    Beautiful trails through the palm forest. I'll second a few other reviews- Shirley is a gruff older horsewoman. Don't go inside the house, my friend almost fell through the floor. I believe all her horses are "rescues". She has a lot of quirks. Don't pat the horse- that's their punishment? Well, horses should not have any punishment, what's that about? Don't dare knot the reins. Don't ask to mount by yourself. Your best bet is to put that you are a beginner. I think she is kinder then. She upset me at first by trying to one up me. Everything I did was wrong. I decided she would not steal my joy of being on a horse and the ride went well from there. It was a beautiful day for riding. I'll be going back with my best riding buddy from childhood, but put that we are beginners to avoid the ridicule. Oh and the price is very reasonable. Ignore her and you'll enjoy the ride!

    Let me begin by saying I am not a fan of horses. They kind of creep me out. (And I think they know that.) So when my husband surprised me by signing us up for a group horseback riding activity with his company I wasn't thrilled. Fear of horses aside, I set off Saturday with the group excited to do something new. The organizer of the event talked about this business on the way out to Cocoa and really praised the owner and her animal rescue. He mentioned that not only does she rescue horses but she rescues dogs and cats as well. His wife gave us a little warning that the home the business is run out of should probably be condemned, but the horseback riding operation was top notch, so not to be alarmed. I will give you a stronger warning. When you arrive avoid going inside the house at all costs. This means stop at the nearby gas station to use the restroom before you arrive. Trust me. Now on to the horses. There were about 9 people in our group. We ranged from completely inexperienced (me) to the event organizer, who rides frequently. The owner took care to match each of us up with a horse that matched our abilities. The more experienced riders were at the front of the pack, while the rest of us held up the rear. (My horse, Sadie, is normally used for children, which made me feel better. She pretty much went on auto-pilot.) In addition to the owner there were 2 other trail guides who rode with us. One in the middle of the group and another at the back to help us along the way. The guide in the back with us was a youngish girl (probably around 13?) and she was great! We had a lot of fun talking to her and she was great at telling the horses what to do. The trail itself was very nice. It seemed like a pretty long ride (over an hour for sure) and the trail winds through narrow paths in the wood and more open areas where the horses could run. Yep, we were told how to have the horses jog and canter. That kind of terrified me the first time, but it got better. Towards the end I was no longer in fear for my life and was actually having a lot of fun. Overall it was a great experience and I will probably go back. It was a great group activity. Members of our group who had ridden before had a lot of positive things to say about the business and I trust their opinion. If you go be sure to wear a hat, long pants, and sunscreen. Our ride was at 11:00 and it was hot and sunny. Even though much of the trail is in the woods there are still open areas where you are likely to get sunburned. Oh, and one other thing. The owner is so, so nice and offered to give us all eggs before we left. (There are chickens all over the place.) So we each took home a bunch of fresh farm eggs. Well, I learned the hard way at breakfast the next morning that you need to check eggs to see if they are fertilized or not. Yuck. =( So if you take the eggs, Google candling eggs first and figure it out.

    So much fun!!! I went for my bday and had the time of my life. The owner was so nice and the horses were well trained. The scenery was beautiful and I loved how she walked us through everything, and gave us some history about the place. We even got to trot and canter which was super fun! I seriously recommend this place, it is so worth the money.

    What a great day !!!

    What a wonderful time! My husband surprised me with reservations (SUN 4/23/17) as an early Birthday…read morepresent. Upon our early/Punctual arrival, Barb and Robert were still preparing the horses for our trail ride, so my husband and I took a little, exploratory walk around the ranch. We were able to meet several Horses and a very sweet Goat. One of the horses is Ziva... she's an absolute Lover! We returned back to the stable to meet our Horses, Dancer and Houston. Dancer was my Riding Buddy and he was a very good Boy. I Love Him. My husband was paired with Houston, a beautiful Painted and also a very good Boy. Barb and Robert assisted us with mounting and briefed us on what to expect of the trail as well as our horses disposition and preferred methods of control, i.e. DO'S/DON'TS. They were Super Nice and Funny TOO! The trail was beautiful and serene. WE HAD SOOO MUCH FUNNN!!! AND Will Definitely Return , as we are local residents. I'm so pleased to know that I can travel just a few moments down the road and feel so far removed from the hectic bustle of Disney. I Can't Wait to go Back. I even think that I'd like to be paired with Dancer again. And AGAIN! Hope you enjoyed your Birthday Barb!

    Wonderful guides and horses and amazing scenery!…read more The last time I road a horse was over 30 years ago, but the patient guides and horses at II Ventures put me at ease. Dancer knew the trail well and kept up with the other horses so I could enjoy the beautiful Green Swamp and some great conversation with the owners. II Ventures would. E perfect for new and experienced riders, families, singles, young, older, or whomever wants to ride. I highly recommend!
