    The stable with the horses
    Ariel D.

    I had the most amazing experience with Amanda and my husband. I was screaming as soon as we pulled in because I've been begging my husband to take me here and he surprised me for my birthday! Amanda and Carly made my experience wonderful. Amanda went above and beyond to make it extremely special. I was on the brink of tears THE ENTIRE time I was there because it just meant so much to me. The experience was beautiful, the weather was perfect to take a little stroll through the trails. I could've spent all day I'm hoping to become a regular! I asked Amanda if they would do a season pass for me

    "Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more" - Lil Nas X (2019) My homegirl messaged me and told me about a Groupon special that Kay's Acres was running where two people could go horseback riding for $70, so I threw together my lil best country outfit and yeehawed up in there. Prior to our reservation, I noticed that I exceeded their weight limit but I decided to call in just to double-check if there was any way I could still ride. They told me that they had two horses that could carry an additional 60lbs and that I would still able to ride so long as it was at the beginning of the day so the horses wouldn't be too tired. I was greatly appreciative of the fact they have an array of different horses to accommodate different customers. The horse ride itself was fun, our guide Sarah, was very knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions throughout our experience. The trial itself is walking only so you don't need any prior experience to ride. At the end of the trail, they take your picture (which ours came out fabulous might I add), and you can even go to their petting zoo and feed the animals. All of the little farm animals were SO cute! All in all, I would definitely recommend going to Kay's Acres. My friends and I had a blast!

    Last Summer I was looking for a fun social distancing activity to get out of the house. I've been talking about going horseback riding for the longest time. I wanted to plan something special for my partner and I. I booked the private trail ride for 2. I definitely recommend dressing down and making sure you wear sneakers. It was a very hot day I wish I had a tank top on. Before you enter the stables they go over the do's and don't for safety. There was another family there with younger kids getting the safety spiel. Our trail guide was very nice and sweet. We stopped at certain points to do photo opportunities. We both had a great time and it was definitely a great memory. They have an airbnb on site as well so if you aren't from the area you could certainly rent and plan a trail ride or lessons. There are a few other animals on site that you pet and feed.

    My boyfriend and I have been talking about riding a horse for the longest. I decided to surprise him and book a private couple trail ride. After researching different facilities I liked the vibe of Kay acres. The pricing was just right and throughout their social media it looked laid back and fun! Alicia was our guide and she was very nice and communicated well. We had the best time and he loved seeing the other farm animals (pigs, goats etc). The owner Joe seems like a character. Overall it was a great experience the only tip I have is if they add a bigger umbrella or covering for when you are waiting to enter the farm and they are going over safety procedures. It was extremely hot and the sun is shining directly on you behind the fence.

    We had a group of 7 for a trail ride and to be with and feed the animals. Such a wonderful experience. Horses were wonderful. Staff so friendly. I urge anyone wanting a great fall day to go to Kay's

    I lived in Deep Creek since 1973 and I have never visited this park. I was pleasantly surprised…read morethat my Sister and I ran into other Creekers who were also there with their children for the first time. I loved the displays and the information about the Enslaved People who dug out the swamp to allow others to navigate the waterways. I was so happy that we went on a brisk day when the bugs were laying low. HeeHee! We were able to walk around and look at the dock, the farm house, and a few other out buildings for the farm area. Very interesting that they were families that still lived next to the swamp area. The parking lot is well-kept and free. We found a few places to sit and eat, as well as a few water fountains for visitors. Everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed listening to the water. Very nice visit!

    To be honest, people on insta were telling me I was actually at the wrong location for what I was…read morelooking for. I was so excited to fit in time to go hike the dismal swamp. I've been thinking about it for a while and it fit right into my timeliness this week visiting Machicomoco and Kiptopeke State Parks. I got here and it was all paved. Bikes and pet walkers. I expected some dirt trails and pine needle tails and smelly water to brave through. Cattails or pussy willows if you prefer. Instead I got hard pavement and dogs. I did walk a little ways out. It just wasn't my thing. Cheers to the people who bike and pet walk here. If you pick up poo, put the bag in the trash. Why pick it up if you try to anonymously drop it further down the trail?

    A chilly Sunday afternoon after a night of steady rain. The ground is muddy and scattered with…read morepuddles. Temperature low 40's. For myself, and likely most people the trek out here will be long, but it will be worth it. I made the decision this summer enjoy a few new experiences and to learn a few new skills before fall approached. Learning to ride a horse was one of these objectives. I searched Google and all of the deal sites for horse riding lessons. I even had the opportunity to ride a horse at the oceanfront this summer but declined. I did not want to just jump on a horse (having no prior equine experiences) and trot a mile down the beach with a dozen or so other people who also had no idea what they were doing. This is not at all what I was looking for. My online searches turned up Pony Riding lessons in Chesapeake with Sea Breeze Ponies. I didn't know anything about the establishment but when I called and spoke to the instructor I had a good feeling about her. Also this is exactly what I wanted. A lesson. I wanted to get on a horse or pony and feel comfortable...feeling confident I knew would be a stretch. I consider the location to be pretty deep in Chesapeake. Because the signage is not very visible from the road Sea Breeze Ponies can be easily passed. The signage faces a field. But there is a flag hanging from a fence that you can see as well as a red barn and a two story grey house, that is where you will need to turn. Sea Breeze Ponies is in the rear behind the house. When you arrive your pony will be affixed to a post and you will be instructed to brush the pony really well, all the way around. They are so beautiful. If it is your first visit the instructor will put the bit, saddle, bridle etc. on. Pay attention though as you may be instructed to remove them and return them to their respective storage areas at the end. On subsequent visits you will likely be doing these actions yourself (if you are old enough/capable). Once my pony LADY was ready I walked her out to the ring in the back. Getting onto the pony was fairly easy.The dismount, not quite as effortless. Lady and I walked around first connected to the instructor, then once we were comfortable with each other the instructor let us go off on our own. The key is to really pay attention to how you hold the reigns and be firm in your verbal and physical instructions to the pony. I enjoyed the lesson, learning to get Lady to go in the direction I wanted, having her turn around, getting her to move again whenever she decided to stop. The end of the lesson removing everything from the pony, storing the items where they belong and brushing the pony down again. Your session pretty much ends the way it began. Brooke is a great instructor and she really has a way with children. I've seen her interact with two young girls during their lessons. She is patient and speaks to them in a gentle manner while being very clear on what she expects from them. Brooke has a pleasant countenance and attitude that puts visitors at ease. She has a great deal of experience, having been working in various aspects of the equine arena for many years. I waited until it was December and freezing to redeem my lesson :-( not the best decision. But as long as it isn't raining or snowing, I believe you can still have your lesson. They may also have a consignment shop accepting anything "horse" and they accept consignment ponies. Check http://www.seabreezeponies.com/ as well as their Facebook page for updates and details. Please forgive me if I've used any of the incorrect terminology regarding Horse gait and equipment. I've only had one lesson :-)

    Great set up for riding. We made it to SBP on a very day. Although it was pretty miserable…read moretemperature wise. It was a great little adventure for our LO. Attempting to make it to SBP everything that could have gone wrong did. But I glad we made it. SBP is located in one of the more rural parts of chesapeake. You get to see farms and other lots of other animals. Bring your boots and saddle up with Sea Breeze Ponies. Happy Riding Yeeps!!!
