I purchased an OTTB from Win Row Farm and had a prepurchase exam done, except for x-rays, as I was…read moreassured by Amy that the horse was returned from the track (being told that this was one they had initially bred) only due to the fact that it was too slow and not interested in being a racehorse. The then-owner brought it back to Amy hoping it could have a second career as a hunter. The gelding passed the vet exam, bloodwork and flexion test, so I purchased him. I live out of state and had him shipped to me. The horse has had lameness issues shortly after purchasing. I've had him now for several years, had him on glucosamine/hoof care supplements for several years, glucosamine injections monthly now and now powdered bute. He's been x-rayed and found to have bone chips. I've tried to contact Amy by phone leaving a voice mail several times and texting her, and also emailing to see if there had been any previous x-rays performed being requested for review by my vet. NO RESPONSE!!! I then tried contacting her husband, Chris, by several methods. Again, NO RESPONSE!!!! This shows me they are not responsible horse sellers! I definitely do not recommend them.

I feel the riding she is getting (special needs) is so beneficial for her physical abilities. The volunteers have all been great. The structure is on point as well. If you are looking for riding for yourself, your little ones, teens, and special needs you should come here. They also offer possible financial assistance if needed, just make sure you get your paperwork in on time!

We called and left a message. A few minutes later a very sleepy sounding person called back and said that "something came up" and they weren't doing pony rides that day. She stated that rides would be happening the next weekend. We had driven 30 minutes for this experience. Needless to say, we never went back and won't be going back. It seems like the owner could have updated the website so that we wouldn't have made the drive. I understand that things come up and that life happens. I wish this organization the best, but my advice to anyone who might be hoping for a pony ride would be to call ahead!

She was absolutely sweet, understanding, knowledgeable, and very patient. My two cousins who went with me aren't very experienced riders, and she walked them through everything. Royal Creek has an amazing way of setting up the entire experience. They are really good at pairing the rider with the house -- not easy to do, but very well done. Once you arrive, you meet your "guide" and then are introduced to your horse. I really enjoyed the fact that you have some one on one time with the horse you'll be riding before you actually get on. You get to give your horse a brush down so they get comfortable with you, after that the horses are saddled up, and they take you to an indoor arena to ride around and get comfortable. Your guide will then make sure you're comfortable to take you out to the field where you'll ride around for a while. This was honestly one of the best horseback riding experiences I have had in a long time. Also, their prices are super reasonable. $105 for 3 people for an 1 1/2 hours

Whether it be training your horse, lessons in riding, taking you to compete in a show...Craig has the experience to make it fun and safe for you.
