She was terrific in giving my wife tips on how to ride and make the entire experience enjoyable. Horses are well trained, and unlike other trail horses, they take a wide swath through the trees and don't try to pin you. It's obvious that they take good care of their horses. I've been riding for 64 years and my wife just started a couple years ago but we enjoyed and will be back with our family.

After reading the reviews on this stable, We were looking forward to a ride. We drove to the…read morelocation listed on their website and was greeted by a sign that says "moved nearby". Not seeing any directions or address, I called to find out the new address. The man immediately barked at me that they had moved and "he didn't have time to discuss this". When I again tried to obtain directions, I was again met with a bark. He then stated if we didn't have reservations that we couldn't go till one. The website does recommend reservations however we decided with short notice to go (no open business hours to call prior to our decision). I will not attempt to support this business again.

This was an excellent trip. I booked the tickets the day of and I don't recommend waiting because…read morethe earlier times were all taken and the time left was when it might rain. Luckily the rain time shifted and we arrived 20 minutes before our appointment for 3pm to sign waivers. We took pics with the horses that were there and we had time to pet them. I pet mouse the entire time and when we were assigned horses, my husband said i wanted mouse. I recommend not picking your own horse & just having a horse be assigned to you. The workers know the horses best. Mouse is on the slower side but I still enjoyed my time on him. They know which horse hasn't been out yet, has more energy for the ride, etc. All the horses did a great job and they're friendly. At the end of the ride, mouse turned around to look at me while I was still on him. He's so funny... I guess he wanted to see who kept talking him. On the ride we saw turkeys and deer. It was a nice experience. Would do again.

I absolutely love this place. If you need to board your horse RREC has the most dependable, honest…read moreand caring people. It's not your typical boarding stables. Everyone is friendly. The equine care is bar none. Everyone is responsive and respectful. You could not ask for happier or healthier animal care. The barn and grounds are immaculate. The owner and staff are amazing. If your looking for lessons. Again amazing staff. Amazing owner. If you can't walk they will make sure you can ride. The best lesson horses I've been around. They will all teach you more than you can possibly learn anywhere else. Trail Rides are also great never a complaint there. The best thing about RREC is the passion and commitment to what they do and who they are. No one stands alone. Not only is it a team it's a family. Giving it 100 plus stars.

My eight-year-old daughter who had never been on a horse went on a thirty minute ride and LOVED it. They were patient with her and she learned a ton.
