My daughter attended a horse riding camp this summer at Suncoast Stables and had an incredible…read moretime. What did we love about it? -The themes. Each camp had a different theme and kids could sign up for the one they liked. -Covered riding area. Rain or shine, the kids could ride. -Kona Ice day. The truck came out and the kids could purchase a treat halfway thru the week. -End of the week presentation. Parents were invited to a Friday performance that showed off what their kids had learned. So why not five stars? Mainly because of the lack of communication. Leading up to the start of camp, the only information we had was from the sheet we filled out months before to reserve our spot. An introductory email would be incredible. Also, the paper handed out to parents about the presentation had the wrong time on. I was only able to confirm the actual time because we attended with a good friend who had the owner's phone number. Tightening up the communication would take Suncoast's Summer Camps from being amazing to perfect!

I can say with some authority that while there I was very impressed with the facilities and care she received. She was always feed on time, in clean surroundings, and checked over regularly for any injuries. The farm owner is very knowledgeable, friendly and responsible. My filly had many horse friends and had the unique opportunity to meet other types of farm animals like goats, cows, capybaras & chickens. We only got to stay for four months due to us moving but I would definitely recommend this farm! Thank you DunnDee Farms for taking care of my baby!

All the trainers are knowledgable, supportive and truly care about their riders. As a parent I have been very impressed with the dedication Shana and all the trainers have to making sure all riders no matter of their ability reach their full potential. My daughter has not only learned to ride horses and made life long friends but she has also learned so many life lessons. Responsibility, patience, perseverance, and discipline to name a few. If you looking for a barn that has a family feeling and where your child learn, grow and thrive as a rider and a person than this is the place to be. We are proud to be part of the True Blue Farm Family.

Annwyn Equestrian Center answered my prayers! I contacted the barn and got a quick response...Yes, they could accommodate my 4 horses. I made a reservation and hoped I would not need to use it. Well, Dorian stayed scary so I left for Annwyn. The owner, Kathleen Petersen texted with me often inquiring about my trip and arrival. She greeted me warmly and helped me unload... amazing personal touch. I met the barn manager, Lacy, and was instantly grateful for her cooperative attitude and "whatever you need" way of getting us settled in. They took care of my horses as I would. They were friendly, courteous and understanding in our time of need. I highly recommend this farm for evacuation. I wish I lived closer so I could take lessons at this farm. Just wonderful!

I have been taking horseback riding lessons with Swede, and honestly, he is the best teacher! He is…read moresuper knowledgeable about horses and excellent at communicating. He is very safety conscious, as well as patient, and easy going. He has been great at testing my understanding after instruction by asking me questions, always with a friendly demeanor and positive eye contact. Swede has taken me step by step from establishing a connection with his horse primarily through grooming (she loves to be brushed), to then learning how to properly put the blanket, saddle, and bit on the horse, to learning all the good basics of gracefully mounting, staying balanced on the horse, and effectively controlling it, et cetera. He is a most gifted instructor, and I have enjoyed my lessons and gained much confidence in riding. His horse Destiny is amazing, a super experienced and "wise" horse. In short, I highly recommend Swede for horsemanship lessons if you are a novice or know nothing about riding and want to learn from the best.

I just can't say enough good things about our experience and about Gus and his whole staff (including the horses). He did a phenomenal job teaching everyone about how to handle our horses and carefully matched each rider with the right mount. Even our most nervous riders were smiling and confident by the time we hit the trail.

I booked this experience for my husband and I for his birthday. Gus was direct and accommodating,…read morehowever I expected a little more of a trail ride. We rode out from his stable down his driveway to the road where the horses were walking on the pavement and around a basketball goal (he was directing us to walk them in the grass however, there was very little room to do this because it was in the right of way) and then he had us heard cattle which was not fun because we aren't experienced, and it ended up being more stressful than enjoyable. One of his horses had an injury on his back and hoof so he was limping and I had to lean forward as to not bother his sore - in my opinion it was not worth the money. It's not an actual "trail ride". Its up and down someone's property and street. He also had his daughter come in on a Saturday to help out which was odd. I'm being generous by giving 3 stars.
