The staff were so patient and made sure we were comfortable with the horses, which were so gentle and beautiful. The ride was so great, I was sad to see it end. The two ladies that were our guides were so informative and taught us good things to know as we were riding. We will definitely be going back. If you are looking for nice rail ride, you will definitely want to book your ride here...GREAT people, GREAT horses and very reasonable prices!

No matter where you start with your riding skills, Lisa (the owner), has the ability to see what…read moreyou need and take you further. I am a solid intermediate rider. Her horses are fantastic, well rounded, safe, and offer a challenge for riders of all levels. She takes the time to properly address safety for horse and rider as well as the details required to properly care for and own a horse. The care and time she puts in to her horses is reflected by the amazing fitness level and happy attitude her animals have. She makes the lessons fun as well as very informative on how best to take care of a horse. My daughter absolutely adores Lisa, and they share the same connection with each other, that they share with the love of horses.

M&S has changed not only my horse's life, but my own. When I brought him here he was underweight,…read morenasty, and full of ailments. Michele's careful and personalized attention has brought my guy health and happiness. Having constant turnout in giant pastures with other horses, as well as unlimited hay and ample grain has made him perfectly plump and healthy. Her thoughtful, kind, and strategic approach to training my ottb has made him more than happy to work and given him the balance and confidence to do things I once thought impossible. But the biggest thing more me is her patience with me. I was scared of my horse that I didn't understand. Michele has taught me how to better horse owner, horse listener, and given my boy and I confidence and trust in each other. Finally, with her network of top-notch professionals (farrier, vet, etc.) my guy is...dare I say...an easy keep?! I couldn't live this place more. When I was forced to move to a few years after coming here, I chose to keep my guy here and visit monthly. It breaks my heart being away from him but I can't imagine taking him away from the family, comfort, and trustworthiness of M&S.

The person who leads the trial ride is very friendly. The whole experience is relaxing and fun.read more

I never leave reviews but they knew this one was coming. My daughter's 4th Birthday was ruined…read moretoday. I've never been so humiliated in my life. I spent a lot of money to provide our own food,  decorations,  games, pinata, and crafts. I arrive at 12 to set up for the party at 1:00. Im greeted in a rude manor that they weren't expecting me yet. We wait around then are lead to a barn with an all dirt floor. TRASH in front of the barn.. a broken window screen and random junk. Right inside the barn is a huge pile of trash and junk. Could be rats or animals living in it. Not safe for 4 year olds. Im given 2 dirty tables and no chairs. This was the moment  I started crying. I wanted to leave and take my daughter some place else but people were going to be there at any minute. They try to make it right by bringing a dirty patio table and moldy chairs. Did I mention no heat? Most my guest stood for 3 hours. Dust is getting all over the food. I will give credit where it due. We were doing a repunzel party and one of the girls wore the outfit..she was great with the kids. The riding was okay. I think the arena could have been kept nicer and horses could have been cleaned up better. We made the best of what we could and I have photos to back up all of this review. I wouldn't let my dog have a party here and would not recommend any preschooler coming here. The trash is a hazard. I was offered a partial refund but this isn't about the money. This is a respect issues. Take my money and get a dumpster in there. What should have been a magical day was a total embarrassment.

This barn is like a second family to me. The people are so kind and so forward going. Ashley is a…read moregreat barn owner, and the rest of the staff is full of hardworking employees. We put the horses first, so before making assumptions about said horses, ask. Many of our horses are rescues, so perfect looks don't come like 'that'. It takes time. Ferrier is out when needed, Stalls are done everyday, if not twice a day. All horses are UTD on medications, shots, etc. They get hay 24/7, inside and outside. Water is 24/7 as well, outdoor troughs and indoor buckets. There is so much more I could add, but in conclusion I love the barn, and I couldn't ask for better. :)

I can't say enough good things about King's View Acres and Ellen the owner/instructor. My child has…read morelearned so much in the +9 months she's been riding with Ellen who's an excellent Dressage instructor, and an amazing horse owner. At King's View Acres the focus isn't just on riding, in addition to that, Ellen teaches kids how to properly take care of their horse inside and out. The stables are always clean, and the horses are clearly happy/healthy. Overall this has been a great experience for my child, she's more confident and eager to tackle challenges.

Went out this afternoon. Great trip! The guide was great, made the whole ride into a story!…read moreBeautiful ride through the battlefields. If I could change anything, the rear trail guide was a little dramatic and was not happy with Levi the horse. Each time she yelled out, I would get lost in the story and would loose at least 5 minutes trying to catch up. May have just been she was having an off day, so I think only fair to rate how I felt overall about the ride.
