Ok, after trying to get my horse boarded at the ranch, I have a very different opinion. When I…read moretoured the facility, I communicated clearly that I intended to board there. The owner said that was not a problem, and I told her I'd call back within a couple of days to make the final arrangements to move my horse there. I proceeded to call back 2 days later and left a message reminding her who I was and that we had discussed boarding my horse there. I asked that she call me back so we could confirm details and plans. Since I had already told my previous stable that I was leaving, I really needed to get all the plans in place. Again, I had let the owner know, in a face to face conversation, that I was interested in moving my horse to her barn at the end of September, and she had agreed that would work for her. However, she never returned my phone call, and she never returned any of the other calls I made over the next week. Since I couldn't very well just show up and hope for the best, I was left searching for another stable at the last second. This was made all the more stressful by the fact that I don't have a horse trailer and I rely on hiring horse haulers to move my horse, a fact the owner of A Worthy Ranch was aware of. I couldn't wait until the last minute to hire someone, yet I couldn't hire someone without knowing where we'd be going. I'm not sure what happened or why, but A Worthy Ranch left me in a very tight spot. It was quite disappointing and stressful, and it's an experience I hope to never have again. Thankfully the nice folks out at Tanglewood Ranch in Franktown saved the day by letting me board there even on short notice. Tanglewood turned out to be nicer and cheaper too, so all's well that ends well. Based on my experience, I'd strongly discourage boarding at A Worthy Ranch. If the owner won't contact you when you're trying to start paying her money, why would she contact you after you're already a customer? And if she had changed her mind and decided not to let me board there, why didn't she have the decency to let me know?

My 3-year-old loves horses and wanted to try horseback riding so I looked for someplace close that…read morewould give her that opportunity. I found A Worthy Ranch on the internet and called and made an appointment. It was $45 for a one hour ride and they have a miniature horse named Tiddlywinks that they let small children ride. A ranch hand named Anna was really patient and good with children and showed my daughter how to put the saddle on the horse and clean his hooves out before the ride. We walked the horse to a small arena and Anna led Tiddlywinks and my daughter around in circles. It was calm and slow so I wasn't worried that my child would get hurt. It was a good experience and I'm glad we did it.

Update: The owner called me over a year after she said she would pay me what she owed me ($198)…read more She stated she would do this if I took down my review and created a contract we would both sign stating that I would not review her business again. I decided that I did not want to enter into any additional contracts with this individual and that my review was likely helpful to members of the community. I would happily issue another update if the owner did the right thing and paid me what she owed me.

We had our first and last lesson with Tina today. I spoke…read morewith Tina on the phone and requested horseback riding lessons. She said she also does teaching with her students, I said that sounds good. At the end of our first "lesson", my daughter mostly listened to Tina talk about her horse, NO RIDING. I texted her when I got home to ask if my daughter will be riding next week? She said no, there are no riding lessons until maybe the 4th lesson. I clearly stated again I am here for RIDING LESSONS, if she will not offer riding lessons, I want a refund, she refused to give a lesson or a refund. DO NOT USE THIS WOMAN FOR RIDING LESSONS AND DO NOT PAY HER ANY MONEY UPFRONT!!!!!!!!!!
