He made sure we all understood what to do and guided us through the process without being overbearing. We were able to take in the gorgeous sites and just enjoy our time without having to worry about a thing! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the communication leading up to this event was a little rough. We had to reschedule a few times, due to storms and a couple in our party getting sick, and texts/calls were not answered in a timely manner. There was also some confusion about where to meet and what time and such. However, that did not derail the actual experience, which was lovely. I would recommend, just be aware that your communication attempts may go unanswered for a while.

Communication was superior when setting up the reservations and the day as it progressed…read more A very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They chose horses according to your abilities and acquainted you with them before riding. It was a scenic ride thru Green Swamp Wilderness and was enjoyed by all riders. We definitely would go again!!

I am writing this review in hopes to warn both horse owners/ranchers and homeowners in the Ocala…read moreFlorida area. this place reeks of a scam. My personal experience was first, i of course saw their huge billboard on HWY 40 heading east toward Dunnellon/Rainbow Springs stating they offer wood shavings and peanut mulch for livestock stalls. i wanted the peanut mulch for my landscape as i am reseeding my lawn. so i look up the business via internet and make the call. first alarm goes off in m head as the lady who answers the phone and apparently takes orders for customers, is not at the business, at home as she says and has to find a pen and paper.maybe i thought i caught her off guard so i let it roll. i asked to have 20 yrds of peanut mulch delivered and ask them to call before they come so i can make payment with my credit card.also gave specific directions since my property has 2 entrances. the next day the driver just shows up with a dump truck knocking on my front door, but i havent made a payment yet (second alarm). the driver keeps stating how busy he was and asking me where to dump it. i of course "wait a minute i need to pay for it first". the driver gets mouthy and pushy " where do i dump, here? whats the problem, im just to pick up check" . i stated that i asked you people to call first and ( alarm 3) he lies and says he has been calling all morning, yet not a single call.yet he still seems so anxious to dump this load and run off with no money??? so i walk behind the truck and take a smell, as peanut mulch SHOULD have a fairly strong peanut aroma. nope smells like landfill garbage. so i ask, " how many yards you have in there?" 20-25 he says " i dunno, my brother he messed up". i tell them to leave and get their act together. the website says they have been in business for 20 yrs, yet after 5 search engines on businesses and not finding any reviews ,me having to ADD them here,and them not being customer savvy enough to secure payment before delivery , id say thats a bunch of hooey. stay away and please warn ranchers etc. i dont want any animals harmed as i have 4 pets that would have been subjected to whatever he was hoping to dump on my property.
