    My sister has Spina Bifida, and her physical therapist recommended horseback riding to help build…read moreher core strength. So, we rode at Hoof Prints (or "Four Steps and Hoof Prints", as it was called then) for about 18 months. First and foremost, I want to say that this is where I gained a love of horses, as well as the core knowledge of how to ride, groom, tack, feed, etc., which I've now gone on to use at my job. And I greatly appreciated the modifications Ms. Sandy and her team made for my sister (letting her mount from the back deck for example), as well as Ms. Sandy letting my brother and I ride with my sister (which we weren't originally going to do). The overall environment, however, was extremely negative. At the time, I was 7-8, my sister was a year younger, and my 2 brothers were a few years younger than that. But that didn't seem to matter to Ms. Sandy, who yelled at us for just about everything. (we weren't fast enough, strong enough, etc.) She yelled at her staff for tiny things, yet didn't correct them for larger ones (example: she once had my brother and I ride double, but the helper neglected to check and tighten the girth. As a result, the saddle dumped us, but Ms. Sandy yelled at us and didn't say anything to the aid.) Her expectations were unrealistically high given how young we were, how little experience we had (which was absolutely none), and the limitations my sister has. The horses regularly escaped, but she never figured out how they were escaping. Eventually, my mom felt it was unsafe to continue riding there, and so we left. However, I have maintained contact with some of the staff there (who had become friends) and they've said that all of this has not changed since I was there. Overall, I would have to say that I do not recommend this facility to anyone.

    Seems like they're on Groupon all the time. Our horseback ride started about 1.5hours late. I…read morewasn't happy about this at all. Not simply because he was running late, but because the house (castle/waiting room/party room) was absolutely filthy. I was really taken aback by a business looking like this, even if it's a business that works w/ animals. When we got there, the owner and assistant were on a ride w/ another group. Then the group we were supposed to be riding with were an hour late, so we had to wait for them. It was just annoying, although Steven (owner) was friendly. When we walked into the empty house it looked like a construction space, a hen was walking around the inside and I even saw it poop IN THE KITCHEN! Things finally turned around when I hopped on Sherman (my white horse w/ black spots). He was a greedy little thing and ate up all the grass but he was a great horse. Steven immediately put ppl on the horses and taught us while we were riding. He was a straight to it teacher and I liked that. He definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to animals. He took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to everyone in the group. I'm thankful to have such awesome pictures that didn't cost us extra. I'm giving 4 stars despite the filth because Steven was friendly, welcoming, and I enjoyed the experience. Tip: -don't eat there if germs bug u -don't arrive early, there's no point -yes, you're in the right spot, even though it looks a little funky on the outside

    It's funny this guy is trying to say we never went when we did - I'd love to see what evidence he…read morehas considering during our entire time there he never once asked for our names or checked that we even had a reservation. He also never redeemed our Groupon. He has repeatedly messaged me and begged me to remove this review and has even reported it to Yelp to try to get it removed. Not only do I stand by my review but this Steven Strasburg owner has proved himself to not only be completely unprofessional but also desperate and dishonest. My advice: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY for your business instead of accusing people of posting fake reviews or saying "it must've been another place". This is the ONLY time where an owner has not only not apologized but tried to say I'm posting for the wrong Castle Strasburg. How many Castle Strasburg horseriding places are there in Midland, VA? SHAME ON YOU!
