They loved it and talked all the way home about the horses and activities especially were impressed with riding the horse to cool off in the pond. These boys were excited to do their first ride and we were so grateful to the staff who spent much effort to insure they knew how to handle these horses. Safety was the watch word. Our escort was just great. She assisted in every way to show the mount/use of reins/dismount. Thank you so much!

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking -- a crisp, snow-covered trail winding through tall pine trees under a brilliant blue sky with perfect fluffy clouds. The weather was ideal: sunny, calm, and just cold enough to make it feel like a true winter escape without being uncomfortable. Huge shoutout to our incredibly patient and helpful tour guide who made the entire experience smooth, safe, and enjoyable for everyone (especially first-timers). She was fantastic with the horses and kept the ride relaxed and fun the whole way. Highly recommend this experience for families looking to create lasting memories together. 10/10!

Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The horses are well trained and follow each other since they already know the trail, but they still respond to commands like go and stop, and you can steer them left or right if you want. That made us feel comfortable even as first-time riders. The only area I think could be improved is having a small practice area for brand-new riders to learn the basics before heading out on the trail. Other than that, everything was amazing. The ride was about an hour long and very enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back!

The ranch and ride was so much fun, being outdoors with the beautiful horses. It was my first time riding- felt nervous but excited- and the team made me feel at ease.

My guide was Matt who made my first visit (but not last!) great - told great stories, and shared about various animal/plant activity along the trail. Great activity for a birthday and the hour flew by. Be sure to buy the treats at the end bc the horses sooooo love those, and tip your guide! Such a memorable experience! Thank you!!

Each lesson is always a great and fun learning experience. They aim to make you feel as comfortable as possible while challenging you and helping you find that motivation from within. They are talented instructors with years of experience to help guide and mold riders to become their most successful. Even in group lessons, they take their time with EACH rider. Also, they are super quick with reaching back out in regards to booking lessons, rescheduling lessons and being flexible with your schedule. All the horses are so sweet, patient, well trained and beautiful. Please try this place out and I promise you will want to make this your forever stables for either you or your loved ones.

Chrisi has been absolutely great to us. She has not only gone above and beyond to take care of our…read morehorses, but has taken care of our family as well. She has shown my daughter how to take care of horses, and has been a great friend to me as well. During hurricane Beryl, she handled all the damage with care and expertise. Even with all the struggles that came with the hurricane, I couldn't trust anybody else more with the care of my horses. The other boarders have also told us how much they love Chrisi and how well she has taken care of the horses. Her lessons have taught my daughter so much, and she loves them. She always comes home with the largest smile on her face, talking about how much she loved it, and how it is the favorite part of her week. There is such a community at the barn, and Chrisi has really grown that. It is a place that is so great to be, and you'll not just get excellent care of your horses, or amazing lessons, but friends and a community to be apart of. I would 10/10 recommend her for high quality riding lessons, or a great boarding experience. Thank you so much Chrisi for the kindness you have shown our family and our horses.

If you don't own a horse and would like to learn all about horses as well as riding, she teaches this as well. She teaches from small children to the adult amateur.

I boarded my horse here May 2021 to Dec 2021. It was close to my home and my son was going in for a…read morekidney transplant so I overlooked the rough facility to be close to my horse. Little did I know about this farm because I walked in off the road and never googled it. The elderly owner appears very sweet and presented as the well doing sweet grandma type. In my time here- 1 horse died,4 coliced with vet visits needed, 1gut impaction with a week of hospitalization at Waller vet , 3 severe fence pole impalements, 1 horse down for 3 days with laminitis, 2 chokes with vet tubing, horses loose in neighboring construction site from pushing down fences due to hunger and gates left open by teen grandsons and their friends who try to clean stalls. Horses are fed 1 small flake of hay 1 time a day and 1 scoop of grain 2x a day no matter what she tells you and paddocks have sand weeds so they have nothing to eat. They are starving between am/pm grain scoops and one flake. Feedings are 6 am and sometimes night is 10 pm depending on if her helper is feeding. That is 16 hours without anything to eat outdoors but weeds and sand. Herd aggression is high and horses standing idle digging paws at roots of weeds for something to eat. I can share all of this because I was out DAILY to set up feed for my 33 year old horse so the owner could just hang the buckets. I paid board and bought my own food and hay and set it up to be sure she was fed enough. I cleaned my own stall and buckets. The feed and water buckets were not once cleaned for any horse in the months I was there. Black mold stained water buckets are very telling. My sons would do a "water check" while I cleaned my stall and horses daily found without water in large buckets(dry) . Owner's son jailed for child molestation (see internet search on farm) The presenting very sweet elderly non equestrian mother of the jailed son is trying to manage farm while he's in jail and stated to me she is " on a limited income and she cannot afford to feed more hay because she has to pay her son's legal bills." She often misses the horses injuries when bringing them in from outdoors because she is just in a rush to get it done and horses have been left laying down in pasture ill or off grain without her intervention because she just throws some grain and leaves the stable to attend to grandkids and a special needs child in family. Stalls are not bedded but once a month for the boarders that show up. Many boarders are absent so they don't really see what is happening. Sharp nails, screws, sheet metal everywhere, fences being held together with hay bale string. This is a train wreck of a farm that is falling apart, it needs to close down but she is trying to keep it open for her son who won't be out of jail for years. Do not board here. Horses may look ok but under the hood of this farm there is ALOT that is awry. I watched and this is my first review ever online. I tried to speak with the owner about hay requirements for horses by size and also offered to pay for and provide the farm round bales for the pastures. I could not stand the neglect I saw each day. The response was " the horses are fine, they don't always have food in the wild". Once I was contrary to her by bringing up the needs she told me to get in my lane and if I don't like her rules to leave. As I was looking for another place I was told they were asking me to leave. I am not writing this in anger but to create an awareness so no other horses have to suffer hunger and neglect as I have seen. I feel awful for the horses I left behind because they are sweet souls whose owners are just unaware since they are trusting of the lady running it. Honestly written by a 35 year equestrian that has boarded in farms in 3 states and also ran a small boarding farm at my home for years. Never have I seen such disregard for the horses. It's just a money machine to this family. Don't be fooled as I was !! Please look around there are so many other places to board your horse. It is unsafe here.

However, we were gifted a Groupon so that's how we knew about OUAC. When we went it was a cloudy and rainy day so it wasn't crowded at all, which was nice. The place was unique because it had many different stations and activities for your kids to play. It's like a huge Montessori playground. My boys loved the train ride and riding on the dinosaurs the most. I like that the place includes both indoor and outdoor stations. The place seems rather small compared to an amusement park like Six Flags, but it's just enough. Kids can easily spend 30 minutes - 1 hour in just one location so I really like how they can enjoy their time and casually play without parents feeling overwhelmed to get everything done to maximize the amount of money spent. We didn't host a birthday party here, but there were other parties booked. I don't know how much it costs, but let me say that the decorations were beautiful! I'm not sure if it was included or if the parents decorated themselves, but if you wanted to go all out for your child, you certainly can. The staff were also ALL super sweet and friendly! The place plans for everything, like rain. They had numerous umbrellas for patrons to use within the grounds. When it started to rain, all the staff were asking if we needed umbrellas, and one even was willing to run in the rain to get us one! Seriously, I've never seen such hospitality in an establishment from everyone! I also would recommend going here on a weekend because according to their website, more stations and activities are open during that time. Even if it's more crowded, I think it is worth it. If you want to do something different for your child, then I would recommend this place!
