not happy and took off running through the trees, threw me, knocked me unconscious. I was attended to by the ambulance, then emergency room. I have been struggling since, as I recover from a concussion and whiplash (neck and back). Been out of work for almost a month. Not once have I received a correspondence from the Serenbe Inn to see how I was doing, or apologize for the actions of their horse. I also noticed the next day my credit card was charged the full amount. Dangerous - They do not care about the riders. My son mentioned that after the horse threw me and while I was on the ground unconscious, the horse was stomping all around me. As my son was running towards me, from a distance he thought I was being stomped by the horse. Fortunately, not. BE CAREFUL! Serenbe Inn, I was really surprised by the lack of customer service and customer care. No call - No email - No apology - NO CARE!
