The trail itself was fun. We went up and down some pretty steep inclines & thru a stream a couple of times. Way more interesting terrain than we city folk have ridden thru on past rides. This is just a one man operation so if you call & have to leave a message, understand that you are calling Bill's cell not some assistant, and he's either on a ride or getting the next group ready. It took a few missed connections for Bill & I to finally talk on the phone but it was worth it. Highly recommended for a fun laid back experience.

Great people! They love their horses and it shows.... Such a gentle ride. Will definitely be back!read more

We just had the best horseback trail riding experience…read more Melisa and her all ladies crew are amazing. Melisa was very courteous and pleasant to talk too. In a few minutes she set us up, a family of 4+1, for a custom horse ride experience within the same day. I say 4+1 because our two year old was to little to ride. However, Melissa offered to give him a ride and keep him close to the horse riding group in her four-wheeler Kubota. She took pictures of us riding the horses, which she will send us, and she allowed the kids to treat the horses with apples and carrots that we brought ourselves for them. A great, unforgettable family experience. It was all worth it, and we will definitely do it again. We will also recommend to all family and friends. Thank you very much Melissa and the crew!

She offers quality, professional, and safe riding lessons for riders of all ages and experience levels, in both Western and English. She has worked with the local 4H and has taken her students to shows winning top ribbons. She got the east coast Cowboy Dressage started in our area with consultation of, and site hosting with, Kenda Firkins. Claudia has trained horses and taught students up to Prix St George level dressage. She is particularly skilled at horse/rider evaluation for problem solving to help riders with their own horses.

But what makes this Stables stand out above all the rest by far is Claudia it's owner. I grew up in a stable like this & it was the best childhood a child could have. Claudia is great with kids & her horses are very safe. She is an extremely knowledgeable, caring, expert teacher, but so much more that that, she is always coming up with new fun things to do with the kids that are more than just students to her but more like family. She teaches students of all ages & experience levels, every aspect of horsemanship.

The repeated questioning felt excessive and honestly left me wondering whether assumptions were being made about me before I even arrived. As a Hispanic customer, I can guarantee once my name was revealed, suddenly I didn't know my own weight?? Being asked to reconfirm as if I was expected to be pearl the whale. Furthermore, I almost died and they HARASSED ME!! I was in a hospital bed, calls after calls leading to the below messages. From an unknown number not registered to the business. Super unprofessional, will never consider this place EVER AGAIN. Gitty yo ass up out the way while you can.
