    Our group recently stayed at this ranch for a special event. While there were parts of the…read moreexperience we enjoyed, unfortunately there were also several things that made members of our group extremely uncomfortable. During our late-night horseback ride, the employee accompanying us touched the thighs of the women riding and got extremely close to, if not touching, one woman's butt. I was one of the ladies he touched. His name is JR. He also made a sexual comment to the youngest woman in our group about men who ride horses making better lovers because of their hip movement. This was completely inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. Earlier in the evening, the same employee had been drinking and continued inserting himself into our group's event. Telling us he had to stay during the bonfire even though the next morning a female employee told us that was a lie. He did not have to stay. During the horseback ride, we also witnessed him yelling at a horse, calling it names, and becoming physical with it, which was upsetting to watch. He would hit the horse in the face and call it a "dickhead." There were some additional communication issues regarding the horseback riding schedule and breakfast. I had reached out to the owner twice on us not arriving a three. When she communicated with me at the beginning I took it as we can check in as soon as 3 pm and check out as late of 11 am. However, she never told me the horse back ride was on a schedule. She also had poor communicate with answering and acknowledge my text on time we would be arriving and then was rude when we arrived. We had been told there would be cinnamon rolls for breakfast but were instead provided muffins that were available to everyone on the ranch. We also misunderstood the level of privacy we would have during the event. The owner later clarified that we had not paid for a completely private ranch rental. People were coming in and out of the table we were provided for meals to get food for themselves. However, those misunderstandings are minor compared with the conduct we experienced during the horseback ride. We brought all of these concerns to the owner and was told that she would speak with the employee and that nothing like this had been reported about him during his three years working there. However, I have found other complaints similar on the behavior towards the horses. I'm sharing our experience because I believe other women considering staying or riding here deserve to know what occurred during our visit.

    The family wanted to ride horses. They actually wanted to ride horses. Whew. Well thankfully…read morethere's a ranch right by us where you can do that. So check it. They brought the horses out and let the kids choose the horses. I like that because it was very interactive with them. Then they thoroughly went over instructions on how to ride & direct the horses. You can see the level of care that they have for the horses but also for the safety of the riders. I appreciated that so much. My kiddos are ready to go again! They loved it.
