Trail by the river
Emily S.

What a beautiful day and lovely experience! The ranch was very easy to find with lots of shady parking. There were amazingly friendly people and pups everywhere we turned! You could really see how compassionate these women are about riding and their horses. I haven't ridden in over 20 years and was a bit nervous but I felt safe and secure the entire ride. My daughters also had a gentle and peaceful ride with the right amount of terrain ups and downs and twists and turns. We can't wait to go back when everything is blooming!

Amazing views of the river

This place is a perfect place to bring your friends + family to. The horses are beautiful and calm and views are to die for. Backing up to the Oklahoma river, 300 acres of beauty. Weather your a group of friends needing an activity to get into nature or if you want to get your kids off the screens and back to the gorgeous outdoors, or if you just like horses, this is place for you to try horseback riding. Walking on safest, most loved, trained and properly cared for horses in the state. If you want to stroll through the woods you should try it on horseback. This place does not disappoint.

The trip was a lot of fun. I went with my cousin. The other people booked for the same time and we grouped up with were friendly, and we had a good ride. Our guide sang for us and was very personable. I was assigned Rebel, and he took it easy on me, and I had a blast. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful. The trail was easy for the horses to navigate, and they were docile, which is great for a beginner. If you are nervous, the guide and staff will assign you a horse perfect for your situation. Follow their directions, and you will be fine. They will walk you through everything and answer any questions. They are attentive because they want you to be safe and confident and enjoy your ride. The horses are well taken care of, and I like that they can tell you the history of every horse and identify each horse's individual personality. That shows how much they truly care about them. I will visit the Honey Lee Ranch again.

Absolutely beautiful ranch. The horses are very well taken care of and loved. The owners take pride in their ranch. The two guides were so wonderful. The trail ride was great and I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the spring. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

View from the road - there's a parking area to the right side of the road ( the empty field )

Really awesome experience here with my husband! I went online to book our trail ride about a week in advance and it was quite easy. We showed up about 15 min early got a good briefing from the lady there that runs things (we both have very little experience riding horses - I grew up with horses but other than riding with someone walking with a lead rope that's about it ) the trail ride is strictly walking ( there's one little spot where the horse will trot a bit to get through the little dip in the land but that's about it) through the woods / really serene and beautiful. The fall is a perfect time for this type of thing . All of the horses have good demeanors as far as I could see - we had no issues on the ride. Highly recommend it ! I'm sure we will be back again.

We went to Honey Lee Ranch to ride horses with Equi Adventures. During our trip, we learned Equi Adventures leases space on Honey Lee Ranch to provide a riding experience. It was great. See my cross review on Equi Adventures page for additional information. Great experience riding trails at Honey Lee Ranch!

We love cross creek stables! When we moved here earlier this year my 8 year old suddenly was dying…read moreto take horse back riding lessons. After calling many different barns with little luck I found Cross Creek and I'm so glad I did. They are truly geared to teaching children how to ride. I am not an equestrian and know pretty much nothing about horses. I needed a good barn which would teach my daughter everything she needed to know and be safe doing it. I love the instructors at cross creek. They are great at managing different ages and riding proficiency in the same group lesson. The lessons are super affordable and they have several time slots to choose from almost every day of the week. It makes finding time to ride super convenient. I love that they offer students the ability to be helpers during other lessons for a discount on their tuition. The facility is well maintained and the main riding area for lessons is covered with fans so no matter the weather the lessons can happen. The horses all seem to be well taken care of and great with children riding them. We attend weekly lessons as well as a camp this summer that my daughter loved. We have had a great experience at Cross Creek!

You almost killed my horse because you would not take him to the veterinarian when it was cold. The USEF says otherwise about you, so I won't recommend or be near your barn ever again! Original: I found out some things that were just unacceptable when it comes to trust. I do not like the way they treat the horses and not tell you if they are sick and just administer medication. I had a very hard time getting the owner to help me. The assistant trainer was not good at all. I do not recommend this at all especially for young children

I can not say enough about the service and accommodations this facility offered my family…read more WE ARE NOT IN THE HORSE BUSINESS. We have zero experience with the animals or work involved in this industry. Our family has member with quadriplegia (wheelchair bound) that desired to ride a horse for Christmas. Cottonwood Creek Ranch was not only up for the task, they were excited to share in the experience -- providing therapy thru horse riding. Despite the wicked cold (4 degree Fahrenheit with 30 mph winds and snow), the staff came out in full force with the sweetest horse to help our physically limited family member get on that horse and ride around the barn. The pictures speak volumes. I highly recommend for all novice horse enthusiasts. The professionalism and friendliness of this establishment is worth investigating.

You can pay for riding lessons here given in a massive indoor practice facility. They even do birthday parties for the younglings. Prices are average for what they do, but it's definitely a pricey hobby/sport. One thing is for sure, the family here are good people and they hire quality workers that really care. If you are prepared to dedicate your time and money, or need a place to keep your horse, this place is as good as any around. Also they live on property making it very accessible.

We enrolled our kindergartener in beginner horseback riding lessons at Champion Farms in Spencer…read moreand were initially encouraged by the structured teaching style. The facility is also top notch! Unfortunately, our third and final lesson was extremely concerning. During the lesson, the instructor was often several yards away on her phone while my child was mounted near an open gate leading toward the road. When the horse began moving, my father had to step in to prevent it from walking into traffic. Later, the instructor screamed at my child to back the horse -- a skill she hadn't yet been taught -- and yelled that "I don't know isn't an acceptable answer." She ended the lesson, saying she wasn't dealing with this on her dime, and told my daughter to dismount. My child dismounted in the middle of a field, visibly upset, and was then called a "sissy who needs to fall off her bike and scrape her knee a couple times." Throughout the incident, raised voices were directed at my child, my father, and myself. Afterward, I received an apology regarding how my father was treated, with a comment that he was "there to watch, not interfere," despite the safety issue that required his intervention. There was no acknowledgment of how my child had been treated. While I respect firm instruction, safety and respectful communication are just as important for very young riders. We chose not to continue lessons. I hope this was a unique experience, but I share it so families can make informed decisions about what environment feels safe and appropriate for their children.

This place deserves a no star review…read more Let me preface this by stating I've been in and out of the horse world since 1992. So I'm not new to this game. A few years ago, my daughter had expressed the desire to take riding lessons. I had lost my gelding a few years prior and Just stopped riding all together. I looked back into local barns, she wanted to learn Western. So I showed her a few open discipline barns. And she chose Celtic Cross. I reached out and unfortunately they didn't have any openings at the time. Which was fine. We held off, partially due to the pandemic, until they reached out back out to me saying they had beginner lessons starting. My daughter switched to English after not being able to swing a saddle on a 16 hh horse by herself (she was a petite 9 year old just starting out, didn't quite grasp the mechanics yet) Every time I tried to help, I would get yelled at. That was one red flag I over looked. The conversations that included bashing other riders from other lessons made me uncomfortable. (The other review where the kids were crying? Marilee referred to them as the cry baby sisters). I would reply "that's horrible" hoping she would get the hint, I did not want to talk about others. They have one "coach" that pretty much told my daughter she sucked. Another coach, had the attitude that my daughter was not good enough to be part of her lessons. (Because she's a reserved and cautious rider, not an a*hole with spurs) One rider got kicked hard in the abdomen and required an ambulance ride, they were not pleased about the fact the mom called 911. (Insert another red flag what was over looked) They even said it was the child's fault she got kicked. I know being around horses is dangerous, but this barn has some very unsafe horses. Instead of an adult handling a difficult horse, they make children who don't have experience do it. Or the simple fact that with in the last year, my daughter has almost been ran over twice on horse back during a lesson due to another horse being allowed to run around with zero control while cantering. Communication is honestly non existent. Even on a good day. Also when you pay $40-50 a lesson and the certain coaches attention is more on their phone than the riders. Don't get me started on the "package deals". Prepay, but lessons were always canceled. That money is lost. A lot of other things have happened, but the most recent- my daughter helped out for two summer camps this year. First week seemed to have went fine. Second week, my daughter was accused of dumping manure twice in an area that it wasn't supposed to go (for the last 3 years, every thing was dumped in one spot just outside the one door, mainly due to laziness and improper equipment). She did it once, because that's where it always went. She was told. "Hey not there". She didn't do it again. Later that day, she was cornered and yelled at, accused of doing it a few times. She immediately texted me to let me know. NOTHING was mentioned to me when I got her at the end of the day. NOTHING was mentioned to me at lessons the following week. The week after is when it was finally brought up. Pretty much, they use you. Abuse you. And kick you out. If you want a safe place for your child to ride. This is NOT it. I wish I caught on sooner. (Did you know you can file a report with Safe Sport?) Before any one comes at me, my daughter has had a few other trainers wanting her to be part of their team. One being out in Florida and travels all over the east coast. Final part of my review, they owe my daughter unpaid wages for days worked. While it was considered working for either lessons or classes paid at the barn show. She was asked to leave before she was able to use her "Celtic Cash". Therefore, they owe her a pay check. (I will edit this review once I get that check and it clears. They have until July 31, 2023) In hind sight, I wish I had listened to the several people who told me to stay clear of this place. The toxic environment is not healthy. Updated: 10/30/2023 The Department of Labor ruled in my daughter's favor. I now have paperwork to file a judgment against Marilee and Celtic Cross. (She opted to ignore the DoL) my daughter is owed pay plus damages- they also broke it down to an hourly pay for the time she worked. Since I broke silence, several people have stepped forward to me in confidence about this place. The bullying, the harassment, the neglect. The lies! They aren't my stories to tell, hopefully in due time... it all will exposed.
