My roommate rides at Sierra Woods Farm and I've always watched her ride her horse - this time I…read morewanted to give it a try! I did a beginner (VERY beginner) group lesson with my roommates and Emily Ahlfeld, a trainer at Sierra Woods. We learned how to groom and tack up our horses as well as safely pilot them. My horse was named Pooh Bear and he was awesome! I learned how to walk, post, trot and steer. Emily was very fun and engaging. I give her props for teaching three 21-year-olds how to ride as beginners. We were in the indoor ring, but Sierra Woods has 2 outdoor rings as well. The farm itself is large with multiple outdoor pastures for the horses. The price of a beginner group lesson was $45 - pretty affordable compared to other barns in the area. Overall, my horse lesson at Sierra Woods was a bucket list item that I can check off, and I highly recommend Sierra Woods to anyone looking for a start with horses.

Sierra Woods is the perfect match for my daughter. Amy Tilson-Ochoa (owner and trainer) is very…read morepersonable and low-key while still being very professional. There is no yelling and screaming at the riders at this barn. We moved to Sierra Woods from another Indianapolis area barn due to the high-stress environment at the previous barn. In comparison to our old barn, Amy is a joy to work with and has re-energized my daughter's love of horses after she was discouraged at her previous barn. Amy does several Indianapolis area shows as well as shows in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee (about 3 shows per month; more in the summer). HIGHLY recommended!

They don't teach the kids how to tack up or groom the horses unless you enroll in a camp. Ask around the horse world - nothing but terrible reviews for Robin. Her business skills are nil, and she has been kicked out of multiple barns in the area for not paying or just being untruthful.

They sell fresh dairy, eggs, meat, sourdough, lotions, and other home goods--but the real magic is the experience.

They've learned more than just riding and taking care of horses they are learning responsibility and camaraderie as well and with some good people.

I have a deposit of 46 Trading Power to RCI and only 36 is the remaining balance of trading power…read more The reason given to me by RCI Staff name Gabriel that I canceled my reservation but he cannot name the hotel. According to him it happened last May 2021 of which we were supposed to travel on that date to Manila but Cathay Pacific canceled our flight. Cathay Pacific canceled our flight twice until finally we finally managed to fly to Manila last June 21, 2021. We stayed in the same hotel for 9 nights or 10 days and used 5 trading powers which we have no problem. The problem when we canceled our reservation in the same hotel where we stayed, RCI charged us of extra 5 trading power when we canceled the reservation because Cathay Pacific canceled our flight thus we have no option except to cancel the reservation. Now the big question why RCI charged us of 5 trading power when we didn't use said trading power? What is their valid reason to charge us? The reservation was canceled then rebooked it when Cathay Pacific assured us we can travel on that particular date June 21, 2021.

I have had issues with RCI with a cruise purchase and not sure if we will ever use them again! We…read morehave called many times about issues with our cruise and it keeps being pushed back. We bought a cruise back in December, after they changed their format and we thought we were getting a great deal, turns out to be a horror show. I was sent an e-mail that stated we were going to get an all-inclusive cruise with an On-Board Credit with a Infinite Veranda Balcony. First, afterwards we found out that the cabin we got had an obstructed view, but our salesman stated it was not on his ship map (this was minor to the next issue but found out later it is 40% obstructed). Second, I was talking to the cruise company (Celebrity) and found that not all of our gratuities were paid, we are missing our Dining and Stateroom gratuities. According to Celebrity, we have to talk to RCI about it. Lastly, when also talking to Celebrity, I found they have no record of an on-board credit. RCI has been called and a complaint has been made, but that was almost a month ago when that was made. But, I called and asked originally almost this 5-6 weeks ago. We were told that they need to refer to the QA Department and review the phones calls we made with our salesman, and that was during the first call. Second time we called they said it would be 10 working days, then the next call we were told 14 working days, and now it was been a lot longer and it is still being pushed off. We just got off the phone and they stated there is still no answer and they will call us back before the holiday weekend for an update. Our cruise is now within 3 months and we have been dealing with this for almost 2 months. So far we are looking at over a $10,000 cruise for all of use, with a lot of unanswered questions. We do not know if this will ever get resolved, but, if you are looking for a cruise, I think I would NOT use RCI!
